Boy, have we been busy!! O.k. maybe it was just lazy, but no new blog updates for quite some time, so here it goes. Father's day was a lot of fun, especially with so much time off work, just one four hour shift over 5 days. Since it was raining in Western Washington and campsites were booked in the eastern half, we decided to camp in the parents courtyard. We had a covered section for the tent, open spaces for the kids bikes, a bbq for food and s'mores and a list of things to do. Nana bought a zoo membership, so we went twice, taking Auntie KT with us one time. We went to a special sneak preview of Ice Age 3D, amazing and hilarious at the same time. Daddy got spoiled with a special breakfast and dinner, lots of presents and time to relax as well.
The fourth of July was spent at Jared and Ashlee's new place at his parents house. Lots of toys for the kiddos to play on and lots of fireworks to look at. Otherwise, we have spent lots of time enjoying the sun, going for walks and running in the sprinkler. Our new garden has also been a joy once we taught Hilton the difference between good plants and weeds. It has been fun for all of to watch everything but the tomatoes grow. We have already gotten to enjoy the cilantro and basil, with peppers, zuccinni, squash, peas and carrots growing fast. Please little tomatoes, join the party, then we can make lots of salsa!
