School's Out for Summer!

Taking off to school for the last day.

Carson's 1st grade teacher.

1st day of summer-off running errands with Mom.

Then OMSI for some fun!

Cool exhibition at OMSI.

Last days of summer

Drying off from splashing around in the fountains at a local park.

Caron's hieroglyphics?

Gavin's painting for Mommy.  :)

Carson & Drew having fun at their last summer swim lesson.

Gavin & Ben listening during their life jacket lesson.

Ben's flying high, in and out of the water with his swim instructor at the last class of the season.

Testing out a new picture size.  Thinking I might start posting larger pictures from now on.  I tried the X-Large, but they were cut off, so it's down to Large.  Better than the Medium size I previously used.  I'll play around with formatting so I can make the pictures all X-Large.  I think that's the way to go from now on.  :)

Seeing Double

Our twins club party was at a huge park that included this fun water feature.  Can you spot the twins?

Swim lessons

A yurting we did go

 

Showing me his adult tooth coming in behind his baby tooth.

 

Despite early morning fog horns, late night low airplane buzzing, and paper loving crows, our three night yurting experience at the coast was a blast!  With seven active little boys and six exhausted parents, we all managed to relax a bit and keep the kiddos happy with s'mores, beach visits, rest time movies, and Junior Ranger gatherings.

Fireworks!

Celebrated the 4th of July at Grandma & Grandpa S.'s house.  We sat out with neighbors while they did some fireworks in the road and watched the other neighbors let off a bunch of huge fireworks!

The boys snuggled (and kicked and took awhile getting settled down) in Grandma's feather bed.  :)

Berry Picking

On a day that Emily was up to help for the day, we decided to try our hands at berry picking. Unfortunately, due to the heat wave in the previous week/days, many of the berries were partially burned and dried, but we managed to find a few to take home and eat.
