Finally!!!

After 5 cancellations and rescheduling's...we FINALLY made it back to Jellystone! I swear the trip is not meant to be! We started off the long weekend with Walker being born! Hooray for Aunt Christy and her good timing...we all got to meet our new little man on the way to the park Friday morning! He is absolutely perfect and we are all completely in love with the newest member of the family! Walker's birth meant Gaga & Papa only being able to come with us to Jellystone for one day but we changed plans easily and are so happy Walker is finally here!

We were fortunate enough to get one of the brand new cabins and it did not disappoint! Fans and working a/c in every room, a nice big shower, a huge loft and even a leather couch! This is my kind of camping!!! After checking in we hit the pool, mini golf and bikes. The kids had an absolute ball enjoying the very uncrowded park!! Luke was elated to be tall enough for all of the waterslides this time around and we finished off our first night with fishing, a campfire dinner and smores!

Saturday Gaga & Papa joined us for a full day of fun! They brought Luke all of his birthday gifts as well as an awesome Star Wars cake! We spent the first part of the day enjoying the pool and slides...and then the rain came! Holy cow did it come...we were absolutely poured on! All said and done we got almost 7 inches of rain in 20 hours! Gaga & Papa headed home and left us in mudville USA! Packing the car in the pouring rain Sunday am was not my idea of fun but the kids haven't stopped talking about Jellystone so I'm gonna say it was a success!!!

Back on the fields...




Click on Luke for more pics!!!
Fall sports have arrived and once again I live on a field of some form! Luke is playing his last season of t-ball and really doing well! It's like everything finally clicked and he knows where to throw to, how to run, how to slide, he's hitting every time and all around doing great! Watching his team is one of my favorite activities...one minute they look like little ball players hitting and fielding and the next they are sitting on the field, drawing their names in the dirt and asking how much longer till snack!!!Brian and Matt are playing football again but we have moved them up to the next step...extreme flag football. They are now the proud owners of over $400 worth of equipment and having a ball! They wear helmets and pads in this league. They can block and shove, but not tackle! Since we practice these activities 24/7 around here they are doing awesome at this take on football! Brian generally plays quarterback and Moose is on the line. It is so neat to see them understanding so much about a sport and having so much fun with it! I have resumed my life of sitting in a chair cheering for my guys and loving my life as a Mom of these guys!!!
