Memorial Day at the K

Here is Carson, getting ready for today's game against the A's.
My Boys.
My boys again, looking awfully serious...either that or the sun is in their eyes.
"Uncle Greg" aka Keith's cousin, and Davis apparently picking on his brother.
Keith and Greg. They are like giddy school girls when they get together.
I am going to assume (and hope) that this is Davis taking pictures now.
Or Greg pretending it is Davis and taking a bad one of himself? One can't be too sure.
Getting ready to RUN. Unless there is a Popsicle at the end of this thing my kid ain't gonna move very fast....just sayin'.
And, here is Carson. Yes, the one without the shirt. Doesn't everyone get naked and play in the water at a baseball game?
This kid hates to wear clothes. Thankfully he stopped at his shirt....this time...

The afternoon of baseball was followed up by a trip to Dick's to get Davis his first baseball mitt, practice starts this week! Then that was followed up by a little 2.5-3 hour trip to the pool. Let's just say there was no fighting bedtime tonight!

These kids, and these parents, are done. Good night!

SITC2

Pretend I am here by Shannon.

It was a fun night at the movies. A few of us (18?) got tickets in the cinema suites (the ones with the really noisy recliners) and waiters. It is kind of like flying first class...you really don't know what you are missing until you get to do it and then going back to coach is a bit of a bummer.

It was a great movie too. Then again given the time to blow I would watch the whole series beginning to end and both movies over again!

To Jiggle or to Jam?

A little bouncy action.
Followed by a little Stinky Feet. I liked that Mr. Stinky feet made the parents get up and do the animal motions this time! Nice touch.
Harper loving on Davis.


The boys loving on the shaved ice. The food is really why we go to these things isn't it?
Carson feeding Harper his ice. She didn't like it at all, but kept coming back for more.
Ms. Genevieve! What is a summer without a little Choo Choo Soul. I do kind of wish we had made it down yesterday to see the Jimmies...but there are only so many hours in the day.

And the real reason we go to Jiggle Jam--the sprinklers. Always a hit!



Then a random tractor pulled ride in the middle of a blocked off street near Crown Center. The kids loved it. I don't get the attraction, but Davis insisted Carson ride with him. Pretty cute how he put his arm around him the whole way!

Balloonfest 2010

We heard about this "little" hot air balloon thing going on in Gardner so we decided to check it out. We heard there would be about 500 or so people there. Um, not so much. There were about 7000 people there and it was bananas. The kids had a blast. You got very up close and personal with the balloons. In fact, I only have my reg lens on my camera--no zoom.




And this one went right over me.

Trying to take a picture of H but she keeps wanting to play peek a boo.
Carson is busy riding in the stroller, he is about to crash! Maybe the day at the pool did him in?
She was a giggle box tonight.
And as it got dark the balloons were inflated. When it gets dark out they glow and light up the field. Pretty cool. We will miss the full dark effect b/c the kids...well they need to go to bed, and us...we should too really...

Waterstock.

7 hours. Yes, 7 hours of water sliding madness. Keith came home and asked if we had Woodstock in our back yard. I was burnt and beat and ready for bed when he got home from work. Who knew the first day of summer break would kick my ass. It so did. I wonder if we will rest at all this summer...man they have a lot of energy. I also wonder if this water slide will make it all summer long or not...I am going to have to take up a neighborhood collection for a new one if this goes south.
