Parades, Weddings, the Zoo and a Frog

.Pay attention folks, lots of pictures, lots of activities, please keep up.
I have some very...
...beatutiful ladies...
...in my life.
Now, back to our trip to the park. This thing in the park was supposed to rock back and forth. Sid didn't mind how many people were in it, he just knew he could get it going. I love the kid's optimism.
And he was positive he could get this little machine to work.
Okay, I may need a little help with this one.
And no family picnic would be right without some arguements. Here, Soph is hugging Sid as an apology for whatever he may have done.
Then, she attacks me from behind with a baggie full of PB&J sandwiches.
Lots of kids do swim lessons during the summer.
We're gonna get Sid some swinging lessons.
Sophia has mastered the leg tackle.
Korri and Sophia went to the zoo with a group of Moms and kids the other day. They got to see the circle of life up close.
How good would the picture look if all the kids were paying attention?
As you see, the other kids are sort of impressed with the fake elephant. Sophia, not so much.
She did like having Ian push her stroller.
And going down the slide with Mommy.
And playing in the sprinkler when she got home.
She has also started to want to put on her own clothes.
We have a little bit of work to do on that subject.
But eventually she almost gets it right.
She really likes it when Sid plays with her. Here, she talked him into playing "we're asleep". We had to get all excited every time they woke up.
At the Snake River Rodeo stampede, Sid and Sophia were given the award for the best loud HI, usually said after the person/horse was safely past.
The best coordinated photo we could get of them dressed up for a wedding reception we went to for one of Korri's former students.
Caught in the act of a flick.
This was the frog who'd taken up residence in our backyard pond. He would serenade just outside our bedroom window. I captured him humanely, and you'll have to tune in again to find out what happened to him or her, I didn't check.
We had a pretty good week, finally getting to spend some time just hanging out as a family

The kids are doing great, and at times play so well together that it makes you think they might get along on a permanent basis. Then you blink, someone is screaming, the other one is looking around, like, "What just happened?" Honestly, we're having a great time. Please keep praying for us, we need it.
