Sidewalk chalk fest

To way we went to the Gateway mall to see the sidewalk chalk artists and enjoy all the FREE vendors offering prizes for kids! The kids had their painted crazy colors, got temporary tattoos, balloon animals and more. WE got so much FREE stuff we filled the back of our van with goodies. When we were done with all of that, they played in the fountain and we listened to live bands perform. It was a great day!

Spike

Katie Brown got a new pet lizard named Spike. She let us come over and meet him. It was really funny when he stood up on his back legs and ran across the room.

This is the place Heritage Park

Today was "FREE" day at This is the PLace Heritage Park. Janae called and let us in on the news! We met Janae and Deborah and kids there. It was really fun. We even ate rootbeer flavored ice cream cones. It was crazy when the ox charged the fence and escaped a pen by the petting corral. Jacob laughed!

A Jr. Picasso and Monet?

Today we found an easel at a thrift store .Followed by a trip to Wal-mart for supplies we raced home to try it out. Kloe wanted to start painting in the van! She loves to draw. Jacob thought it was kind of fun, but HATED wearing a smock!

End of the year carnival

The elementary school that Jonah and Kayleigh attend had an end of the year carnival. There were lots of inflatable slides and fun houses. They even had a rock climbing wall. Jonah and Carson were so good to let Jacob play with them. Kayleigh and Cecilia took Kloe for awhile too. Kayleigh had SO much fun we barely saw her once we arrived. Kaitlin and Cecilia had a blast having a silly string war. I think Kaitlin won! Kloe really liked the disappearing ink! Good thing Jonah and Kayleigh brought home 10 bottles between them!
Today is also Kami's 21st Birthday!!!!! Way to go! We love and miss her!!!
