The Grand Canyon

We finally did it, we visited the Grand Canyon! It started off a few months back when our friend Mike suggested to Curt that they need to hike down. Curt said, "sure, that sounds fun". Mike said, " we will do a round trip, it is only 17 miles". I said, " Curt, are you crazy"! Well you guessed it, Curt was crazy and they did it, without getting hurt, only some sore muscles. I even think they want to do it again next year, with their boys! Luke thinks there is gold at the bottom so he is excited to give it a try, I told Curt he better bring something to throw in the water so Luke doesn't get upset. The kids had so much fun camping, our camp sites were awesome! I didn't get much sleep, I guess I am not used to hearing the great outdoors, I am, however use to the AC running all night long. The Grand Canyon is beautiful but I did come away from this experience that I am afraid of heights, especially with my kids being near the edge! We all had alot of fun.

The Red Ryder

Luke has been asking us for over a year when can he get a BB gun. I told him he can get one when he is 12, Curt said we will think about it. Last month Curt took the boys to the Father and Son campout and almost all the boys up there had a BB gun and Luke told me he felt leftout because all of his friends had one. I said we will think about it, Curt asked him how much money do you have saved up. Luke had enough money and his dad took him to Walmart to buy the Red Ryder, yes it is the same gun from the movie, " Christmas Story". We love that movie and I think that is where Luke got the idea of getting a BB gun. Anyways, when they had it in their cart some guy saw it and said, "You'll shoot your eye out", That is in the movie and it did happen. Luke can only shoot the gun when dad is around to supervise.

Last day of Preschool

At preschool they do a moving up ceremony for the little ones who still have 1 more year of preschool. Max was really excited to be a part of it because he got to sing one of his favorite songs called, "ABC ROCK". They get these little plastic guiters and jam on them singing the song, very cute!
