On Friday we went to the La Brea tar pits. It was a fun idea, but after much traffic there the kids only lasted so long. We also thought that there was dinosaur fossils there. We were all wrong. It was fun to see how they dig it all up and all the many fossils they have found in that area. The kids just kept saying, "It is soooo stinky here!" The kids were just excited for another day of adventures. Thank you for the fun!!!!
We went to the Wild Animal Park and the kids had a blast. We saw lots of animals and went to a few shows. Zach got picked as a volunteer for the bubble show. He loved that!!!
Can you believe it??? I have a 1st grader and a 3rd grader! Matthew and Eli start at different times than Zach and Allison, so you will get to see 2 more posts of first days of school. Anyway Allison was just so excited to be in first grade and to have Zach's teacher. Zach was so hyper this morning because he could hardly wait to be a BIG 3rd grader. Good luck to you both! We are so proud of you guys!
Allison at the door of her new classroom.
Allison at her desk. She gets to have one of her good friend at her same table and the other one next to her at the neighboring table. She was so excited.
Here is Zach at his new classroom.
I spent to much time in Allison's class, so I was late getting to Zach's. I had to snap a desk picture from out of the room. He looks all business!
We were invited to a friends house for some swimming fun. My kids were thrilled because it was yet another day of swimming. Allison was a pro at the water slide by then. Needless to say my kids were totally worn out by the end of the day. Some of the pictures are of a gigantic slip and slide. There will be more pictures of these to come! The funnest thing ever!!! Matthew thought it was pretty cool! Thanks for the fun.
The Fishers invited us to Palm Springs on Wed. Tricia and I drove out there with our 10 kids to stay 2 nights. Boy were we a sight to see trying to get all of our stuff up to the room with all the kids. People just stood there and watched us try to cram in to the tiny elevators. The kids just had a blast swimming and going down the water slide over and over again! Spencer even got really brave and kicked his way around the pool in the little innertube.
So last Monday my friend and I piled our 9 kids into our cars and drove out to Yucaipa to go to the local regional park for some fun on the water slides and pool. We met up with our other friend and her 5. We pulled up to the park and they were CLOSED!!!! What to do with 13 kids who were planning on playing at the "beach". So Melissa said lets go to my house in Hemet. So, off we went to her house that is in the construction phase. The one down fall is there was NO bathroom. I have the cutest picture of 4 of our boys. pants around their ankles peeing in the grass. Spencer is just standing there admiring, wishing he could be apart of the "potty trained". I just didn't think I should post a picture of 4 naked bums.
This was Allison's first trip down the slide ever. Go Allison!!!
This is all the kids minus the sleeping baby in the house. That's a lot of kids.
Zach and his buddies.
Allison was really liking the slide!!!
This is my new niece. My sister in law Cheryl had a baby June 11th. Here name is Audrey Jane. Isn't she just soooo cute. Allison just couldn't her long enough.
