Well we got home from vacation and Cole was out on his bike, when it rains here on the Street we get alot of overflow water from Sand Creek which is behind our house, luckily even the worst of worst storms has not seen water get in our yard, but on an adjacent street there are huge puddles which Cole finds a great opportunity to get wet in.
Cole was not Happy about reading time
With Grandma Jane
The Lilly Pads, they spent hours doing these....Anna is not pictured directly but she and Cole did great.
1000 gallons of water dumped every 5 minutes, you can see Anna on the left and Cole on the right.
Three Person Tube
Anna going down the Green Monster by herself after she fell off and slammed her head and got smashed by the two man tube with her DAD, she told her Dad that when you fall off the horse you get back on and ride again.....very tough little girl!
Anna and Cole have been so excited for their Dad's birthday. We have been planning for weeks what kind of cake to make for Dad and what gifts to get him. We made and decorated a cake and took it his work to celebrate. Anna made her Dad a book that she made and Cole gave his Dad a sweatshirt that he won in a drawing. I think they were the perfect gifts for him.
We went to Spencer Farms to pick strawberries. Anna and I enjoyed picking strawberries. Cole picked one strawberry and then began complaining about how hot it was (it was only 80 degrees) and how thirsty he was. We have enjoyed eating fresh strawberries all week.

Lori ran the half marathon. It was impressive to be 5 1/2 months pregnant and to finish in under 2 hours. This is baby girl's first race. Good job, Lori.
We have enjoyed watching a robin lay her eggs in a nest that was against our house. We have watched them go from blue eggs, to new birds. Just this week they flew away. The reason that they flew away is because Anna and Dad got too close to the nest and scared them. Corbin spent the next hour trying to catch them in a ice cream bucket and yelling at Anna and Cole to keep Polly in the house so she did not eat them while he tried to put the birds back in the nest while dodging every robin, cardinal and swallow in the neighborhood doing kamakazis at his head. He was unsuccessful in his quest to keep the growing birds in their nests. (hope they survived) He got no lunch and had to go back to work, but Lori enjoyed the free entertainment.
