Swimming

Michael had a make-up soccer game last night. Apparently it was not at the school where it normally is and was at some undisclosed location, so we missed it. Michael was sad, so we decided to go swimming (which makes everything better you know)

Even though it was after 6:00 it was still 98 degrees here. They loved splashing around!

I love my three musketeers--they are best buds. They choose to play with eachother even with other fun kids around. I love it.

My Froggies.

Chasing Birds. One of the funnest things to do. Never gets boring.

They they all take of and fly. One of my favorite things about taking the kids swimming is watching them "fly" back to the car.

Trampolines=Craziness

The cutest kids on the planet! They love to jump on their trampoline. It can be anytime of year--they absolutely can't get enough!

Silly

Silliness!

Craziness

They love jumping

Sadly, about two minutes after this, they all collided (Olivia has a huge bump on her forehead) and trampoline time had to end. But tomorrow it will begin again....

PARK day!

Okay, us Duncans we love to go to the park--fun equipment to play on, new friends to make, and beautiful views! Princess Olivia--what a beautiful girl:)

The boys plotting.....

Olivia and the crazy swing....

Michael being crazy!

Still going round and round--Olivia is so fantabulous!

Da Boys:)

Love this guy!

So much fun--then we come home all tired out!!

What a beautiful world;)

I don't know if it is my artistic side of me, or just because I love this beautiful world! But, I am always seeing awesome textures, colors, and things I think would be great pictures. Here a few from a recent trip to the park....

SO MANY beautiful things all around us!

Ronald McDonald

This week we went to the park to meet Ronald McDonald--our library was having a fun summer reading program activity with good old Ronald McDonald. My kids were excited to see him, they had never met him before. Makes me remember going to birthday parties when I was younger at McDonald's--Ronald McDonald was always there! Olivia and Michael got a picture with him--Isaac--was NOT going near him!

By the way, Michael only got a picture with Ronald McDonald because he told Michael he could do a magic trick with him afterwards. Michael loved it!

Ronald McDonald made one ball in Michael's hand turn into 4--All of the kids were way IMPRESSED! Ronald McDonald also talked about how to treat books and the library. The kids also got a new book at the end. They had a blast!! Then we headed to the park and ate snow cones for lunch! My kids were so excited for such a special treat before lunch! A good day:)
