This summer one of the bowling alleys in town offered a "kidsbowlfree" program. We enjoyed three different times at the alley as a result.
 |
| Ryrie took to bowling the most. He wanted so badly to win... |
 |
| Willy got a strike on our first round! |
 |
| Tommy has quite the throw--very strong. |
 |
| We invited some friends the third time we went and that upped the anti by quite a bit. |
 |
| George insisted on carrying it himself each time--did drop it quite a bit, and I stressed a lot about broken toes, etc. |
 |
| It took about 2 minutes to make it down to the pins.... |
We spent a fun afternoon at our friends' farm. The boys loved the slip and slide, snacks, double trampolines, and giant sand pit.
 |
| Filling the tub for the "Tsunami" wave that would wash them all down the hill. |
 |
| Had to keep lots of sunscreen on this little peach all summer. Had a couple of burns though. :-( |
 |
| This was the giant pit--makes our sandbox look like kitty litter! |
Our Spencer Family reunion was at the end of July. Everyone was there from the Spencers except Jane and family. :-( The boys had a great time with their cousins and got to know some extended family as well. There were 3 talent shows, lots of games, painting of cars, kickball, ultimate frisbee (no running allowed--very funny), volleyball, eating, and of course...the slip and slide at Magrath Campsite is unbeatable.
 |
| Georgie captures Tressa and Emma whenever they come around. Campbell got roped into some George activities this time too! What great cousins the boys have! |
 |
| The Brothers Spencer, concocting delicious homemade salsa for the reunion. |
 |
| Superman emerges from the slip and slide |
 |
| Another superman |
 |
| This was the meal we served for our lunch--taco salad supreme. Mmmmmm... |
 |
| After the reunion we continued the fun at the Bennet's in Magrath. The kids played until it got dark and then there were amazing fireworks, a bonfire with roasting of marshmallows, and games. Those Bennets know how to party! |
So I have spent so much time exploring with the boys on the other side of the river that I overlooked what we have on our own side! This summer we've been twice to the wetlands on our side. Its a pleasant little walk around a pond. We saw some turtles the first time, and ducks and a beaver the second. Supposedly there are spiders and waterbugs that eat fish, and painted turtles! Hopefully as we explore it a bit more we can find them all.
You guys have had quite the summer. Looking forward to even more posts and pictures! :)
