Our Busy and Crazy Summer Adventures

WOODLAND PARK ZOO

We had such a great day at the zoo! Our Texan cousins came with us, and we picked another cousin up in Kirkland. (She got came home with us for the weekend!) The kids were so into all of the animals and didn't mind all of the walking at all.

The Bears were only about 10 feet away from us. Most of the kids agreed that this was the best part of the day!

The boys did really well sitting in the stroller. They got out and ran around for awhile, but it was pretty hard keeping track of so many kids!

The boys loved seeing the bears!

The lions didn't ever move, but it was still pretty cool!

5 little monkeys

The Jaguars were fighting right by the glass...we watched them for quite awhile

Taking a break by the penguins- what a fun day!!!

BIRCH BAY

We spent a lazy day by the beach last week. A bunch of Nick's family came along, and the kids played and played. Ava and Carter were captivated by all of the little creatures everywhere. They were out digging for 2 hours and never came away from the water. The twins did really well too...daddy walked them out into the water. It was really sweet. :)

There were buckets, shovels and rakes everywhere!

Little critters

Little Man taking it all in

Ava and her best buddy/cousin Johanna (They had such a fun weekend together!)

Cousin Kausten wondering what all of these crazy kids are doing! We brought this one home, of course! Ava had about 20 things that she wanted to take, but I made them narrow it down to 2. :)

Cornwall Water Park

We decided to take advantage of this amazing weather we've been having with a trip to the sprinklers! We went with our cousins from Texas. The kids all played so well (even the twins!) and the mommys got to sit and relax!

----My four silly kids having a blast!----

Brrrrr!

Miss Bella

She is such a great big sister! Weston wasn't as brave as Coleson, but she took his hand and went through with him.

Buds

Cookie Monster (Carter was feeding him a cookie and Coleson bit Carter's finger accidentally...Carter was pretty mad about that.)

Oh my

That's better. :)

Carter's poor bloody finger...he took about 5 minutes to feel sorry for himself, and then started running around again! Naughty Cole Man!

Summer is just getting started, and so are we! I can't wait for all of the adventure that the rest of the summer has in store for us!
