Bowling

Today is James last day with us. We have had so much fun with him. We got to go to the zoo, play at parks, go to the movies, the aquarium and bowling. Lesley, Justin and Trevor joined us today for a game of bowling. Justin was the winner of the game with a score of 78 and Lesley with the low score of 50. No that is not a typo, no one got over a 100. I was however the only one that bowled a strike. In one of the pictures you can see our scores. We all had a lot of fun, even Sean and Aaron!

Trip to the Aquarium

Today I got up the courage to take the boys to the Aquarium alone. I guess I can't be afraid to do things for the meer fact of having to do it with 4 kids. They will miss out on a lot. We had a lot of fun and boys were great. They really enjoyed seeing all the fish and other sea creatures they have. They learned about Sweet Pea & Scooter, the ray sharks. These sharks are close to becoming extinct and they are trying to bread them at the Aquarium. Here are some pictures from our day!

Zoo Trip

Keith and I took the boys and James (my nephew) to the zoo. They all had a really good time. I think their favorite part was brushing and feeding the goats. They got to pet a baby alligator. Although we didn't get to see everything we had fun. Hopefully I'll be able to take James & Ryan one more time before he heads home.

Camping 2009

Over 4th of July weekend we decided to take the kids camping. The plan was to stay for 2 nights at Kincade. We planned not thinking about looking at the weather report for the weekend. We woke up Friday morning and realized it was suppose to rain Saturday!! Since we already had reservations we still went ahead with our plans. We got down there and set up camp. I kept thinking back to when we were kids and we would take family trips to the lake to go swimming. Now they have a pool to swim in since there are so many boats in the lake. Madison and Ryan had their own tent and Keith and I had ours with Sean & Aaron. They had a fun time helping us set up tents. Then enjoyed playing in them. I thought for sure that one of them would fall before the sun went down. Keith took Madison and Ryan fishing while I stayed at camping getting the small boys down for a nap. We made smores that night. Ryan and Madison loved it, but Sean did not like being sticky so he just ate the graham crackers. The next day we got up and made breakfast. It looked like it was going to rain. A lot of the campers around us had already started packing up. After we ate and cleaned up we decided to go ahead and go home. We packed everything and cleaned up the camp area. Just as we were putting the last bit of stuff into the cars it started raining. It was a good thing we decided to go because it rained the rest of the day. Sitting in tents with 4 kids would not have been fun! We'll be taking them camping again in a couple of weeks. This time we'll check the weather report before we reserve the campsite.
