I never finished blogging all of our vacation photos, and the children have been asking for them, so I’m going to try to get them up. My mom had gotten all of the children bubble wands and we broke them out on a windy evening. They had so much fun with them. […]
I have a few random photos leftover from the air show, so I thought I’d post them all here. Hewitt and me admiring the corvettes: Greyden all scrunched into the stroller and watching the airplanes: Emery getting a video: Colter: Indigo and Grandma: Grandma watching the planes: Me and my baby brother: Hewitt resting in […]
During the air show, one of my nephews got upset about something (I think it was a quarrel over the soccer ball). He decided to walk off. I sent Greyden after him to go check on him. A little while later Emery joined them and I stopped paying attention. When I looked back over there […]
We have a friend who flew the KC-10 for the Air Force. So we decided to go and check it out. First, we all crammed into the cockpit: Then we each got to be the pilot: The children are all now talking about becoming pilots. I told them they were going to have to […]
Once we had base camp set up, it was time to go check out the air show stuff. So off we headed: And we found the jumpy things: It was a lot of fun until Indigo got hurt: So we gathered everyone together: And walked over to the planes: First we walked through […]
Don’t all little boys run around barefoot in the backyard and fly their kites with their goats?
Greyden’s zone is the kitchen sink area. He is responsible for washing all the big dishes. Yep, all the pots and pans and everything (except the milk pails – Cole and Emery each have to do their own). He’s also responsible for loading and unloading the dishwasher. Which happens about twice a day at our […]
It’s time for the beach!! First priority, suntan lotion: Once everyone is covered, it’s time to head to the ocean. Here are a couple of shots of Colter enjoying the sand and sun: And then a shot of Colter not enjoying the sand in his face (which was his own fault for doing pushups on […]
Yesterday, Jim was pushing us to finish our work early so we could have a family surprise. What was our surprise? The Charlestown Hot Air Balloon Glow. It was a hot, muggy evening with no breeze. (On a side note, we used our bug off lotion stick b/c the bugs were awful and they worked […]
Our last night at Disney, we had dinner at the Liberty Tree Tavern. They normally don’t have character dining, but since the Crystal Palace is being renovated, they moved the characters to the Liberty Tree. So we got to share our dinner with some good friends: Mom and Dad’s favorite part was that the […]
Swimming is always a highlight of our Florida vacations. Here Brett is trying to explain to the girls that it is too cold for them to swim: The older children all had a great time: Hewitt put on a brave face despite the fact that he wasn’t swimming: Jade – not so brave a […]
We were having dinner at Boma’s restaurant one night. I was very excited about it because it was an African buffet style restaurant and I couldn’t wait to try some of the food that I’d heard about from our African friends. Boma’s is located at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, so Indigo and Jade decided they […]
During dinner last night, I asked the children why we celebrated Easter. When I ask questions like this, I always start with the youngest and go up. Mom: “So, why do we celebrate Easter?” Jade: “Cause we make soap” Indigo: “Cause we make lots of soap” Hewitt: “Cause we make soap and sell it to […]
Colter is the serious one. Greyden’s… not:
Norway (in Epcot) had a little ride and a movie about the country. Afterwards they let you out through their gift shop. Hmmmm…. not sure that was a great idea: Do you know what it took to get the children to put down those weapons? Especially Jade:
