CA Trip: Lego Land and Aquarium

We spent Monday at an Aquarium and Lego Land. The boys went crazy over all the fish at the Aquarium. TJ didn't want to go into the shark area at first but gained a little confidence holding dad's hand. The boys loved Lego Land (especally the Star Wars Lego sculptures).

CA Trip: Local community water park

We enjoyed what seemed to be a water themed trip to California this past week. We started the week off with a visit to a local community water park. The boys loved running through the water structures. They got plenty of sun while we were there.

They also got a little tired and wanted to lie out with Dad

The Show

July 4th parade

This year our neighborhood put on a fourth of July parade/carnival for the kids. A bunch of our friends got together at the Williams' house to decorate our bikes and helmets before the parade started. The boys were in the front together at the start, and then ended up at the end by the second time around the neighborhood. After the parade the kids enjoyed a carnival where the fire department showed off one of their trucks and the kids got their face painted and made balloon creatures.

The fire truck couldn't stay long because they got a call about 10 minutes after they arrieved

Thanks Grandma Andrea for the Bat Man capes. They added to the outfits.

Go TJ GO!

Swim Cousins

Aunt Jena and Uncle Carson came down for the holiday weekend. We got together with Christian and Heather for a BBQ and swim party. The cousins loved playing in the pool together. Jena brought down her fancy camera and got some great photos of the weekend.

We're ready is to go

Looks like a belly flop

All warm and dry
