In August we went up to my parents ranch for a weekend with the entire family. It is one of the few times that all 6 cousins were in the same place at the same time! With my niece off to college in Irvine it is hard to get all the kids together as she is gone at school most of the year. But we did get some great shots of the 6 of them playing around. You can see them below.
We went to the Sacramento State Fair and had a blast. Luckily it has been a rather mild summer so the day we went it was not too hot out. The kids had a blast. They are now old enough/tall enough to ride some of the rides all by themselves - which they love! We cruised around the barn areas and saw all the animals. We went to the "livestock" area to see fish, baby animals, all kinds of stuff. We ate everything that you shouldn't eat! My Dad and Mom even tried the latest food trend at the fair; chocolate covered bacon. Eeewww!! We saw the dinasour exhibit and that was pretty cool - Wyatt loved it but it scared Teagan a little.
Teagan really loves to paint and color. She always asks me to paint...and most of the time I say no because you see what happens when I leave them for 20 minutes to paint outside by themselves while I vacuum the house...it takes me another 20 minutes to get them cleaned up!
They have also discovered commercials. The other day they were watching their morning cartoons and they came into the kitchen going on and on about going to the "bouncy place." Well I had no clue what they were talking about until a couple of days later Wyatt comes tearing into my room to pull me to the TV where I see a commercial for "Sky Zone". It is a trampoline place in Roseville. So we HAD to go!! They really had a great time and were totally fearless. Now they ask to go back almost everyday.
Our last field trip consisted of a trip to the Citrus Heights Police Station. The kids are just starting to get police, police cars, fire men, fire trucks, etc. A woman in the Moms group organized a trip to the station so we went. The kids were in awe, but I have to say, their favorite part would be a toss up between the K-9 dog unit and watching the dogs do drills, and the motorcycles. Wyatt LOVED the motorcycles and of course touched all the buttons and siren! Scared us all to death! Man, that siren is loud when you are right next to it. And yes, it illicits the same response even when you know your kid turned it on! LOL
