Dash Point

We had a very busy fun-filled not back to school week. On Tuesday we went to Dash Point with some friends. It was warm and sunny and a perfect afternoon.

Labor Day Fun

Coleman started reading Harry Potter this week. He only read it to me or Doug so that he can make sure he knows all the words. 

We biked along Soos Creek Trail. 

While Jackson and Jordan were playing basketball with the neighbors, Doug, Kenzie, Coleman, and I went to the school. Coleman wanted to play with his new slingshot airplane and stomp rocket. Kenzie wanted to fly our kite.

Kenzie climbed up the field goal post. 

It was really windy before we left, and Coleman was able to get the kite flying really good. He was just standing there while it was flying high. 

Play Unplugged

We finished up collecting our play unplugged badges.

We picnicked. 

Jordan was helpful. 

The first time they tried to fly a kite we realized we were missing part of it. 

Luckily we found the missing piece and were able to fly. Cam did a lot of them with us since she stayed with us for almost a full week.

We collected most of the badges with the Winters. 

We each brought a cousin along with us. Since their parents weren't here to sign a waiver authorizing the place to take a picture of them they could be in the previous picture with all the kids on the stairs. So we took a cousin picture of just them:) 

They made up ice cream flavors. Swedish fist for Jackson, Cinnamon for Coleman, gummy bear for Kenzie. Jordan's was peanut butter chocolate, extra peanut butter, but he already threw his picture away.  

They organized their school supplies. 

This was the place we picked up our organizing badge. 

And our last one that picked up one day on the way to piano was flossing. 

We were happy to finally collect them all and get our three month swim pass!

Last Day at Wild Waves

We went to Wild Waves twice last week. Once on Wednesday and again on Friday. Wednesday was so hot and so crowded. But Friday was perfect. It was cloudy but warm in the morning and it just kept getting warmer. But the clouds helped keep people from coming as early so the slides were empty most of the morning.

Ash and Camryn came with us. 

   

Coleman loves the water. Everyone else was ready for lunch, but he kept wanting to go down more slides and in the wave pool one more time.

At the end of the day we got treats since it was our last day of the year.  

Jordan, Cam, and Kenzie got Slurpees. Coleman got a pretzel, and Jackson got a caramel apple. Ashlee and I each got an elephant ear, but we decided we should have just shared one.

Coleman's Birthday Party

We finally had Coleman's birthday party, two months after his birthday.

He made thank you cards. 

They played the animal game while waiting for everyone to get here, and then Coleman opened his presents. 

Coleman and Thane 

He had a powdered donut cake. 

I had each of the kids run an activity at the party. Jackson did Jeopardy. 

Kenzie did pin the tail on the cat. 

She drew the cat. So cute!

One of the games Coleman wanted to play most was Twister. It was tricky when all the kids were playing at the same time. After the first game, we had them just do 4-5 kids at a time. 

Chase, Cam, Thane, Coleman, Jackson, Jordan, Mikah playing going to Jerusalem. 

Coleman limboing. Jordan ran this station. Although, in the end he joined in on the fun. Kenzie was pretty amazing at how far she could bend her body backwards. 

Then they played freeze tag and sharks and minnows outside.

Coleman loved his party!
