Monkeying Around

Taking the Dogs to the Park

We walked the dogs to the school playground. Primrose was so excited that she tied up Noah several times. And Prim truly embraced the playground. Ali would have none of it. Lucas was quite upset that Ali would not follow Prim's example. But I was shocked that Ali would even get on the rubber mulch. Thought Dad would like the pic of Prim on the bridge.

Are we taking good care of your Dogs?

Mom and Dad, the boys and I wanted to show you how the dogs were doing. So, that you could see that they were taking good care of Primrose and Ali. Ali is the most apprehensive, but Primrose seems to be oblivious.

Music under the Stars

I took the boys to the Music under the Stars FREE (YEAH!) concert at Town Center Plaza last night. They have activities for kids, bounce houses, face painting, balloon artist, and GREAT music. Lucas got his face paint done before they finished blowing up the bounce house and obstacle course. Noah and Eli wanted to wait till the line was shorter. Unfortunately, that NEVER happened. The older two got in line to get their face painted around a quarter till 8pm. I got in the balloon line w/Lucas about the same time. I was hoping that they would finish up first and they be able to join me to tell the balloon artist what they wanted. Noah gave up after waiting for almost an hour and decided he wanted ice cream and to sit down. My friend Brooke, who was 4 people ahead of me, gave up and took her two kids to the bounce house at about the same time. I still waited in line for 1 hr and 15min. But Eli won the prize for the patience of Job b/c he waited for almost 2hrs before he finally got to get his face painted like Venom. (Lucas picked a red snake going through his body) They did a great job. But all the boys agreed next time, we will show up early again-but this time they will get the balloon and face painting first (when the line was only about 10min).

Lucas's Balloon Guitar

After waiting in line (well I waited for him) for 1 hr and 15min. Lucas rocked out on his guitar. W/in 5min, it was popped. And it was very hard not to laugh. But the nice balloon man fixed it after he was done w/ the kids that waited equally as long.

Eli's face painting

Eli's patience pays off

Eli waited in a very long line for his face painting. I waited in the balloon line w/Lucas and got Eli his black and orange (school colors) monkey. Which seemed to be the animal of choice.

Crafts

The craft project for the night was coloring your own puzzle. Noah and Lucas went for the abstract and colored each piece a different color. While Eli did a volcanoe puzzle. Several of the markers leaked. So it was FUN. Although, the boys did not like the leaky ones and kept asking for a wet wipe.

Haven't posted in a while. I couldn't find my loading dock after being a Mom's for VBS. Anyway, I have downloaded all my pics. So, I am caught up for now. Gotta mow the lawn. Love you All.

Vacation Bible School

The boys had a blast at VBS June 23-27th. The theme was Power Lab. They had sciene experiements and made slime. Yeah! I was in charge of rotating a group of 4-5 year olds, so I didn't get to take pics of the boys having a blast. We had to be there at 5:30pm to start checking in our group, so the boys ate once we got there. They feed Mom and I which was nice. Mom missed me dearly on Friday night when I had to go to work. It was a long week, but well worth it.

Birthday Party at Zonkers

My friend Brooke had her son's 3rd B-day party at Zonkers. The kids had a blast. They looked like they had taken a shower by the time the playtime was over. I wonder how many calories they burned.

Mini Golf

After the go carts, we went golfing. Sorry Uncle Fred, they would not have made your proud. Laugh definately. We stopped counting when they were over 15 for the hole. And we did NOT keep score. No Tiger Woods in their future. Well, maybe they will be super smart or awesome in another sport. Andrew stop laughing!!!!!! We had fun, and they were good sports.

Go Carts

I took the older boys go carting and miniature golfing when Lucas and Nana had their adventure. Noah only spun out once (pheww!) But Eli was all over the road. In the bottom picture, Eli is in the yellow and Noah in the green.

Worlds of Fun- Camp Snoopy

We spent some time at camp snoopy so that Lucas could ride the rides for his height. The older boys found the playhouse. Which was a giant room w/nerf balls and lot of launchers. They had pretty good aim. I got distracted from picture taking, when Eli and I tried to team up on Andrew. Unfortunately, he moves fast and stayed out of range. Jordan and Noah however wandered into range. And that made up for not being able to get Andrew.

Worlds of Fun- CARS

Bumper cars and More! Our future drivers. I think w/ the gas prices, I will be preparing the boys that bicycles are going to be the transportation of the future. I know I would sleep better at night.

Worlds of Fun

Eli, Scott and I are on the one on the left. Jordan and Noah are on the one on the right. Roller coasters are completely different when your children get on them. It is a new kind of SCARY!

Worlds of Fun-Waiting in Line

Just got done riding the Timber Wolf. I think they rode it like 3 times. (except Lucas-he wasn't tall enough or brave enough)

The birthday boy

Eli just finished reading a card from Papa. And he is NOT excited about starting 2nd grade next year. LOL!
