putt putt

Monday night we decided to go check out this putt putt golf place. It was a big hit. a bit of drive to get there but the kids had a blast.

Monday morn open gym

We took the cousins to open gym on Monday morning. I hadnt been since school had been let out and boy was it crazy. I think there were 4 classes going on throughout the gym and Mondays are usually so quiet! The kids had fun anyways. Samantha and Kaitlyn watched the 'big' kids on the parallel bars for quite sometime.
The best group shot I could get

Zoo

We packed up a picnic and headed to the zoo today. We brought the big ol stroller and the little ones didnt want anything to do with it and walked pretty much the whole way while the big kids fought over who got to ride in it! We started off at the merry go round. Kaitlyn and Ryan werent very close by so I didnt get good shots of them.

We then went to see the elephant play with a keg.

Good times is in the splash park but I only got this one good shot of Courtney

Then the kids wanted to get there picture taken on the frog

Courtney and Sydney loved picking flowers I kept telling them not to but they jsut couldnt resist!

Kaitlyn, Ryan and Aunt Rhonda showed up yesterday for a week of fun. I wasnt very good w the camera though. They spent a good amount of time swimming and playing. Good times!


Jon did record me keroaking "Hit me with you best shot" with the kids but I dont think he knows how to upload it to the computer, thankfully!

Woohoo. Now we just need to get some new furniture, barstools and put the play set all back together and it will be picture perfect!
