Fun in the sun

We all love to be outside. If we didn't get too hot and didn't have to worry about the sun then we would probably spend all day everyday outside. (Well, actually Matt would spend all day every day in front of the TV playing X-Box if I would allow it.)

Yesterday we spent quite a bit of time out at my mom's house. My mom and Dean will be taking Felicia back to Texas this weekend and we wanted to be able to spend some time with her before they left. While we were there we played games, we went for a wagon ride (with Felicia driving the tractor) and we played in the water. We took one of our sprinklers out to play with and Felicia and Alysa had water balloons. They also were shooting some paintballs, but not much. There wasn't much CO2.

The wagon ride was pretty fun. It was the girls' first time riding in the wagon behind the tractor. They seemed to enjoy it, G1 of course loved it. He loves tractors and being outside.

In this picture of our family, G3 is on the left and G2 is on the right.

We also got to see what G2 would look like if she had hair. It was pretty funny. We would have put a wig on G3 also but she was sleeping. Oh, and G3 learned how to play pool. Or he at least learned how to play to benefit him. He stands up on the table and puts the balls in that way. He was also dancing on the pool table for a little bit.

We had a pretty fun day/evening. I wish we were able to spend more time with Felicia. G3 really likes her; we all do.

The water isn't really splashing G2 in the face, but I thought this was cute because it looks like it is.

Every Thursday we get together with some of the other kids from church (and their moms and sometimes dads) at one of the local parks. It's kind of nice to get some adult interaction and for G1 to have some time to play with kids his own age. Well, today it was just us and 1 other mom and her 3 kids. She has a boy just older than G1 (so he would be 2), a boy that is 4 and a little girl just younger than my girls (just over 6 months). Normally there are at least a few more moms there with their kids. But that was okay. It got hot pretty fast so we didn't stay too long, and neither did the other mom. I did manage to get a video of my 3 swinging though. (I'm not getting it to upload right now, so I will have to try again later. Sorry.) Now they are all taking what I hope to be nice long naps.
