Wild Waves

The KCLS reading program had Wild Waves tickets if kids read 500 minutes. The boys did a great job at the beginning of the summer so we were able to get them. 

I also talked my dad into going with us and thankfully we found a time Zephyr could come too.  So that meant Uncle Jason and Sean were there.  We had the perfect child to adult ratio.  

The older kids went with Sean & Jason and Papa Bob went with me, Darby & Bo. 

We hit up the water slides first. 

 

Around 2:00 we went back to the car to grab some lunch. 

After lunch we went to check out the rides. 

Darby & Bo were too small for a lot of them but they still enjoyed some. 

The older boys loved the roller coasters. 

Getting on some classic Enchanted Village rides.  I'm sure I have a picture of me on these rides. 

Sean, Colt & Zephyr. 

The great thing about having Zephyr is he is fearless.  Then he convinces my boys to try it out too. 

They were all nervous about this ride but ended up loving it. 

We ended our day around 5:00 then went back to Papa Bob's house.  It was a fun day for the kids and a tiring day for us adults.  Adulting is hard!

LeBron James

On our drive to Orcas Island, Ollie & Colt were doing some goofy videos. I'm not sure where they got this from but it's pretty cute. And the best part is that it kept them entertained for part of the drive. 

Lockers & ASB

Brody had LYNX day last week. It is basically a day to take care of paperwork, get your ASB card and try to figure out how the locker combination works.  It was nice to have this one on one time with him as he gets ready for this new stage of life.  He was a little nervous that he wouldn't know anyone but he quickly realized that he knew a lot of people.  We know he will do a great job in middle school. 

Bacon Lover's Day

We learned that August 20 is Bacon Lover's Day. 

A great day for a birthday!  

Colt asked for a friend birthday party and at the very last minute we planned one.  Thankfully some of his friends were able to join us.  And I hardly planned a thing.  

I basically had pizza and cupcakes for them.  The rest of the time they just played. 

We went to The Habit Burger Grill for dinner. 

Then we finished off the birthday watching some  TV together. 

Happy 10th birthday Colt the Bolt! 

Colt's Camping Party

We had Colt's birthday party at Tinkham.  We had a lot of people come to the party. 

Zephyr, Abi, Andrew, Uncle Brian, Aunt Angie, Uncle Jason, Papa Bob, Grandma Shari, Fafa & Grammy. 

We are so thankful they made the trip up to celebrate this 10 year old! 

It was a great weekend of camping. 

Tinkham

We chose Tinkham campground again for Colt's birthday weekend. We went up Thursday night to make sure we could get a spot. 

Thankfully Zephyr joined us Friday morning and Abi & Andrew (Brian & Angie) joined us Friday evening.   We had a lot of fun camping. 

 

Brad did some gold panning down by the river. 

Bo, Colt, Darby & Ollie tried some too.
