More soccer! Emma and Jake have been doing it so long, I guess I just enjoyed their games and didn't take pictures. It's a little newer with Lucas, and his personality is so fun to watch out there (unless he's been knocked down...) He loves to kick the ball, give high-fives and fist-bumps to the goal makers, and it melted my heart when a little girl fell over, and he stopped kicking the ball and bent down where she was to ask if she was ok! Such a sweetheart!
Anyone who's seen Big Hero 6 will love this fist bump after he scored a goal!
Lucas is the first small one on the left.
Emma's team struggled a bit, but still had some fun. Her kicks are starting to get a bit stronger, and she's got some hustle in her! On the last game, not enough players showed up, so Jake got on all his soccer stuff and helped them out. He's in a more competitive league that actually has practices, and he got out there scored a goal, and worked well with Emma and the others even though he was nervous about being 3 years younger. It was awesome to watch him move the ball around all those older kids!
Emma and I took a break from all these boys and went to watch the new Aladdin. The original will always be my favorite, but the new one was still pretty good and fun to watch. Then we watched the fountain show at the village for a little bit.
Most of our summer has been spent at Roaring Springs, with few pictures to show it because my phone's not going near the water... The line for a slide happened to be super short as we were leaving, so Emma did a quick run so now I've got a slide picture! Emma's been my slide buddy, and we sneak off for an hour before the close (when it's the slowest) and just go on all the slides we can! Jake is starting to venture out and try some of the bigger slides, so he's starting to join our slide nights. I love that they're getting older and more fun to do these things with!
Lizzy got a sore or wasp bite or something? on her paw and wouldn't stop licking it. She was not so thrilled with my makeshift protective barrier, and Lucas thought it was funny that she was running around in his sock. Lucas -- always giving us little medical frights -- kept clearing his throat more than normal for about a week, and then started doing this weird twitch (and all the time, not only with eating). So I took him in, and they were thinking epiglottitis and almost sent us to the ER, but luckily we did an xray and things looked normal. So, we were sent home to be on the lookout, went to our regular Dr who thinks it may just be a childhood tick that he should outgrow. Luckily it started fading out, and he only does it every once in a while... Thanks Luke.
Quick trip down to Twin Falls for Christopher's birthday party at Tubb's Berry Farms.
The kids loved petting and feeding goats and baby pigs, and running around the farm playing games.
Cow Train with the cousins!
Saying hello's to Angela's bird Jellybean. None of the kids wanted it on their shoulders for very long!
Dairy Day Parade in Meridian. Lots of people, moderate amount of candy, and three happy kids.
