Fun in the sun

Last week the boys and I spent a day with my sister Heather and her two kids. It's great having them live so close :)

We took full advantage of the beautiful day. We went for a walk, played at the park, and got a little wet too.

We brought our sprinkler ball along. It was the first time the boys have played with it and they absolutly loved it.

Looks like everyone needed a drink of water...even Auntie Heather :)

Then the kids jumped in the pool for some more fun.

Then it was time for a walk to the park.

Daddy's little helper

Ryan loves to help out whenever he can. His latest thing is helping Dad mow the lawn.
After awhile Dad didn't need the help anymore. Ryan had to find his own mower. :)

Hot...Hot...Hot...

With the weather being so HOT "96 degrees" and humid we decided to get the pool out. Here are some pictures of the boys having fun.

Today the boys spent some time at the lake. Thanks to "Big Grandma" the boys love to fish.

Children's Museum Day!

We have been saying all winter we were going to make it to the Children's Museum. Well, we took the day off today and headed up for a day of fun. The current special exhibit was "Dinosaurs: Land of Fire and Ice". Carson really liked this dinosaur...it moved its head and blinked its eyes.Ryan and Dad looking for dinosaur bones.The boys sitting on one of the dinosaurs.Looking at the fish.The Larson's joined us :)GraceDave and EliRyan watching the balls go through the tubes.Grace, Carson and Ryan playing with all the balls in the water.Carson all dressed up as a construction worker.Carson and Ryan playing with the rubber frogs and crabs in the water.Even my sister and I got in on a little fun :)

Carson "The turtle"

The kids playing with some oats, boats, and goats. This room at the museum was all about rhyming. Another table had rice, mice, and dice.

We spent five hours at the museum, and as you can tell by the pictures, the kids loved every moment :)

Lots of fun...
