National night out

Our neighborhood had their national night out last week, where everything is fun and free! The sun even joined us for the occasion. :)

First, we got in line for our boys to jump the highest of heights! No quadruple flips in the air yet... maybe next year. :)



After that, they played on the inflatables...
ate cotton candy,

had a snow cone (note that Casey's snow cone is ice only... am I a smart mommy or what?!),

(Are all of their eyes closed? Funny!)

got some tattoos, (which Jacob still has as a result of consecutively holding up his arm in the bathtub)


But by far... my favorite part was the look on Casey's face as he watched a REAL helicopter take off. He is in LOVE with airplanes and helicopters, but he never expected one to blow his hair every which way as it took off only a few feet away. His eyes were HUGE. Priceless.


The part where my friend and I swapped kids for a free massage was a close second though. ;)

Leavenworth

Jacob has been sooo excited about our annual trip to Leavenworth. He asked me about a month ago how many days there were until we went camping. Since there were 24 days, he thought it would be a great idea to put together a 24 piece puzzle to count down the days, one at a time. Everyday, Casey would somehow get to the puzzle and take it apart or swipe it onto the floor... and everyday, Jacob would patiently fix his coveted countdown puzzle. :)

Leavenworth is my ideal kind of camping for sure. Here are some pictures of why I love it here so much. :)

Each morning, I can grab my coffee drink and let the kids run on the playground.




Did I mention this coffee stand also has ice cream?!


My boys love swimming in the outdoor pool with their cousins.

Cousin love...

There is also a river you can swim in... or rent tubes and float down it!


It's fun to take pictures of the kids playing in the beautiful nature behind our cabin.



Mommy! Help!


They think these bunk beds are the best!


Brushing up on some t-ball skills.



Adam flies his model airplane and they all come running!

The town is a great place for shopping and eating!


Isn't this picture hilarious?

There is free wood to chop for a campfire. The boys watched their daddy use his big, strong muscles to chop it and helped him carry it back.

And they loooove smores too!


It was a beautiful night so Adam took some pictures of the moon.
...and of the boys with their glowsticks. :)
