Settlers Park

Very refreshing to get wet on a REALLY hot day...

I love Settlers park...there are so many things to do, the playground is huge and you can get wet for free...how much fun is that!!?

MK Nature center

We completely filled the week with stuff to do with Jana and Leo...and it was so fun! We went to the MK Nature center Tuesday and it was so blasted hot that we didn't stick around too long. We saw all the fishies and went to the center where we saw stuffed animals that were kinda scary! We had a lot of fun despite how hot it was...it didn't take long for us to hit settlers park and get wet!!

Kerbs reunion

I look forward to this ALL year!! I love the Kerbs reunion! If there is anything worth counting down the time to it is this reunion. I love my family and I love hanging out with them at this reunion. It was Elly's first time camping too and we got to have ALL the kids with us! It was so fun. Tony and I put our air mattress in the back of the suburban, the girls got the tent, and Tony got to use a little one man tent that Leo lent him. Everyone was happy and warm! Melissa and Abby got to share a tent too so that was fun for those girls! We did lots of hiking, napping, and chatting, and duct tape crafts so everyone had lots and lots of fun! Tony jr. discovered propane lanterns and his hand discovered how hot they are too. He had a wrap around his hand the rest of the time as a result...looked like a toasted marshmallow.

 Tony didn't forget his cheeseballs just for Steve's sake...He wouldn't be Tony without his cheeseballs!

 We played down by the river and it was pretty cold, but felt SOOO good. When you could feel your feet again!

 This is the hill Melissa took a header off of...to hear her tell it, she slipped did a front flip and rolled. From the bumps, bruises, and scrapes she received...I believe her! She had some good ones. It wouldn't be camping without the scrapes and bruises right?

 We went for a little hike to see some butterflies and had some fun re hiking where the kids went with Leo. They totally wanted to show us everything.

 Elly hanging with Jana...she loves her!!

 Walking with Dad! She loved camping...

 But not the water so much!

 There were a lot of us in the water just hanging out before we had to leave...

 Even Marv and Trav came down and joined us by the water. We had a great time!

 On the way home...Melissa stayed with Grandma and Grandpa for an extra night while we traded and took Steve home so he could go to work the next morning. We went through Stanley to get home and it only took 10 minutes before Anna puked, but she was fine the rest of the way even though it was even more twisty and turny the rest of the way.

Steve...the other passender...duh duh dunnnn.
