Teach the Kids to Rollerblade...Check

I wanted to teach my kids to roller blade this summer...but being pregnant and just having a baby isn't conducive to that sport....so when Caleb was about 4 weeks old, I decided I should get and and try it. They did pretty good. Bumpy, cracked cement is a bit hard to learn on, but they did well. Better take them to the rink for the next lesson and a bit more confidence. Fun times.

She's not quite rollerblading age. Soon enough...

The Best Camp Trip Ever!!

Our friends let us use their private camp ground and it was oh so amazing. We had a blast!! Even with a newborn. I stayed in their trailer with Caleb and the rest of the fam stayed in our tent.

Camped with some good friends. Do you not love that it is all grassed and manicured. Loved that addition ;)

Can't camp without cards.

The little river/creek ran right next to us, the family has dammed in up in spots to make pools for the kids. They had soooo much fun with this.

Cold cold mountain water :)

...and lots of exploring.

2 tramps made for lots of jumping contests and the preschoolers having a blast.

The kids loved being bounced and wrestled by the daddies.

The pure excitement on her face is priceless.

Good ol fashion games of volleyball, badmitton, horseshoes, tetherball, baseball, soccer...you name it we played it ;)
...and hit the lake before we went home. What a fun weekend. Hopefully they will let us use that campground every year...here's for hoping. Look at our cute friend Noah. He's digging his sand bod.

Our beach turtle turned out great.

...and the boys and girls sand castle contest. Girls castle....
...boys castle.
...till next year

Pirates of the Carob Bean!!

Calling all sea creatures of Davy!! Miss Ambra was a great one.

Cole and Ambra did a music camp this summer. They had practice 5 days a week since the day school got out until mid July when they performed. 97 young performers put on an amazing show - darling songs, beautiful costumes and neat kids. They have so much fun doing this - and we love watching them perform (ALL FOUR NIGHTS).

Cole was a "lost boy" from "neverland". "We never hoist the mansail and we never swab the poop deck and we never had to learn because we never had the chance - we never owned a parrot, and we never, never, never, never dance! Why do you think they call this place NEVERLAND!"

Ambra's cute friends from our neighborhood had a great time performing together.

Mr Davy Jones himself.

This talented performer NAILED Captain Jack! He had the voice and the mannerisms... not to mention the costume down pat!
There's Mr. Smee.
Isn't she beautiful.
