july 29, 2015

we spent most of the day in the pool. it was a HOT one!! grandma and grandpa came to swim. the kids were having a blast riding grandpa around in the pool. after a swim break, the kids decided it would be great to go swimming naked. they thought it was hilarious to stick their butts into the air out of the pool. 








we had grandpa gary over for dinner and then roro and papa stopped by. malloy brought out the grandparents questions game and asked them questions about their childhood. it was great to get to know so much about their past! can't wait to ask more questions another time!!! love surprise visits!

how do you sleep with a hand in the air??

camping at the ridge 2015

both kids counted the money in their piggy banks. they had a lot more than i thought!!! malloy was sorting her money by presidents. she's something else! 


 grandpa don gave the kids cash for their coins. they quickly spent the money on some new toys. rex bought mixel legos and loved putting them together!!!

time to pack for camping! i made each kid a list and they got right to it! malloy said "it's like a scavenger hunt but with clothes!" 



 all packed up and ready to go!

 grandpa and grandma rented a golf cart! woohoo!






daddy found a toad


 our camp neighbor gave us glow sticks!!! it was so much fun  and they doubled as nightlights!






it rained a little in the morning and was threatening to rain more so we moved under the pavilion for breakfast. grandma colored with the kids and rex counted rocks while daddy cooked breakfast.





grandma drew us all camping

 waiting for the pool to re-open after someone pooped in it. neal to the rescue! he bought the kids sno-cones.

 malloy "challenged" rex to write his site words. he loves a challenge! but quickly realized that he was working...





i looked up recipes and had the kids vote on which one they wanted. they chose teriyaki meatballs. it was a new recipe and an absolute winner!!! so so yummy!!!
