Special Memories at Papa and Nana's

The boys spent a few days with Papa and Nana last week. I took them and stayed a couple of days, then left them for the rest. They had a ball 'out in the country'! There is so many different things for them to do than we do at our house! These are some pictures of things they did while I was there. They even had more fun after I left!


The boys absolutely loved helping Papa at the barn and with the cows. I wish I could've been there to watch when they were helping him'round them all up' and give them all shots! Here they are at the barn getting the feed ready to bring to the cows.


I love this picture of Papa and his grandsons!


Out feeding the cows.


They did some fishing and Dylan was reeling them in! He's quite the fisherman these days!


Papa has some doves in a big cage outside. One of the babies had just hatched a few days before we got there. Papa let them go in and pet the baby dove!

Time with Papa and Nana

Nana took us to a museum there with lots of stuffed wild animals. The boys loved it- we went through it twice!


Outside the museum is a great playground. The favorite of my 3 boys is the merry-go-round!

The boys loved helping Papa & Nana pick their garden!

Camp Week

Bryce and Dylan attended a day camp at a Country Club near us. They had a blast- tennis, golf, swimming and crafts. It was from 8 to 2, so they were pretty tired by the time they got home! But they both figured out that they really want to learn tennis. They loved it!

They both love to swim. This pool had a neat climbing wall in it. So, that was something different for them!

A Day at the Waterpark

We spent a fun day yesterday at a new waterpark near us. 'Nene', Brooke and Blaire were with us and the boys & girls had so much fun together!


Brooke & Blaire, Bryce, Dylan & Cayden


Bryce loved doing the big slides with his cousins! He was just tall enough to get on, so he was very excited to get to go with them!


Dylan coming out of the train slide.


Dylan & Cayden enjoyed sliding down the train slide. Dylan isn't tall enough for the big slides, so he had to settle for this!


We all enjoyed riding in the 'lazy river'. Here Nene is giving Cayden a ride in the tube!

July 4th at the Timms

We spent an extended weekend with the Timm's in New Hampshire. We had a wonderful time. The weather was awesome. They actually kept their windows open and screen doors open and it was comfortable! They had lots of things planned for us to do. We did alot of swimming and went on a 'hike' where there were alot of caves and the boys really enjoyed going through those. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera that day.


Cayden, Aidan, Dylan, Ethan and Bryce in their matching shirts Lindi got them. We were on our way to watch fireworks on July 4th evening.


Cayden started out the fireworks show with his hands over his ears! So, I ended up taking him inside their house for most of it and we watched through the windows!


One day we went to a beach area at a lake nearby. Of course the 5 boys enjoyed their time there together!

The boys loved making their sand creations.
