Be warned this is a long blog post. In June we went to Adventure Playground in Berkley with our favorite family the Holmes. They are practically family. The kids get along so well and we loved our adventures with them. The kids had a blast there and could've stayed all day. It is free to get in in and basically it is a junk yard full of wood and creations other kids have made. They had to pick up trash in order to get nails and a hammer and then they could make anything they wanted with wood they had there and saws(which was alittle scary.) It was quite the place. |
Conner and Bridger found this barrel and loved rolling down a hill in it. |
We were fortunate enough to be there for the Olympics. Which included a few relay races and they loved going down this zip line. |
Kate miss sassy. |
Conner was so excited to make this sword and the good thing is we came home with all of this fun stuff. |
Swimming lessons |
Lucky Kate and Cooper got to hang out and wait with me. |
Justin did great and loved it. |
Kate rode her scooter to swimming lessons. |
Poor kid got hungry. |
Kate did lessons that last week and loved it. I don't know how much she learned but she sure had fun. |
We had Julie with us the last week and she sure is great. We love her. |
Cooper crawling in the grass at swim lessons. |
It didn't take him long to learn how to get up on his back legs and now there is no stopping him. |
All of us venturing out to swimming lessons. Yeah! |
Our first campout of the summer |
Cooper was such a trooper and slept in the tent with us. |
We did have smores which was awesome. |
This is what my playroom looked like all summer. Kids have a sorts of fun with no cleaning and all playing at the snow's. |
Computer games were always being played except usually they are 20 kids sitting around it. I am so glad we got a bigger screen but there are still complaints about limited vision. Whatever. |
Kate and Hailey loved playing together. |
We had Shonah over to play and these girls are so cute together. Whenever you ask Kate what she wants to do she says, "go shopping with Shonah." |
Jon even taught me how to shoot it was alot of fun to do. |
Kate tried shooting. Good luck with that girl. |
David and Taylor were pros. Adventures in the Snow Yard. |
The kids made this with the Holmes. A net filled with dirt and junk a 'trap" that was suposed to fall on someone if they walked under it. Awesome. |
The Legos came out and so did the creations and bases, forts you name it. Jon made the put the smaller legos so Cooper wouldn't eat them so they spent hours building with these blocks. |
Cooper loves his stuffed giraffe so much that I found him like this one day. Precious. |
We made a fun trip to Joanne's and they all picked out something to paint. Kate loved it and wow had a blast painting. |
Conner picked this out I thought it was a sword but realized later it was a cross. Oh well he had fun painting. Baseball Games |
An awesome smile from Taylor. Jon has taken them to 5 games this year. |
We had Dallin and Jocey over for a couple days. Jocey loved Cooper and was always holding him. I went from 5 to 7 kids. Thanks to the Jensen's and Holmes we were able to get out to the park. |
The kids made bows and arrows and shot them around the yard. They actually worked and had a blast with them. |
The Camouflaged trap the kids made with the Holmes one afternoon complete with branches and all. |
Another fun afternoon spent making squirrel traps with their friends. We had them here so much that we fed them dinner 2-3 times a week. |
Mckenzie and Taylor loved walking around in Jedi robes and climbing trees. |
Hunter and Justin put dirt on their faces to camouflage themselves from the squirrels. |
How can you not love this kid and his big smile and his excitement over eating a banana? Del valle park with Hunter and the Berry's. |
Their is a fun roped off beach the kids enjoyed swimming in the last day of summer in Livermore. We took Hunter along with us. We can't have fun without the Holmes. |
Kate and Olivia soaking it up. |
It was nice they had rocks instead of sand on the beach but the boys put it in their hair just the same. |
Conner made me watch him over and over while he put his head under and swam. He is doing awesome because last year I couldn't even get him in the water. |
I let Cooper put his feet in the water and he would kick and kick and loved it and would have crawled in it and ate sand and rocks if I had let him go. |
