At The Lake....

We took the kids to the lake yesterday, we had the best time! We got a new four man tube that was tons of fun!! I got up on the knee board for the first time since my injury, it was awesome!! I was a little afraid of hurting myself so I didn't last long, but I was happy to know that I could still do it!! We even got Greg out there with the kids on the five man water wienie...

At The Zoo..

Yesterday we headed up to the zoo, it was HOT, but there was lots of shade and a little breeze so it wasn't too horrible. We had lots of fun and I took a bunch of pictures....





Riding on the caurosel...



Eating Dippin' Dots..






Jordan tried so hard to climb on the gorillas back but couldn't make it, so he had to settle for sitting on his lap...




Getting cooled off by the giant fan that blows water, awesome....




Our little turtles....





The souvenir store...

At The Pool....

Greg's cousin, Ronnie, and her two kids, Courtney and Travis are here visiting for a couple of weeks! Today we went to the pool. Morgan was attatched to Courtney most of time,it was super cute!! These are their only cousins on Greg's side of the family, it is kind of sad to me that we don't get to see them often enough. But I am glad that when we do get together the kids have tons of fun,even though there is an age gap....

Yuba With The Fam

We went to Yuba Lake this weekend with my sisters family, my Dad and one of my Brothers girls. We have been planning this trip for a few months. Camping, fishing, boating, we had the best time. It was the first trip out for our motorhome in two years, and the first time we ever pulled the boat with it....



We had fun just hanging out at camp. Grandpa brought the kids bikes and they rode around the loop and just had fun playing in the motorhome....






One of my all time favorite things to do at the lake is to ride the five man water weenie. We got all five of the kids on there, they had a blast. Jordan was a riot, wanting to go faster and over the waves....







Hanging out on the boat...







After all the sun and riding on the water weenie, Jordan was exhausted...




Playing in the mud at the beach was a favorite pass time....






This was the sunset from the beach....






This morning before we headed home we took the kids down to the beach for some fishing....




This is is Jordans tackle box. My brother gave it to him for his birthday, and when we got it out to take on this trip he opened it up and showed us all of his stuff, and told us what everything was called. We were trying so hard not to laugh at him because he hates it when we laugh. He was being so serious and matter of fact about everything, it was hilarious....




This is not a stringer, They are paper clips...



These are grappling hooks. When I asked him where he came up with that he said they look just like the grappling hooks on his Batman video game, duh Mom....



These bobbers are ballers....



These sinkers He says are just some beads...



And this is the cheese food stuff that when the fish teeth eat it they get stuck and that is how you catch a fish...



Too bad we didn't catch any, but they sure had fun...
