Cub Scout Picnic

Yesterday was Spencer's Cub Scout Pack 386 picnic. We have had a number of new scouts join this year and it was a great way to get them all involved and us parents get acquainted with the new parents as well. We had a great turn out, and the kids also were able to get some of their objectives done as well.Tim and Spencer won the three legged race and Cameron and Andrew have a lot of work to do on their timing. Spencer and Ethan gave it a good shot as well.

Popcorn sales have started and Spencer is out to try to sell the most. He is doing very well so far and looks to quite a bit better than he did last year. This is when it is nice that he is a social butterfly and has the gift of gab, he is quite the salesman. I will update his final total after the 13th.

Our final vacation day...with family

What better way to end a great trip than to hang out and BBQ with more family. We had the BEST dinner at Pat and Rich's beautiful house on Saturday night. The kids had so much fun playing together. The weather was perfect and the food was so yummy. I really was a perfect evening to end a pretty prefect trip. Minus the 2 hour delay in the San Diego Airport on the way home, the kids traveled pretty darn good. It also helped that the airline gave us all free DirectTV for the trip back because of the delay. So the kids watched cartoons and once Cooper woke up he watched Animal Planet with Daddy so Mommy could watch the Broncos game. Now I think I need a vacation from my vacation....I'm exhausted!

Sea World

Well on Thursday we spent the whole day at Sea World. The kids did GREAT! We all had so much fun. The kids loved being in the splash zones, and boy did we get wet at the dolphin show. Cooper thought it was so much fun getting wet too! All the kids except Cooper of course were tall enough to ride all the rides, so that was so much fun for them. Their favorite was the Ship Wreck Rapids......and again we got SOAKED! Oh well they had fun and that is what all this is about, right?

Family and tide pools

Today we had Bill's cousin Pat and Rich over with their granddaughters to play with the kids and catch up on each other's lives. The kids hit it off, and played like they had known each other forever. Later that day we took the kids out at low tide so they could explore the tide pools. they saw hermit crabs, sea crabs, anenome, and LOTS of muscles. Oh and we found out that no rub spray on sunscreen really could use a quick rub. Hehehe!
