Joey's Park never disappoints

We had a fun day at Joey's park with Andy. That park never disappoints. the boys brought their nerf guns and were hunting for dinosaurs all day :-) Even though they are rising second graders and seven years old, they still love the tire swing.

Andy, Shane and Jackson.

We concluded the day playing the slip and slide at Andy's house. Great weekend, we also visited with Uncle Adam and Dave as well as a fun trip to Essex to visit Charlotte, Ted & Alex. We went for a boat ride and the boys went kyaking; it was a great day.

weekend update

 We had a great weekend, above Zach and Jackson in Ohio. This weekend we stayed local where it was a cool, and visited the Museum of Science and them on Sunday we visited Trish and went swimming at the pool..

 Friday after camp the boys and Daddy visited Comic Con at the had a blast!!!

 Butterfly garden visit was wonderful, Shane tie die and jackson yellow t-shirt.

Growing up too fast

Shane and Jackson are growing up too fast!
They no longer want my help in the bath, in fact they take showers now and wash their own hair. They don't want my help drying off from the shower- they can do it themselves!

Shane lost a tooth the other day and both of them decided that it would be a good idea to put video cameras in their room so that they could tape the tooth fairy and oh yeah! let's put one in the living room so we can tape Santa coming down the Chimney.

Shane also decided that he was NOT going to put his tooth under his pillow, he wanted to see if the tooth fairy would still come if he left it on the night stand.

Ohio Cousin Time- August 2016

 We had a great weekend visiting our cousins in Ohio. We opted out of the 13 hour drive and flew. Luckily we got home safe and sound before Delta airlines' computers shut down and cancelled all of their flights for 2 days! Here we are preparing to get on the airplane- and selfies with mommy. Jackson Blue and Shane in Green. (Note Shane is wearing his shark tooth necklace).

 Playing marble run at Aunties house with Zach.

 WILLOW! Willow does lots of tricks now, one of them is giving kisses :-)

 We went rock climbing and played basketball at the Community Center. Shane climbed all the way to the top, Jackson made it half way. Basketball was great!

 The B Ball Boys. Shane, Jackson and Zach. Jackson was getting frustrated b/c Shane could get some baskets and do some tricks, but Shane was trying VERY Hard and did not give up. Jackson on the other hand, gave up pretty easily but when he finally put his mind to it, he was dribbling and getting some baskets as well.

 Jackson and Willow.

 Shane getting kisses from Willow.

 Uncle Keith a.k.a. Daddy and Zach playing an intense game of NFL football.

 Auntie gave the boys great star wars bags and in them were little dinosaur eggs that grew in water.

 After dinner one night we made Somore's over the camp fire. Here is Auntie teaching Shane how to make a fire and below the boys roasting the marshmellows.  I think they just liked roasting the marshmellows rather than actually eating the Somore.

                                           The Cousins (,minus Reid and River). Katie, Zach, Abby with Willow, Jackson and Shane. Abby just had her wisdom teeth out so she was not a happy camper.

 Mini golf Selfies!

 katie and Auntie

 The golf course! Shane lost about 5 red balls, here he is climbing one of the structures on the golf course to find his ball. Many got stuck under the house and then he lost some in the river as well. No worries, they were still happy. Shane and Jackson were rushing ahead while Zach and Daddy played a competitive game of mini golf. Zach won (barely).

 Zach showing Shane the score card.

What trip to Ohio would be complete without a trip to Grader's Icecream. Zach and Jackson.
