Last 1st Movie Experiance

It's always fun for me to take my kids to their first experience of something.

This summer I took all three kids to "Planes: Fire & Rescue". It was G's first time at the theater. I thought for sure he would have no problem with this adventure however...I was wrong.

We bought tickets, got popcorn and drinks and were just about to head into the theater when he just lost it. Bawling! He kept saying, 'I scared mama, I scared'. Holy break my heart! Luckly I brought reinforcements with me...my mom. She took the older two in and got settled while I calmed Little Man down. Standing outside the theater he could only see random lights in a dark room and very loud noises comeing from inside. I can see why this might be scary when you have no idea what to expect. 

I explained to him we were going to see 'Dusty Crophopper' so we waited until we heard his voice coming from inside. As soon as we did we slowly walked in to where he could see the screen then he was super excited to sit down and watch the show on such a 'giant TV'. 

He did great the entire movie. 

*Pictures aren't the best. :(

 

Summer, Summer, Summer

With summer comes a whole lot of fun adventures.

We love spending time outside so summer activities for us are almost all outside enjoying the beautiful weather we have for this short season in Michigan.

Here are some pictures of our summertime adventures. 

Living at Amma & Papa's house brought all new adventures this summer. We loved watching the boats. Especially the cruise ship that came in every 10 days or so.

Jeepin' was super fun this summer because Papa made it so we could take all three kids in the back.

The kids get creative and made an outdoor kitchen.

We went with some friends to Miranda's Park Party at Kollen park. Kids had fun but there were far too many people and it was way too hot for my liking.

A little ice cream cooled them down a bit.

P met Daddy's favorite meteorologist. Daddy was jealous!

I picked up a slip-n-slide for $8 one day. P and C had a good time but G was unsure.

The kiddie pool was mainly used for boats this year but occasionally they would venture in.

Vacation Bible School was another activity the kids did...twice. Once at our own church the other at Ava's church

P & the other P.

We also checked out the new splash pad across town.

C & P loved it!

This is what G did. He was not a fan.

Finally he got his feet wet but still didn't love it.
