What we do for fun around here!

Despite being strangers in a strange land, we do manage to have a good time! Here are some of the fun things we have done:

We were invited to dinner at a new friends house!

They had a cat and Marian spent most of the evening playing with it. Rylee was brave enough to touch the kitty-cat and I love her face in this picture!

We took a ferry ride and went to the Aquarium on Labor Day!

Nothing says fun like Dancing on the ferry!

I was trying to get a picture of Callie and this is what Joshua did! Silly boy! This picture cracks me up every time I see it.

Despite his antics Joshua is a great kid and it was so sweet to see him helping Rylee see the fish.

Yep, that's my crew. Totally out of control and having a ball.

Joshua thought he was sooooo funny. Callie and that grin are my favorite. And as soon as I finished taking the picture, Marian was trying to climb on his head.

They got to pet the sting rays.

The play area was a big hit. Delaney was so pleased with herself for finding a new way to go down the slide.

Rylee also discovered a new way to go down the slide.

The play area was fun for everyone, although all my children needed to be reminded that not everything must be climbed.

This Hurricane Simulator looked interesting. After seeing several other people go in it, the kids really wanted to try it. It was $2, and we stuffed 3 children in it, so it was a good deal! The kids loved it! (And it sure was fun to watch.)

They had to have their pictures taken "underwater".

Even Rylee got into it. Her bigger siblings take good care of her!

Did I mention that my children all feel the need to climb up on EVERYTHING?!

This is us, waiting for the ferry back.

What's this, and introspective Marian? It was a good day at the Aquarium, and it didn't start raining till we had 2 blocks to go to the car!

We went to a new fun park.

I walked to a new park today with the little girls. They loved it. This tire swing was very exciting till Rylee fell off.

Delaney loved this part and Rylee thought they were for riding on. Lots of giggles by all.

Rylee would have been content to do this all day.

I have to take the big kids next time. There were lots and lots of things to climb on! Delaney had so much fun climbing on the net!

Marian makes her own fun.

Marian loves this sculpture in the chiropractor's office. She wanted a picture with it, so I obliged.
