A day on the Slip n Slide

The pool we joined wasn't open today, so we pulled out our slip n slide. With four boys, fun can be created at any moment, so Hunter, Luke, Blake, and Hayden enjoyed a few hours of their own games. Luke brings out the cd player and keeps the music playing, and I'm always sure to provide the snacks and drinks. It was a beautiful day to slide away all our harsh winter months!!

Trampoline Fun

Yahooooo!! Our latest "toy" for the boys after many, many years without a playset, is this awesome trampoline. We purchased it in April. It's a double bounce, so a little safer and better on the joints (good for the old folks like Jeff and me!). There's a basketball hoop that we all love trying to slam dunk like Lebron James. All the boys try their hand at flips and tricks. Blake is here in the picture below. He is a little acrobat, doing fun stunts. We feel better that they took a gymnastics class before trying things on the trampoline. It's a great workout, and a great way to wear four boys out during the day! Even I tried a flip, and I've gotten better, although my body isn't too sure!!

Someone Ate my Socks

Hee hee hee...what happened to my socks, Jeff wonders? Luke received a gift from his cousins in California for his birthday--Geodes! You need to put the rocks in a sock or something while you pound the living daylights out of the rock--or that's what we did!! Inside are crystals and crystal-like rocks. We decided (really I did) to wash the socks and put them back in Jeff's drawer. We had to prompt him to look after 3 weeks of waiting for him to choose these socks. It was really funny even though we had to set the stage. These were old socks, but now not even Cole, our dog, will play with them!!
