Family Fun

We went to the park a few weeks ago and had so much fun. Most of the time I find a place to sit and keep an eye on the kids, but this time Jared and I played with the kids. We got on the swings and had a little competition...Jared won.

Then we got the kids to RACE!!! They had to climb up and go over the rope and then run to the slide and whoever got to the bottom of the slide first won.

Ellie didn't ever win, I don't think she knew she was racing Carter.



Hailey and Court took turns winning.



This picture is hilarious!!!!


On Sunday I had to take a few pictures of an interesting object for a class project and here is what I chose.

We went out before and I didn't get all the pictures that I needed so we had to go back. Court HAD to bring his camera too and was so excited to get some pictures. This place was so fun for the kids. Jared stayed in the car with Ellie while she took a nap and Hailey, Court and Carter ran around and found all sorts of treasures. I never thought that an abandoned house could be so fun!!! It was only a little dangerous since there was broken glass EVERYWHERE!!!


A few of the treasures....they found lots more.

My only regret is that I kept telling the kids to get out of the picture so I could get a shot of the house. I only got them in a few shots.
They keep asking when we can go back!!!!

That looks like so much to be outside! I have spring fever so bad. It hits 40 here and the kids act like it's summer. Swinging on swings is so much fun! It seems to make the stresses of life go away for awhile! What class are you taking? The house looks like a fun adventure.

That park looks so fun!!! And I would have totally ate up that abandoned house as a kid:) I love that they keep asking to go back - too funny. Hey i need to call you, but I wondered if I can get a vinyl order going... I'll call you tomorrow.

I love the pic of you and Hailey, she looks SO MUCH like you! Your old shack looks like a very interesting photog subject. I can't wait to take advantage of all you have learned when you take our fam pics!
