Eating Crickets

We have flavored crickets for a challenge at work tomorrow. I brought some home and Max ate ten and Fox ate four. I bribed them by paying them $1 for each one. :)

First Day at Splash Park

Today was the first day that I was able to come early and take the kids to the splash park! Fox was napping at home so it was just Max and Alex that got to go. Sorry Foxman!

Easter Fun

Today we went to a big neighborhood Easter party with a climbing wall, bounce house, and lunch. It is also the day the splash park opened so a big day all the way around. Not to mention the FOUR hour bday party across town at a park that Alex went to!!! Four hours. Four. I woke up at 4:20am this morning. Just thought I'd throw that out there. I survived the best I could waiting by jogging a couple of miles as well as reading the Hungry Games (2nd book). Alex had a great time! She checked in on me every 20 minutes or so. She got to swing away at a piñata...which was in no danger from her swings that were no stronger than the flap of a butterfly wing.

We also died Easter eggs so hopefully tomorrow I'll post some pics.

Six Flags

Today we surprised the kids with a full day at Six Flags!! They love that place. I do too.

Fox does what???

Alex says, in a hushed voice, "dad, sometimes Fox sings when he's on the potty".

Swimming

This kids have really taken to swimming and are doing quite well on their own. Alex is a super fast swimmer, Max is outstanding at diving to the bottom to retrieve things, and Fox does some crazy underwater flips that he came up with all on his own.

We went down to Jeff and Diane's so all the cousin's could swim together. They played in the pool for a 6-7 hours total over a day and a half.

We also take them to World Gym to swim. They love going there.

In a week, we leave for the Wilderness Resort where we will get tons more swimming and playing in. www.wildernessresort.com

It's Been a While

Wow....I forgot about this blog. It has been almost two years since I updated it.

Since October of 2008 we have done quite a few cool things that I should have posted. Max turned six and then seven. Alex turned four and then five. Fox turned two and then three. We went to DisneyLand again as well as Florida. There were a couple of trips to Great Wolf Lodge as well as a great trip to Big Cedar Lodge. Time flies.
