Summer Catch Up Part 2 - The Activities

Here are some of the things that kept us busy this summer, kept us cool this summer, and kept us (Me) from blogging this summer.

While Cameron and I were in Ohio this June Gregg and the boys got to go to the Air Force Base in Fresno to watch Gregg's brother Jeff fly. He is a F-16 Pilot. It was apparently very hot and the boys look unhappy in some of the photos, but they LOVED it. I got quite an earful from them about how cool it was.

Hot, but having fun.

The kids spent a lot of time on the Slip 'n' Slide this summer, (or near the Slip 'n' Slide in Cammie's case.)

Like the true "red necks" we are at heart, most evenings ended with the kids playing in the sprinklers...

...in their underwear...

.... in the front yard...

...and the baby usually ended up naked, okay they all usually ended up naked. Like I said "Red Necks"!

We are really into FREE entertainment, so we made lots of trips to the bookstore for Story Time.

And who needs a Zoo? I just take my kids to the Pet Store.

Kyle was in a "make a funny face and see what it looks like on camera" mood one day. Carter was just being weird! They both make me laugh!

On mornings that it wasn't too hot, and by that I mean still under 100 degrees at 10:30 AM, we'd go to the park for a while.

Courtney and Ashley stayed with us a couple of times this summer which was great. On one of their trips we went to the Bug Museum. It was pretty cool, and did I mention free? Cammie actually seemed to like it the most.

Yep, that's her trying to figure out how to get the giant Hissing Cockroaches out so she could hold one. Sometimes I don't think she's really my daughter. I feel all itchy just looking at this picture. (No joke I can't stop itching, yuck!)
Lucky for me Courtney and Ashley had no problem lifting the kids up so they could get close to all the nasty bugs I didn't care for.

Of course we also spent time with Matt, Mandy, Macy, and the babies. I only managed to get one picture of them though. Having a picnic lunch after spending the morning in the pool.

This summer was fun, hot, and busy, and we enjoyed every minute of it!
