Water Park Mania

Wow, two blogs in one week...you guys must think I've gone crazy...truth is, Greg is in Seattle watching the Brazil versus Canada soccer game (lucky guy), the kids are in bed, and there is nothing on TV. So, what else could I do?

Well, the other day....when it was warm (not like today) the boys and I met up with Cindi and her kids at the Mission Water Park. It was a great time had by all.

I think it is fair to say that the kids spent more time on the blanket "Snacking" then they did actually playing in the water....well, mine did anyways. Here they are after munching on some snacks...Noah was probably eating Auntie Cindi's snacks since mine weren't good enough. But do note that we brought almost the same food...I guess hers just tastes better! Thanks for sharing.

The kids....well Olivia anyways....eventually made it into the water. Noah isn't really in the water but Olivia is. Poor Olivia, she waited in the cold water for Noah to come and stand with her under the rainbow for about 2 minutes but Noah preferred to stay dry. Noah eventually made it through the rainbow, but only when Auntie Cindi went with him.

Isaiah liked hanging out in the train engine....eventually the sprinklers inside the train engine came on and that was the end of hanging out in the train. Poor guy got trapped inside and soaking wet! Not a fond memory of the Water Park.

I had to post this picture because it is typical of Noah and Sabrina. When they are together they tend to always be with each other. Too cute!

The day ended with a group shot in front of the Water Park. We had a great time. Thanks Reids for coming with us...we'll have to bring the Dad's next time!

The Past 2 Months

So, I have been told that I really need to update our blog. I must say, we are very boring people. Other than Greg's soccer, football, and work, not much happens around here so there really isn't much to write. Oh well, here are a few photos from the past couple of months.

Isaiah enjoys "hanging out" at Noah's gymnastics classes. The gymnastics teacher was so impressed with Noah's gymnastics / athletic skills that she wanted to move him into the 5-7 year old class. After much debate we left him in the 3-5 year old class and he's having fun...it isn't very challenging for him but it's fun and he's learning to be around kids he doesn't know! Isaiah can't wait to get out there and start joining in.
Greg went to the last ever Seattle Supersonics game in March and before he left with Tyler Noah and Isaiah decided they should model their shoes. Not much walking went on since they were like skis on the kids! Noah figured he'd wear his Seattle Seahawks shirt for the occasion.
A few weeks ago we headed up to Summerland to visit my parents. We did a lot. We went to Grandma's work to look at the big loaders, diggers, and dump trucks. We went to Summerland Sweets for Ice Cream and candies, we walked into town and went to Penny Lane, we played on the playground, we even had donuts. One day Noah found these earmuffs and wore them everywhere, even when Grandpa took him for a ride on the ATV. Isaiah got to go for a ride too and he really enjoyed his first trip....to the end of the driveway and back!
One afternoon it got really windy and Noah tried to fly his kite....no such luck! So, we broke out the golf clubs instead. I'm hoping one day Isaiah can make it big as Tiger Woods caddy! As usual my dad had the putting green in tip-top shape, Noah only took a few chunks out of the lawn.
The other day Greg and I took the kids to Mill Lake. Noah rode his bike all around the lake and it was then that we realized his 12" bike was just too small. So, on Sunday they had a great sale on 16" bikes....so we got him one. Here he is riding his new bike! Pretty fancy!

Well, that's about it from us! The kids are doing great, Isaiah has recovered from his sprained ankle! Hope whoever reads this enjoys the pictures and I promise to add more soon! We've decided to take up camping this year....I've never been but Greg says it's fun. So, I'm sure you'll soon see pictures of camping, our vegetable garden, trips to Mill Lake, and all the other fun stuff we plan to do...even Dinotown!
