Isaac is playing blast ball this summer along with my cousins little boy Tyler.  They had their first little practice this past Monday and it was so cute.  They started with the kids stretching in a circle, played catch and started helping them learn how to run the bases.  I was impressed by the structure of the class as well as how well the boys listened to directions.  It was a hot evening but they did great and Isaac is looking forward to next week!

Addy's first swim lesson


Addy did great at her first swim lesson.  She had a few moments where she was pretty unsure of herself, and a few where I thought she might fall asleep.  Isaac helped me take pictures and a few times he stood right on the ledge encouraging her.  It was very cute!  I think both Seth and Addy look forward to their next swim lesson!

Isaac stopped over for some encouragement

she loves the back float.  I think she could have slept like this.

All done!

Pump it UP!


Pump it up was sooooo much fun for Isaac and Tyler (and well Ryan too)!  Huge inflatables that the kids could jump in, obstacle course and of course two HUGE slides.  I knew Isaac loved the run of the mill jump houses but this took everything to a whole new level.  AMAZING, fun for the kids on a rainy day. 
Thanks Griffins for coming with us!!

Como Park

My friend Brenda and I decided to meet up for a little play date at Como Park.  Mistake!!  I believe she said there were 16 buses full of little kids on field trips and who knows how many other people!  It was pure insanity.  You could not even see the animals, the crowd was so large.  Quickly, we decided to just head over to the rides.  Not as crowded, cooler with the shade and the kids had a blast on the rides.  We both deserve gold medals for this outing!!

car ride!  The boys rode on this twice!

Eating her fingers and waiting for Isaac so we could go have our picnic!

Wagon ride gone bad!

Addy and Isaac LOVE to go on wagon rides.  I think it is mostly to see who can stand up the most.  Addy Loves the freedom of not being strapped in and takes full advantage of it.  She thinks she can roam the wagon and stand on the seats while we are pulling it.  News flash those things are naughty as Isaac would say and I often have to take her out.  Making her walk is also not a punishment since she is NEVER allowed in the street she finds this also thrilling!!  On this particular night it was just plan hilarious.  I just laughed and snapped pictures as Seth tried his best to keep calm...we only went around the block one time that night!
This is where it all started.  Isaac wanted to go for a ride in this wagon.

Of course Addy wanted to go too, so they used the big wagon.

Wasn't long and she was walking because she wouldn't sit still!  Leading the way!

Then of course Isaac had to get in on the running

They didn't stop long enough for Addy to get in...she is running behind!

Thinking he is going to play the in and out game!

Addy still running and Seth was moving it so fast He didn't have a chance to get out.

Go carts, bumper boats and mini golf!

Seth took Isaac Go carting today for the first time.  Well, actually there were a lot of firsts.  They also did bumper boats and mini golf.  I wanted to go too but I wasn't willing to risk Addy missing her nap!  So we stayed home, Addy took her rest and I rested my whiplash, not as much fun as the boys had.  Here are a few pics!  Thanks Teresa for taking the pics!!
