Summer days

The kids have been enjoying their summer vacation. We try and get out twice a week. Once a week they get to do something with Grandpa and Grandma Davis, and another time we leave the babies with grandma and I get to take them to do something fun.  So far, this system has worked pretty well. This week I was able to take the older kids swimming at the pool  and today my parents took the kids fishing and hiking. This gets Bailey and Nick out enough that they aren't completely bored at home with the babies.


This is such a fun community pool in Nampa. Only $2 to get in. Not bad for fun way to cool off

 

 

Here they are climbing trees down by the Boise river after they went fishing with Grandma and grandpa Davis today.

 

Last week we went bowling. I signed the kids up for kids bowl free so they get 2 free games each day. We still have to pay for shoes and  my games if I bowl, but its still a pretty good deal

 

 

 

And here is Jackson getting into Nicks candy stash. He has a sucker in one hand and is holding a gumball machine. The twins can spot candy anywhere.

 

 

 

 

And the babies are officially 18 months, which means....nursery! Yeay. They are getting so big and love to explore. They open EVERY cupboard and throw things out. They love to destroy clean clothes piles, get into the pantry and dump food on the floor, dump out Bentley's water and eat his food (yes it is now on the patio table where they can still climb up and reach) and play in toilet water. Wow, this is our new reality for the time being, and it is HARD! Love them all though and managing to get through the summer having fun
