Loving Lava

This summer was full of fun, especially for about four weeks in July and August. For three weeks we went on adventures on Thursday - Saturday. We'd pack, come home, unpack, wash clothes, and then pack again. It was a little crazy. On the forth week I actually got a break because instead of packing for us all to leave, I just had to pack for the kids because they went to stay with their grandparents. Anyway, we were grateful for the fun. So after the cabin weekend, we came home and prepared for Lava. This is supposedly the last year for Lava, so we tried to do everything. We rode the river, sat in the hot pots along the river, got ice cream at the infamous ice cream shop, and just had fun. Jeff even did a crazy adventure with his dad and cousin. They tubed the river at night with head lamps as their only guide. I was a bit worried, but I figured they'd be ok. Apparently it was quite the thrill. Anyway, we all had fun, and I was glad the babies got to go to Lava at least once. Maybe some day we will go again.

Nine months and counting!

I love nine month old babies. They are so cute and excited about learning new things. My nine month olds also can not go anywhere yet, so they are content to just sit and play. It is fun watching them play with each other too.

Cabin Time

The twins had their first visit to the cabin in July. They seemed right at home, and we all had a great time. It is a little challenging dealing with two babies at night in a strange place, but it turned out good. The kids of course loved every minute of it. They didn't even care when it took of a few extra hours to figure out that our parents broke the drive shaft of their truck, and that we'd have to take them home. Fun times.

Splash Pad Fun

In July we had fun cooling off at a local splash pad. I like places like this because the kids can get wet, but I don't have to worry about them drowning.
