Heritage Festival

This weekend our town had it's annual heritage festival.  It was fun to see all the demonstrations and activities.  The boys painted pictures, made rope and ground corn.

Alpaca Farm

We went on a tour of a local alpaca farm.  The boys got to pet and feed alpacas, goats, chickens and a goose.  Their favorite part was going on a crazy tractor ride.  The driver raised and lowered the bucket and the boys would scream and laugh.

Farm Tours

Last weekend we went on a tour of a couple local farms.  The boys loved picking their own veggies, going on a wagon ride, a cucumber scavenger hunt and making smores.  It was a very fun day.

First Day of School 2014

Today is the first day of school.  Cole starts kindergarten and Trevor is in 3rd.  Cole was so excited.  He will be in all day kindergarten so he helped pack his lunch and get his back pack ready.  Trevor was a little more nervous.  There are 15 boys and 5 girls in his class.  He has his own desk this year so he is excited to put his supplies in there.  So far the school has been very organized and everyone is friendly.  It is going to be a great school year.

Seattle Aquarium and the Gum Wall

Today we went to the Seattle Aquarium and the Gum Wall.  The boys enjoyed seeing downtown Seattle for the first time.  It started out a little rainy but quickly cleared up so we were able to eat lunch outside on the water and watch the boats.

 The gum wall was very interesting.  It was a much larger section of wall then I expected.  I was surprised that some people got creative and wrote their names or messages with gum as well as faces and other things.

Driving Go Karts

Trevor was invited to a birthday party at Coconut Bowl this weekend so while he partied we went out and drove the Go Karts.  Cole was able to drive the small ones himself and then got to ride with Daddy in the big ones.
