The river

Saturday Justin had already grown tired of the pool so we headed down to the river instead.  There was a small area of moving water where even Gibson and Corbin could run the rapids. 

Linden’s first ride

You can’t go on a trail ride at the Mayan until you are 6 which meant that Linden could ride this year.  He requested Stefan go with him which means that I stayed back with Channing and Gibson.  Sadly, this is the best picture I got of him.  It’s still cute.  He was super excited.

Mayan 2012

It was a little weird to be at the Mayan AFTER the 4th of July but that didn’t dampen our fun!  Oreo was there when we first arrived and those of us that were there took a picture with him.

Our first dinner on Windwood

We keep saying we need to have dinner out at the lot and July 4th gave us the opportunity.  We have our old picnic table out there so there was no need to bring a blanket, just bug spray for the chiggers.  It was an evening cut short thanks to Channing who has to go to the bathroom EVERY TIME we go out to the lot.  It was enough though and we took a picture to celebrate the occasion.

Decorating bikes

I can remember having bike parades as a kid around the 4th of July and how much fun it was to decorate my bike.  I thought it would be fun to do it with the kids bikes.  I think I need to work on the accessories to decorate but it was fun to put streamers and balloons on our bikes just the same.

The most noteworthy

The most exciting thing about July 2nd was that I took all four kids to the dentist and no one cried.  Everyone, including Gibson, got their teeth cleaned.  It was a big day and to top it off, no cavities.  Out of four kids I would say we’ll consider that a win-win.

The end of a great week

The boys had a fun week with my parents going to Sea Camp and even being bank employees for a week. (They went to work with my mom for about an hour everyday). This picture marks the beginning and end.  The first time the boys have stayed with my parents by themselves and the end of a great week.
