I love this place!!  Specially at night.

Always loved the noises, smell and sounds when it gets dark.  There is just something magical about a carnival when the sun goes down.

B&G are finally big enough to ride most of the rides.  B got on them all and I think G is still a little small, cause he says some of the bars on the rides hurts his stomach.

We won prizes and even 3 gold fish.  Which promptly died within 2 days and then killed our 4 year old gold fish named Goldie.  Rest in Peace my little office friend.

They are off to 2nd grade.  August 17th was their first day and I was very, very sad to see summer come to and end (Broc is def. on the same page as me).

Broc asked if he could skip a year of school….LOL.  He seems to be loving it now and reading very advanced books, even though he says he hates it and drags his feet every night when it is time to do homework.   His teacher is tough, but I think that is good for Broc and hopefully she will challenge him this year.

Garret is having the time of his life.  Loves his teacher and is doing really, really well.  Getting a lot of green points, which makes me very happy.  🙂  He has been reading very well too. and he has the freedom to chose his own books and read for 20 mins a night.

 

B&G have been doing quite a bit of tree climbing in the past few weeks.  Sometimes they are fearless and other times not so much.  This picture below makes me laugh.  G is having the time of his life and B felt like he was not in a good place.  I have to admit he did at least try to smile.

 

We only had one day, the weather was not so great and daddy could not be with us, but we tried to make the best of it!!!

We are very happy you are home and you were missed very much!

 

The boys made these about 6 weeks ago.  We planted the cat grass last week and there you go……Monsters!!!

I was working the other day and caught this guy flying past my office window.  For a turtle he was very fast.  I believe it is a Wood turtle.

A little polishing here and there, but it is done!!!!

I took the boys to the park a few weeks ago.  We rode bikes and ended up at the playground.

I always like watching kids come together and play.  It is either a hit or miss.  They play by their selves or after many glances at each other, walk byes and a few side comments.  They may or may not come together.  I have noticed in the past that it is usually Broc that takes the initiative to say hi to someone.  On this particular day, it was G!  He asked the kid about his nerf gun and how did he get on top of the monkey bars.  The kid showed him, after many tries G finally figured it out and then they were sitting next to each other talking about everything like they were long lost friends.  I loved this kid!  He was very nice to Garret and after about 15 mins, G yelled at Broc to come over and there you go…..the 3 Amigos until it was time to leave.

I wish life could always be that simple.

The boys had a great time at White Tail’s Adventure Camp.  They did a lot of swimming and hiking, each group built a teepee, played games, shot air rifles and bow/arrows, team building activities, went to Cedar Ridge for their high/low ropes and zip lines, Thursday they even got to spend the night.  They watched a movie, had smores and played games.  On Friday, we had lunch with them and saw pictures of the week and the awards program.  Afterwards the boys walked me around and showed me everything they did during the week.

The counselors gave out awards at the end of the week.  G for the Best Story Teller…LOL and Broc for Most Encouraging. I thing they fit them both well.
