Week of July 26
Sunday Best!!
It's summer and that means the people at church who have big gardens leave extra vegetables for others to take and enjoy!!
Hugs at Costco!
Playing in the pool!
Tuesday, park date with the Exhale mommies!
These kids loves to swing!
Sorraya had her 1.5 well check this week! The waiting room was fun, but once we entered the room and she saw the table she usually sits on - she started screaming. And then each time a people came in the room too!! She was just terrified! :(
We had the treat to have my good friend Jenn, from AZ, and her little boy, Blake, to come and spend time with us for a few days! They have been able to stop by each year we have lived here on their way to their families cabin in MN. But this year, Jenn and Blake got to come a few days earlier to make more of a visit out of it!
Waiting at the airport for their plane to come in!
The plane is here!! Waving to it!
Here they are!
The boys enjoyed a popsicle together!
Snuggled up together while watching a show in the morning!
Chewing gum together in the car!
Crazy drivers together!
We took Jenn and Blake to Buffalo River!
They loved it and wished they had something like this close by to them!!
Group Picture!
Making sandcastles!
Eating lunch!!!
Blake was so brave to go out into the deep water with his mommy!!
I tried to take Ryken out first...but he was scared and didn't want to go any further!
Then I took Raya out and she wasn't thrilled either, but tolerated it more than Ryken! But while, we were out in the deep water, Ryken was crying out of fear for Sorraya!!
But we got some cute pictures...thanks to Jenn!!
Such big helpers!
Ryken loves to make orange juice and he let Blake help him this time!
It was 1/2 price cheese cakes at our favorite cupcake place, GiGi's...so we all went and got a treat and brought it home to enjoy!
Friday morning, we went to Scheel's and rode the Ferris Wheel inside!!
Blake and Jenn went first and had a blast...which then talked Ryken into trying it with me!!
He was excited! Here is his token!
We wore our shoes that would make him the tallest...since you had to be a certain hight to ride...but no one checked. We were close, but passed!
Riding around! At one point... we stopped at the very top while others were getting on...that was neat to be way up there!! We pretending we were flying with the birds!
Raya enjoyed watched everyone ride!
Scheel's is such a fun store...that we walked around some.
The boys played with the train some!
Then they swung on the workout equipment!
Jenn's hunsband, Matt and their youngest boy, Kade, flew in early afternoon, and then they were on their way to the cabin.
We of course got a picture together! It was such a treat to have them with us longer than usual!!
The boys had as much fun as the mommies did!!
We are already looking forward to next year!
Celebrating the ordinary moments that make life extraordinary!!
Love the hugs picture! And that pool looks like the perfect summer afternoon activity!Love all the pictures of Jenn and you and the kiddos! So great that she was able to come early this year! And the boys looked like they had an absolute blast! Great times with great friends are always so special!
