| This "pool play" is alot cooler.... |
 |
| ...than the "pool play" where Ky has to play baseball in the hot sun to make it to the last day of the tournament! |
 |
| And this pool play... |
 |
| ...is right down the street... |
 |
| ....courtesy of our neighbors.... |
 |
| ....who love it when we use their pool. |
 |
| This week, Coco learned to swim... |
 |
| .....with her water wings! We are thankful for such generous neighbors! |
 |
| ...starts with a contraption like this..... |
 |
| ....combined with fishing line that goes to the upstairs window. |
 |
| Next, add a little patience and quiet.... |
 |
| ....which will hopefully lure in a ground squirrel who is hungry.... |
 |
| ...and you got... |
 |
| ....a little fun! |
 |
| .....as there were alot of people there to ... |
 |
| ...not only to see.... |
 |
| ...all the great animals... |
 |
| ....but to also see.... |
 |
| ...the Kratt Brothers!!! It was well worth the trip, though, as we have Wild Kratt fans in this house! Ky and Rocky had baseball games today, so I stayed home. Our new membership gave us free tickets to the dophin show, so we will be going back soon! (Photo credit goes to Moe.....except for the pictures he is in!) |
 |
| The birthday boy started his day bright and early.... |
 |
| ...as this group of golfers headed out to a 7am tee-time. |
 |
| Birthday golf outings.... |
 |
| ....are starting to become.... |
 |
| ...a yearly tradtion! |
 |
| We had cake... |
 |
| ....with the song, "Sixteen Candles" playing in the background. |
 |
| Ky received a car now that he is old enough to get his driver's license.....a toy car, that is!!! He doesn't quite have the required "behind the wheel hours" yet to apply for his license....but it will probably happen soon, though! |
 |
| The afternoon and night were capped off with basketball practice and then playing two sophomore summer league basketball games over an hour away! It was a busy and fun day! Happy Birthday, Ky! |
 |
| We went from this.... |
 |
| ....and by doing a little extra tweaking and designing.... |
 |
| ....we now have this..... a new and improved swingset. Mark added two extra "wings." One wing has a new swing (the one that Moe is on) and the other side will have either a trapeze bar and a 2 seated slider, OR it will have a big round (tire swingish like) swing on the other side. We are still deciding! |
 |
| We also cemented our tether ball pole into a tire. The 4 youngest put their hand-prints into the concrete! |
 |
| ....that was hit over the centerfield fence during today's 10 year old All-Star Game. His first home run! |
 |
| ....who likes to lick the brownie batter bowl? Whenever Coco hears the mixer going, she will scramble up onto the counter to watch the brownies being made and will ever so sweetly and patiently wait until the end to see if she can snitch a little! |
