Babysitting Grandsons

I spent the last week watching the boys while B & L spent the week in DC.

Monday we picked blackberries and went to the park to ride bikes and play in the sandbox.

Tuesday we went to Macdonald's for ice cream and to play on their big indoor toy.

Wednesday we went to the bouncy house. They have five of those inflatable toys and you pay $7 for the first child and $5 for each sibling. They get an hour and a half of jumping & climbing. Then went to get a Jamba Juice (fresh fruit smoothie with ice) I got a peach mango and the boys got a chocolate moo then off to go to Michaels.

Thursday we went to another park like our Riverside park & the boys ran & ran. I read a book in the shade.

Friday, Andrew & Bruce joined us and we went to the coast and played in a huge sandbox. This is a whale bone sculpture the boys were playing on. We went to the Marine science center and saw Dorie and Nemo. We had a picnic, went to the light house and the last thing we did was walk out across the dunes to the reef and watched the boats come in.

Saturday we went to the farmer's market and got donuts, Bruce got melons & blueberries for Matt. I got to go to Jo Ann's and the the Goodwill. Bruce took the boys blackberry picking. We met B & L at the Target parking lot & gave up the boys. It seems to be a lot quieter around here...

Camp Fife

These are all the fun things Andrew & Bruce got to do at Camp Fife last week. Camp Fife is up by Mt. Ranier in Washington. Andrew did the canoeing, camping, shooting & swimming merit badges. He missed the shooting by 1/4 inch. We will have to practice. He needs more camp outs and he will get the camping merit badge. He finished canoeing and swimming.

I went to Salt Lake to stay with my sister and mom, (see costume blog for what I did)

Here is family picture of the males when we blessed baby Thea last week.

Grandpa Bob's 90th b-day

We had fun in Ashland.
Bruce made breakfast for the fam, Eggs Benedict and it was well received. We used fresh fruit from the Corvallis farmer's market. We enjoyed meeting all of Bob's friends and talking to the fam. We really like the music from Corkey Seigull and Michael Stanwood and BC Cameron.
Bob turned 90 on June 28 and we went to Ashland, OR to celebrate, stopping to see the grand babies along the way.
Will post photos later.
