Dover Days!!!

At 6:00 a.m. the day is already feeling like it's gonna be a scorcher. We loaded up and drove out to Legislative Ave. where we were going to be selling funnel cakes for a fund raiser. We got a bit of time to relax (amid uh, electric problems!)  before the main crowd walked over after the parade. The smell of hot grease and food was in the air, and the sound of generators was deafening. Welcome to... Dover Days! It did indeed turn out to be quite a hot day, but we drank plenty of water and beat the heat with some uh, lemonade from the vendors across the street? : ) There were food vendors lining the entire street and almost all of them somehow seemed to be selling funnel cakes! We stayed busy most of the day however, and by the end it turned out to be quite a profitable day in $ and in fun. : )

They had camels there for riding.

And this poor baby was three weeks old and kept crying. : (

 Yum!!!

 Taking a break...

What In The Wild?

A few weeks ago, Activity Club took a trip to the Washington Zoo. We hadn't gotten more than half way there when our van load of girls started with the "I'm Hungry!'s". Isaac & I had the younger group of girls and were then joined by Christina. Needless to say, we had lots of fun. We unfortunately didn't get to see the lions or tigers OR bears, but we did get to see some flamingos. They were a big hit as you can well imagine. : ) The monkeys were also quite cool. We watched/heard Pink Panther the entire way there and back. I rather liked that movie. No words, just cool music. We stopped at McDonald's on the way home to get something to eat instead of overheated ham sandwiches, and to get the girls their promised treat. Nobody in there could speak proper English and they kept messing up ours as well as other people's ice cream orders so we came away with two free ice creams. : ) Thanks to everyone for a super fun day!

 Isaac carried quite the load for a bit...

 An elephant's yawn is as long as they are big. This guy had yawned for like a whole minute!

Getting ready to head home.

Easter

Since almost all my family was in TN over Easter, Isaac and I went to his parents for Easter dinner/afternoon. Was really nice. I only have the one pic of Debbie and Jude, who konked out poor guy. We went over to the meeting hall for the Easter egg hunt in the afternoon, and in the evening all the youth girls were invited over to Miller's house for a camp fire. Was kinda a different Easter, but a very, very nice and memorable one. At the campfire, we started making shadows on the barn wall with a flash light. The girls had a blast! My strong.... cough... arms never got tired.... ; )

Poor boy was tired : )

 Good Friends!

 Waiting patiently? to begin...

 I found an egg!

Me too!

 Fellowship

"The Boys"

"The Boys" as they are quite fondly called, (Madison and Maia are referred to as "The Girls") came over one day to play while mommy was out. These pics are actually from two different days, but it doesn't matter what the day is... we always have lots of fun. : ) I think I have some of the coolest (and cutest!) nephews and nieces in the whole world!

Washable!!! : )

Oh Yeah!

I Love Nugatti!!! (chocolate bread)

 He went in the cage of his own free will. ; )
