GO BANANAS???

Bananas Fun Park that is.


Today we went to enjoy the sunshine and family time. We went to Grand Junction and visited Bananas Fun Park. Bumper Bay, with the boats and squirt guns soaked us all down to help beat the heat.

Indoors, there were inflatable slides and bounce arounds. These were Lilly's favorite. The only problem is, she bounces around on them so fast that we were unsuccessful on capturing her with a Kodak moment.

We played a round of mini golf.

One of Jacob's favorite was the Lasar Tag. Again, we were unsuccessful capturing this on camera because of the dark and black lights.

It was a wonderful day and we had a great time.

Huckleberry Finn days at Ridgway State Park

This is the first fishing trip that we took the kids on this year. Ridgway State Park has Huckleberry Finn Days. It is a fishing contest for kids. Jacob and Lilly were very excited to take part.

The fish were not biting anything that we threw in, but the kids were happy. They got to keep their fishing poles. We also took a picnic lunch and then headed out to the swim beach area to enjoy the sunshine and have fun playing.

Work, Work, Work...

Today, Jake and Ryan set out to work on the boat....This IS Not the boat.

Jacob helped Ryan lay down the foam. It's pink because Lilly picked it out. She really wanted the whole thing pink, but this was the compromise Ryan was willing to make.

While they were hard at work on the boat, I stayed in the kitchen, making Jacob's 8th birthday cake ( 8? How did that happen?). He wanted a Megazord (a thing from Power Rangers). I spent all afternoon making it. When he came in he said, "Oh, and could it have towers behind it and Lego's made out of candy, and...."). I told him, "Go work on the boat, Jacob."
