Today started off with Mary here (she and Bekah watched 4 movies during their time together!), transitioned to Bekah going to Molly’s house, then getting Josiah so we could go to “The Last Airbender”, and finishing up with Josiah sleeping over. Ashley got home from Mason Lake in the afternoon and had a fantastic time away celebrating Kiersten’s 14th b’day.

Mary spent the day with us today. The girls enjoyed time at the park, playing pla-dough and in the yard where they found many raspberries, strawberries and carrots. Wow! The garden is producing!

Saturday evening we had the Mansfields and Fisker-Andersons over for BBQ chicken and salmon. Pretty good dinner and great company. Kids played outside and adults chatted before starting a game of Farkle.

Thursday brought a park day social with the home school group “Homeschooling His Way”. Always fun to get together with these ladies and their kids. Spent 2 hours there before heading home, grabbing lunch for 5 kids (Chloe came home with us, plus Ash, Bek, Jordan, & Josiah) and running off to Bekah’s last gymnastics session for the year.
And Happy Anniversary to my amazing grandparents who celebrate 65 years of marriage today! Love you so much!

Jordan throws rocks, Bekah hits the water
Starlight event for the Last Airbender movie
On the 3rd day of summer we went down to Seattle and enjoyed some time at Greenlake together. We arrived about an hour early for the Starlight event and played soccer in a drained wading pool (in background of above picture) and then walked around the lake a little. At 3:00 it was time for the Starlight event where the kids were provided with materials to make kites. They all had lots of fun and look forward to the sneak peak of the movie 5/29.

The Regal Cinemas free summer movies have started and we have 3 theaters within 10 miles to choose from which all show different movies. This week we picked “The Spy Next Door” down at Northgate Mall. Bad attitudes within the movie gave way to a pretty good flick.
Let Summer 2010 Begin!

Jordan with horse Mahon and therapist, Sarah
With the end of the school year coming on the first day of summer, we were on the hunt for some fun entertainment today.
Church friend, Josiah, spent the afternoon with us and as soon as Jordan was off the bus we headed for the Eastside and Little Bit Therapeutic Riding Center’s dressage horse show.
We took a walk along a trail and then headed to a local park which had a lake where the kids had a great time throwing rocks and working at skipping them.
Summer is off to a great start!
