Lake time!

The kids want to do fun outdoor adventures, as do I! I want my kids to love the outdoors --》instead of being couch potatoes!  ;) so i have learned that most of the time these adventures have to be done without Reed!  This is one of those times! 

To quickly summarize this high energy outing,  please read below.

This adventure consisted of a cooler full of drinks and some snacks; someone begging her sister to join, a Huge group of individuals finding a dead Beaver (who lived a full life), a kayaking portal (pick-up) & a 'huge beachball rescue for the 4th time' ( so grateful for a Levi and Emma, sigh).

Adventure Highlights:
The road to the lake has allot of 'tummy tickling' bumps,  seeing a beaver's tail, seeing 3 kayakers up close,  fearless Kalaya swimming in that 'murky' water, brave Emma and Levi keeping track of ' that oversized ball (a miracle)!

*I am so thankful for these fun kids in my life. Yes there were a couple stressful moments,  but everyone is alive and fully bathed now!  ;)

Hahaha =)

Bayden's Birthday 5/13

We had a fun time climbing the 'Hole in the Rock' by the Phoenix Zoo.

It was pretty warm experience,  but it was our only other option because I didn't realize that the Zoo closes so early:/ so we were slightly forced to check this place out! !;)

Daddy showed us around and reminisced about his old days; He thought that it was especially crazy how much land corrosion has happened since his last visit. Also, stating and pointing "How he used to climb up that and that; being crazy and dumb."

After eating our fabulous 'to-go' TacoBell dinner we had lovely cupcakes with Candles. (He had no clue on how to blow these things out)

Then it was present time, which our Bayd wasn't really into; he was more interested in the water, taking his clothes off and running around. Haha, good times: the Kids thought that he was such a 'crack up'!

We love his NATURE,  he is a treat to have in our family!

Quick Zoo trip

So we had to give uncle 'John and Emma' the official welcome to 'Arizona Zoo Trip'!

-a long time ago Nana gave me a special discount to get a Membership with them; I have had one ever since!

The kids really enjoyed having them there!

It was fun seeing the huge animals and this trip we splurged and did the camel rides!

*Thanks for coming!
Xoxo

P.s. sorry Bayden that you had a blow out when we got there and all i had was a spare set of shorts; also that you rode in your sister's pink car seat!

Trampoline takes fight :/

So during our Biennial Stockton Reunion!  There was some crazy weather;  Rain, clouds and wind.

We thought;  Oh we can handle this!

We didn't realize how windy it had gotten;  then all of a sudden our trampoline blew away! !!:/

Craziness, as we watched through the kitchen window!

We quickly learned that most likely,  We will all be 'sitting ducks' in the event of an apocalypse or sudden natural disasters.  Haha :p

Because,  after it jumped over our fence and landed in our pasture,  it continued 150ft too lift and fly over our other fence and strike our neighbors mailbox! (As we continued watching in amazement, with our mouths oPen)  haha!  :/

*Sad to say that, that Both are now currently out of commission!

-but our neighbor handled the news great;  he will fix it himself! WE MADE OUT LIKE A BANDIT :)

(Reunion pictures are in their way)
