Even More Fun!

On Saturday we went to Dad's work party.  There was an AWESOME ropes course there and we did tons of stuff.

Here are the ladders that Adley and Nathanael had to teamwork to the top.  Jeremiah decided he didn't want to go, so Dave did it by himself.

Here is Adley ziplineing over mom's head.

Here is Nathanael climbing the super tree to zipline.

Adley finally got his Christmas present on the wall.  He's had the football flags - now he has a felt wall to display them and move them around (velcro) as the Sunday football games approach. 

Monday was a fun Solar Eclipse day - we had 70% coverage.

Here is our space observation station.

And a pic.  What a fun day!

Love,

Birthday Party Fun!

I was going to go for a Mario Birthday - I had my cupcake mushrooms all picked out.  However, once at the Party Store I found a football section and changed my mind.  We had an Atlanta Falcons party!  Mom said she didn't really like how her falcon logo's came out on the cupcakes, but I liked them a lot.

I had my party at the pool.  We had pizza.

We swam a lot.

And had cake and ice cream.  I had a super fun day.

Thanks for all the birthday fun!

Love,

Adley

Summer Fun!

Wow, it's been a while since our last post - but we've been having a blast.

Hiking a mountain with friends.

We had a fun week of VBS!

We had a super trip up to Isle La Motte with Memere & Papa King and the aunts uncles and cousins.  What a blast.  We drove up Friday late afternoon.  Saturday morning was the International Duct Tape Regatta.  Check out Adley's boat.  He did awesome.  It was quite tippy but he managed to keep it afloat 3/4 of the way then dragged it the rest to finish.

The rest of vacation was swimming, biking, fishing and fun.  

Then Monday Adley turned 11!!!!

He had swimming lessons in the morning, and his swimming class sang happy birthday to him while treading water in the 10 feet dive well.  He got a fishing pole for his birthday and was so excited.  Dave was home for the day since our hot water heater died while on vacation and leaked a fair amount of water in the basement, so he was home installing the new one.  (We're good with hot water now.)  Nathanael was so excited about fishing he asked mom to take him to Walmart to buy him a pole with his extra birthday money.  

We went to fish in the pond.  

The boys found worms in the back yard.  But, the hooks were too big for the fish in the pond and the worms were a bit small for sticking on the hook, but a fun time was had practicing casting. 

Happy Birthday Adley!

Double Fun Day!

We took a fun trip to the zoo in Providence RI, and while in Prov., after lunch - why not check out the children's museum.

A photo on a camel.

Jeremiah's favorite goat from the petting zoo.

Jeremiah's favorite black alpaca.

How about an elephant photo.

A little splash time.

Some kind of camel pose.

Remember this one?  (Now we're at the Providence Children's Museum)

Ahoy Matties! 

We LOVED climbing this!

Water - vortex time!

Planning water fun waterfalls.

What a suprisingly lenghty fun day today.

Time to relax.

Love,

The adventurers. 

Chelmsford Flood Watch!

Nothing we've not seen before - but the most deep yet.

So deep we felt we needed boogie boards.

Annual Doctors. Appointments!

Nathanael and Jeremiah had their appointments today.

Nathanael was 54 3/4 inches tall (76th %), and 70 lbs. (69th %) - he grew 2 inches and 9 lbs. this year.  He is 4 lbs. heavier and 3/4 inches taller than Adley was at 9.

Jeremiah was 48 inches tall (83rd %) and 52 lbs (78th %) - he grew 2 inches and 4 lbs.
He is 4 lbs. heavier than Nathanael at 6, and 5 lbs. heavier than Adley at 6.  He is 1 inch shorter than Nathanael and Adley at 6.

Wow, I figured Nathanael would be lighter than Adley all the time, and Jeremiah would beat all their scores continuously. :)

Love,
The growing boys!

FUN, 4th of July weekend!

The events started at Taunte Lou's party with bounce houses and buddies to play with.  It was rainy and cool, but we played so much and had so much fun it didn't matter.  The rain stopped in the early evening, and we kept playing.  It was a blast.  Then off to Memere's and Papa King's to sleep.  Sunday was fun in the pool and playing ball outside.  Then after lunch we were off to cousins house.  In NY we played at the house with the cousins, then we got to see the Island - where they are living for the summer, and got a tour.  So cool.  We had planned to go to the Island on Monday for more fun, but all us boys had a stomach bug that night, so Monday was recoup day.  We took easy walks, played games, and watched movies.  The 4th of July we hiked Severance - quite a tradition.

Then we had a BBQ in the cousins backyard.  We walked into town for the 4th of July parade.  There was TONS of candy.  None of us had bags, so we had to walk home with candy in our shirts like a pouch - we all had babies in our bellies.  Then we had a snack before going out on the boat to watch the fireworks.  What a good show.  Then back to bed.  Wednesday morning we went to the beach with the cousins, had a snacky lunch at their house then rode home.  So much fun!!!

Love,

The busy buddies
