Fun Times Three

Three great days, with two slow-paced days between. Three great kids to share some adventures with. And this is what you get...

Monday
Zoo day with friends! When Angela told me you could buy a stick with bird seed on it for $2 I was a little skeptical that it would be worth it, but it WAS! So worth it, in fact, that I bought a second stick. Thanks Angela, Alayna and Carissa for inviting us along for Zoo Day!

Two out of five children did not want their picture taken. Guess which ones.

Neither was willing to get down so they managed to pass, amazing!


Wednesday
Fortier family lunch at the office with Dad and Uncle Todd.
Then the Fortier gang storms the pool and spends a few hours with Grandma and Grandpa.

David sharing his turkey sandwich with E. Shelly was NOT willing to share her lunch.







Friday
We kept hearing about the heat wave that was coming so we planned to go to the fountain downtown, but when it was only 75 at noon, with 50 mph winds, I decided we'd all get cold if we went to the fountain to get wet. So we went Geocaching instead. If you haven't heard of it, its when you put GPS coordinates into your GPS device and follow the trail till you find the prize. Three attempts, three strikes, we were out. Tired, hot (the temps finally started rising around 4:00) and hungry (4:00 and we hadn't eaten for a couple of hours, the kiddies were STARVING!). We gave up and came home.
Archer announced, "There's a treasure in this pile, we just have to find it!"


Eli is just along for the ride, he's happy with whatever it is as long as he gets to come!

"Archer this is a MAGIC stick!"

I threatened to leave him behind but he climbed over the gate. He's not so easy to lock up!

There are so many times that I have this exact picture in front of me, the two of them leading the way. And just when I thought I was in charge, I think to myself, "What adventure will they lead me into today?"
