Super Saturday

We had the funnest afternoon on Saturday. Ray took us all to a huge hill in our area made complete out of sand. There is a ski lift to the top, a version of the Alpine Slide, a pool and a playground. You can also climb the hill. Jared and Ray opted on the ski lift with Anne and Alicia. Then they ran down the hill. You could even roll down if you wanted to. There is also a section for those who want to ski, sled or snowboard down.
Jared had to hold Alicia up so she wouldn't sink into the sand. So she was barely touching the ground as they ran down.

Both girls had so much fun going down.

Jared and Ray also took Anne and Alicia on the Alpine Slide thingy. I was worried that they would get scared but they loved it. We got pictures, but Jared needs to scan them into the computer. Sorry!

Katie couldn't get enough of the sand. The water at the playground couldn't even compare.

They had the funnest water attractions.

On the way home we stopped for dinner at a great restaurant.

They had a playground for the kids. This was the best thing while we waited for the food.

Ray was a good sport and got on the see-saw with me. I love them.

Jared and the girls fed the rabbits. I loved the tiny little babies. There were also goats and some sheep.

Katie loved her fries. She wanted one in each hand and also wouldn't let go of her bottle, so it was quite a production for her. She was surprised at the sprite I put in her bottle. That may have been why she wouldn't let go.

Look at those plates. Thanks so much Ray for a wonderful day.

Peek-a-Boo

Playing her new game with Bahnka. It is her favorite right now.

She loves to play Wii with us...as you can see. She also loves to use the Wii remotes.

He is so Talented

He even cuts hair!!!

Fashion Sense

Who has seen the old Disney movie "Happiest Millionare"? It is a favorite from my childhood. I was watching it with Anne today. They wear some interesting dresses in the movie. Like the ones where the skirt would poof out huge below the waist, then come in tight at the or below the knees. When Anne saw this she made a wonderful comparison.

Anne: Mommy, she is wearing a pumpkin dress!

We Are Mature

Jared started a pillow fight and the girls loved it. I think Gma and Gpa did too.

FHE Picnic and Creek

We found this wonderful creek/picnic area near our house and decided to spend last FHE there.
There was a fun zipline for the girls. They all loved it.

And fun things to do in the creek. Someone really worked hard to make it a special place.

This place is great for little family get togethers, especially in this severe heat we have been having.
