Yesterday afternoon we walked over to the pond with Mary Ann, Nickolas & Annalise. We started by feeding the ducks at the gazebo then made it all the way around the pond. The boys walked or ran the whole time! And the girls did a great job trying to keep up with their brothers.
Annalise, Mary Ann & Nickolas
Taking a break from walking to do a bit of hanging.
Running with her duck.
Annalise took one Jillian's ducks for a walk too.
Really wanted something to stay on the end of his fishing pole.
Trying to get a group photo in the tree.
The boys "fishing" together.
Walking along the wall together.
Wesley really loved this cute little duck/bird...he was a really great diver.
He wanted his picture with the duck.

- Using DBAN.org to erase and overwrite (with randomized data) the HDD of computer we are returning to Costco. 3hrs in and 21 hrs to go. @myen #

- Amazing how building a few cube walls can rile up so many people. Even those who aren't affected. They are just fabric people, chill out! #
- Wes is ok that there are unanswered questions about Deinonychus: "I can't be a paleontologist because I'm going to be a scuba diver". #

It is so great now that the weather has cooled off! We spent hours in the backyard on Friday. During the summer, we are not able to spend much time outside without the kids getting too hot. We had such a great time outside that Wesley did not want us to stop!
Redmond jumping up to catch the ball.
Wesley throwing the football to Amber.
Joshua and Wesley play with the football.
Then Joshua tossed and Wesley tried to catch.
Then we moved up to the railing...
Zerbers!!!
Let the jumping begin!
Now Wesley's turn on the railing.
Jillian can fly.
Hello from way up there.
Wesley jumps to Joshua.
Joshua's turn!
