A little fun at the end of summer..

Recipe for summer fun =

Take one noodle and poke a bunch of holes in it with a pen. Plug up one end with a bunched up wal-mart bag and tape it in. Shove a garden hose in the other end and crank up the pressure! We added a ladder and the boys had a blast!

The first day of school!!!

We had a beautiful day for the first day! The boys were up a little after 6 am and ready to go by 7 am. They were very excited and happy to go. Cayden is in 3rd grade and Kieran started 1st grade. The boys decorated their own backpacks and were thrilled to have all their new supplies and stuff. So off we go!

Meeting the Chapas at the Zoo!

We met up with some friends at the Vilas Zoo last week. the weather held off most of the day until about 3 pm. The kids really had fun with each other. Cayden and Makenna really treat each other like brother and sister. It is funny to watch.

After being rained on twice, we carried on our day at Chuck E Cheese- always a big hit for the younger crowd. Here are some fun pics from our day.

Custer State Park

These are all pictures of our day (rainy) at Custer State Park. We hiked in the rain around Sylvan Lake (very cool), and drove on Needles Highway and Iron Mountain Highway. Very curvy road, very neat scenery and we drove through all six tunnels! The boys were terribly tired of being in the car by the end of the afternoon and Kieran was pretty carsick. In spite of the dreary weather, we are glad we made a point to go anyways that day. It really wasn't any worse weather-wise than any of the other days we were out there, so it didn't matter.

This ape was really hamming it up!

On the Kindergarten Trip to the Zoo this year, we got to see one of the oranguatans put on a great show! Usually they just lounge in the back corner, but this guy must've eaten his Wheaties! He was funny!

Update on us...Summer 09

Last Week of School!

Ms. Narveson was sad to see her kids go!
Mrs. Wainwright and Kieran had matching shirts on that day!

Cayden and Kieran on the very last day of school! Man, I was a basket case that morning. The last day of school was worse than the first day for some reason. The boys were stoked since we were leaving for the Black Hills on Sunday.
