Pools and Ponds

We had a wonderful memorial day weekend. The weather was beautiful. And good times with friends and family. We started the weekend out right with a dinosaur pool party! Funny how water attracts....everytime we were in our yard the kids from around the camp would come on up to "swim". (I use that word lighty since our pool is so small). Ethan stayed his distance after his accidental fall in with his clothes on!

Here is Kaden's inpiration. This guy can do no wrong in Kaden's eyes!

And of course, what is a pool party without popsicles!

On monday we headed to Grama and Pops' for a memorial day picnic. It was relaxing (as relaxing as it can be with two wild boys!). The boys had fun at the pond. Kaden was trying to touch the fish.......

..one almost got him!

Good times with the cousin's. Crystal is giving the kids an 'educational' lesson! Always a teacher...even on the days off!

Ethan really wanted a smooch from Olivia!

And then of course what is a get together without pictures of the kids. Look at these handsome young lads holding these princess girls!

Looks like Ethan has Ava in a neck lock...and Kaden looks like he just flicked Olivia in the back of the head!


And then of course Pops is always fussing........ "Kaden quit throwing that food in the pond....slow down....what a commotion!" While Grama and Ethan slowly and calmly feed the fish.

It was a fun filled weekend.

Family Fun Day

We have had a very busy week so....we decided to make today a 'family fun day'! And fun it was. After some searching ( the night before) for a fun place to take the kids we found this little hole in the wall. The boys had a blast at this Petting Zoo & Farm. They had some interesting things there based on nursery rhyms ...... this was "The Old Lady's Shoe". Brian is trying to save Kaden from the "Crooked Man's House" falling on him. Ethan is an innocent bystander.

It was a beautiful day for a hayride......

until the bloodthirsty spiders attacked!

Then we headed to the pine maze. We had to get real low.....!

and adventure through wooded terrain.

Finally we were victorious!

It was a great day with our buds!
