Phoenix

We had a great time at Aunt Cara's wedding. It rained in Phoenix (first time in the month of May it has rained there in 7 years) but it held off for the ceremony itself.

The wedding cake was actually cupcakes that we ate too many of ... but they were yummy!!

Not much dancing but towards the end Cara indulged Gumpy in one.

Kids had a fun time at the Oasis water park on Saturday afternoon - George even went down the 7-story tall slide. The lazy river was relaxing with the band playing in the background. Spicy Mexican food for dinner was an expected treat. The plane ride home went more quickly than the way there, maybe because we left so early.

Congratulations Cara and Phil! :)

Soccer

While George and John spent Saturday all day and overnight at Camp Miakonda, we girls had a great day of shopping ... interrupted by Estelle's soccer game. Check out the dirty knees! These pictures are from Saturday taken by another parent - on Sunday she actually scored a goal, not playing her usual defensive position. The guys did not take any pictures of the turkey roaster, the obstacle course, the kite-making, the kickball game, or the 4 s'mores with 8 marshmallows consumed by George. Oh well.

This week the first grade is going to the Mud Hens game so we'll hope for nice weather. Friday we leave for Arizona and Aunt Cara's wedding.

Craziness

The weekend course was in Seattle where I got to do touristy things with Meghan and Emelia. We visited the bronze pig at Pike Place Market and I got a coffee at the original Starbuck's ... Emelia is good at waving hello and goodbye, very friendly and laughy. What a great kid!






Today when I picked up the kids they were ... decorated! George went to sleep in his paint and will have to scrub off in the morning. Too bad we didn't have our BNL new CD yet for them to dance to in this crazy state ... check out www.bnlmusic.com/snacktime/ for a sample of the kids' new favorite song, 789.
