Fun In the Sun . . .

Aunt Kari invited us over for Karter's birthday party on Saturday the 11th. I am a bit late posting pictures, but it was a fun day in the water. The boys have decided we need a blow up waterslide too. Wish we had that magic money tree in the back yard so we could get one.

It took TJ a while to warm up to the idea, but once he figured it out, as long as there wasn't a lot of kids on the ride, he was having a blast. The boys have a slip and slide at daycare that they like to play one, on this day TJ just wanted to walk across it though. Silly boy!
Travis loved it too! Kari was worried about Travis since most of the kids at the party were 10 and younger, but he joined in the fun. He and his brothers kept having races up and down the slide.
As soon as Grandma Sue arrived, Travis was determined to get her wet . . .This is one of my favorite pictures of Travis and TJ this summer, say cheese . . .Hunter boy had a blast too, he was all over the place, most of the time climbing up the slide rather than using the ladder, or knocking people over before they could get out of the way, imagine that!Behind Kari's house is a holding pond, a mother had hatched her ducklings. Hunter and Kasen decided to take a break from the waterslide and feed the ducks.

After a few minutes TJ realized big brother was gone so he wanted to go investigate. He is so little he couldn't see the ducks over the weeds at first. "Where mom where?"
Of course you can't visit Aunt Kari's house without a fest, the boys were famished after playing in the water all day, they each ate three sloppy joes, endless chips, and fruit too. That doesn't include the brownies, cake, ice cream and banana splits that were served for dessert just before we left. Nothing like having three growing boys around!
Here is Hunter and TJ snuggle buggin for a minute trying to get warm on mom's lap . . .
By the time we left at 6:30 that night, TJ was exhausted. Before we hit the freeway to come home he was snoring. When we got home I couldn't resist taking a picture before I put him to bed. I think this picture says it all, what a way to end a fun day in the sun. Note . . .TJ never woke up until Sunday morning at 8am, he was one tired little boy. LOL!
