Disneyland

We started our vacation staying at Disneyland for 3 days.   First ride of the trip was Splash Mountain.


















Lunch at the Blue Bayou



The below picture is a big deal.  Ethan doesn't love rollercoaster or heights.  He is terrified.  This trip he finally went on tower of terror (first time below) and California Screaming.

I'm a little behind.  Here are a few pictures from a few weeks ago.

Ethan and his friend eating waffles at the house.  Ethan spends a lot of time with his friends lately!   And they spend a lot of time at our house eating all the food :)

Cole at golf lessons.  This picture makes me laugh because Cole is the one on the ground (blue shorts and red shirt).  He is checking out the slope of the grass and trying to figure out the best angle to hit the ball.   He is so serious!

Here is Ethan getting off the golf cart after his lesson. His group has a bunch of his friends so I think they do a lot of goofing off :(


Liv playing water ballon volleyball with friends at the park.

Liv at gymnastics!


Working on bars dismount.

Cole getting frogs out of the swimming pool.

Swimming fun.



Night swimming!

4th of July with friends and neighbors.








We took Oliver to Camp Bow Wow Tuesday evening and headed out early Wednesday morning on vacation!


5am flight!  Watching the sunrise from the sky.


More vacation fun coming soon....

The kids started summer school this week.  Liv is taking Yoga, Silly Snacks, Volleyball and Duct Tape Crafts this term, while Cole and Ethan are taking basketball, football, speed & conditioning, and track.  Ethan is not in the photo below because he was still sleeping during this time.  His classes don't start until 1 hour later.


We did lots of tennis, golf, gymnastics and soccer this week.

After golf lessons Wednesday morning I couldn't find Cole.  I saw his clubs resting outside the country club so I went inside and found him sitting with a few friends at the bar ordering kiddie cocktails and donuts!


We had some yard work done this week with lots of new plants and trees and a fun new Pergola on the back patio.



We swam a lot and played outside until we couldn't see anymore.





The missionaries came over Thursday evening.  We played some fun games.

Liv wanted to try rag curls one night.


Ethan headed up North Friday with a friend for the weekend.  They stayed in a cabin on the lake.  I only spoke with him twice over the whole weekend(and one of those I had to call his friend's mom to get him)  He had a blast swimming, biking and exploring.



Cole and Liv went with me to pick strawberries at a local farm one afternoon.






We got fresh lemonade when we were done, it was HOT!



We took Cole and Liv out for dinner on the patio Saturday evening.  Our appetizer was a pretzel that was HUGE!




Oliver's birthday is today!  We are celebrating surviving one year with a dog who thinks he is the boss of the house :)
