Just Hangin' Around

Picnics on the back deck...

and the front driveway.

A friendly little game of baseball.

Aunt Heidi makes pitching look gooood!

Helping Grandpa sort and count his big jar of coins. Their special treat for helping? Grandpa divided the money from the jar amongst them - $35 each! Not too shabby for about 1/2 an hour of work. I asked him why he hadn't included me in this activity!

Running around the park one cool afternoon.

Playing catch with Grandpa.

Making bracelets with Grandma.

Arm wrestling with Grandpa. Xander was confident he could easily win.

Sorry, Xander, did you forget? Grandpa has a personal trainer!

How to Train Your Dragon 2. We all loved it, especially Ciara who had about 50 dum dum suckers from me throughout the movie.

Potion making?

Wagon rides. Doesn't Noah look like he belongs in the jungles of Vietnam?

Other fun activities included watching tons of World Cup games, playing the Wii, reading Dorrie books, playing dress up, playing games, running around the backyard, and having tons and tons of fun with cousins and Grandma and Grandpa!
