Summer Fun

This Summer we did lots of fun things. We went to a few Baseball Games. Chance got a couple of game balls and Jack actually caught a foul ball and won us a Free Dinner!
We brought one of Chance's friends with us one evening. We got to see a last minute Bases Loaded, Walk off Homerun - to win the Game!!

Pretty exciting!

This was Fourth of July celebration
$1 Hotdogs and Fireworks - does it get any better?

We also got a new game called "Dance Revolution".

It's hysterical to watch!

Trust me - if I knew how to put video into a blog, you'd be dying laughing right now.

The kids did plenty of swimming, too! Chance can do all kinds of crazy tricks off the diving board. Of course I don't have any pictures of that.

This is the look I got when I said

"Chance, guess what - school starts next week!"

"Turtle Surfing" & More!

The kids got to go on this overnight camp-out at a Safari! They actually stayed in tents IN the Safari!Doesn't Kadi look thrilled?
This is called "Turtle Surfing!"
The turtles actually crawl around and the kids try to stay on ..... weird.
I don't know why I don't have pictures of Chance - he was there, I promise. He was probably off trying to get in and ride THESE guys:


"Safari Jack"

He just kills me.

Chase turns Double Digits!

Chase had her first big "Slumber Party" for her tenth Birthday!
She made out like a bandit!
This was a big hit - a Nintendo DS in Pearlized Pink ..... spoiled rotten...
We made crafts of course - we're girls aren't we? We made these spiffy Pool Flip Flops & Pool Bags. Afterwards, they all went swimming at the neighborhood pool with them!
Cute, aren't they?

(No, the floor is not dirty - we just don't have any flooring right now - so that is the house's foundation - just ignore it, that's what I try to do.)
Then we had a yummy cook-out. Jack made burgers because the girls say "Mr. Jack makes the BEST burgers EVER!"
Lots of good "Girl Bonding!"
And, of course - making s'mores! Girls gotta have chocolate, don't they?

Good CLEAN fun!

Oh - my gosh! School is about to start again, and I haven't even shown you guys the pictures of the Last Day of School! Eek! Anyway, here goes!

As you know, the kids walk home from school & stop at our neighborhood park right by our house. Well, it is a neighborhood tradition that on the last day of school, everyone brings shaving cream and the kids have at it! Pretty Funny!
