Still Loving Summer

Sid especially liked sleeping in once he got this great handmade pillowcase/sleeping bag from our friend Peggy.
The boys playing a game of frisby, Sophia riding around in a tutu.
Nampa has this great fountain downtown. At the end of summer, we finally got down there to let the kids play.


We took a trip to Roaring Springs water park to reward Sid for some good potty training. It also celebrated "Gotcha Day", the day we went and got the kids from Adis.

We also let the kids stay up late and gave them some presents.


Some of the couples in our church put on an annual event called the "Tent Pitch". Korri thought we should get the kids used to camping, and this turned out to be the perfect setting.




the first night, Sophia didn't settle in well at all. There were also lots of kids there who didn't go down for naps. Sophia fought it for as long as possible, but eventually fell asleep. I, on the other hand, am looking highly alert...I think.
Korri shows off just how she came to be married to me.
Of course all the activities were safe and well supervised.
Gourmet meals were served.
Sid and many of the kids redirected the flow of the river with all the rocks they threw.
Best of all, the kids got to spend some quality time together.
Sophia loves sour cream.
Typical day poolside. All quiet, no problems.
Then a fight over a cup.
Then hug and make up.
We all got involved in some good natured water fighting.


But in the end, Sophia let us all know just who was in charge. Got your tickets?
