Random Summer Pictures

Can't believe Summer is coming to an end.  Here are some random Summer pictures as well as some pictures from the Zoo and Wheeler Farm.

We love member nights at the zoo.  It is not crowded at all and it is a great way to spend the evening.  Here are some pictures from the zoo.

 

 

 

 

The tigers were really active this evening which was cool to see.

 

Wheeler Farm - We had some old bread that needed to be fed to the ducks and geese and we like going to the Sunday Farmer's Market at Wheeler Farm.  Here are some pictures from Wheeler Farm.



 

Here is Kallen set up in the Costco shopping cart eating a hot dog.  It was his nap time but he still wanted to go to Costco to get a hot dog so he had quite the set up in the cart while I did some shopping and then he got his hot dog.

 



Johnny and I played volleyball a few weeks ago and our friend Taunzia played and had her baby there.  Abby has a couple dogs so she is not afraid and crawled right up on top of Hobie.  Of course Hobie is used to having kids crawl all over him and didn't mind a bit.

 Crazy hair day! 

 Falling asleep holding on to his dinosaur necklace that Grandma made for him!

Not a bad drawing of Ironman for a 4 year old!  Better than what I could do.

I couldn't get this picture the right way even after saving a copy of it.  Oh well, here is Kallen after his dentist appointment.  Not a good appointment.  I hate the dentist too so I don't blame the child.  He has his mothers gag reflex whom I got from my mother so to start of with trying to get his bite wing x-rays set the mood for the rest of the appointment.  No good!  I think next time we will start with the cleaning and then try x-rays.

 I am so glad he doesn't mind getting his ears wet.  He was laying in the bathtub for a long time with his ears under the water.  It also amazes me how long he looks in the tub.

Here is Kallen posing for a picture at a volleyball tournament in Park City.

He loves his Iron Man masks that he got for his birthday.  He had costume day at school and really wanted to be Hulk Smash but who is going to have costumes in July!  He had to settle for his horse costume from last Halloween.  At least it still fit, only problem was that it is not meant for 100 degree weather.  The following weekend we were at Costco and of course they had Halloween costumes already.  Johnny and I looked at each other and laughed because of course they would already have them, they didn't have Hulk Smash but they did have Iron Man so I guess Kallen has his costume for Halloween already.

 Went to Bella's birthday party at Classic Fun Center.  He had a blast.  We weren't prepared to stay and go on the waterslides but we did.  They were actually a lot of fun and pretty fast. 

 

A nice picture of Hobie.  He actually ended up coming to work with me this day.  For some reason he thought he was already going and this was the look he gave me when I tried to leave.  How could I leave him behind.

 A big chocolate ice cream cone Kallen made at school. 

A couple pictures from t-ball.  Unfortunately there were only 3 teams in the league so they generally had at least one bye a week, but they still had practice so it turned out to be a good thing because they actually learned how to play the game through practice.  Kallen had much more fun at t-ball this Summer than he did last Summer.

While Johnny was in San Diego I had to run a volleyball tournament so Kallen and Hobie got to come along.  Here is Kallen drinking out of Hobie's water bowl like a dog.  Of course I didn't tell him to stop I just took a picture :)

Haning out in his tent getting ready to take a nap.

Oregon Trip July 2012

Just 9 days after Kallen and Johnny got home from San Diego Kallen was off again with me to Oregon.  What a traveler the little guy is.  He has already been on 21 round trip air plane rides, 1 cruise, and 6 road trips over 4 hours long.

Here are some pictures from our trip to Oregon.

Every Monday during the Summer the City of Aumsville has a free 2 hour day camp for kids.  It includes story time, snacks, craft time, game time, art time, and free time on the play ground.  At the end they get a free book or two as well.  We were able to go and Kallen wasn't having too good of a time until they started playing games.  He ended up having a good time.

My little water boy!  Unfortunately we were busy or it was cold so Kallen only got to go down to the creek one day.  He had other times he got to play in the water but only one walk to the creek.

 Here Kallen is driving the lawn mower all by himself.  Back in May Grandpa put him on the mower in 1st gear and it was obviously too slow for him because Kallen knocked it in to a higher gear to go faster.  Kallen did a pretty good job steering the mower in a straight line.

We took a road trip to Sisters to see Grammy.  We went to lunch and then went to a park where the kids (Uncle Mike included) were able to play around.  Here is a picture in front of her place.

While in Central Oregon we stopped to see some friends who had just built a house.  Here is Kallen and Jessica posting for a picture with their dog.

We also took a trip to the coast with Grandma.  We had lunch at the Chowder Bowl in Depoe Bay, our favorite clam chowder ever since I was a kid!  Here are some pictures from the beach.  It wasn't exactly warm but that didn't stop Kallen from playing in the ocean especially since he is used to the beaches in San Diego.

We also spent an afternoon at Silver Creek Falls.  Here are some pictures of our short walk to one of the falls and then again playing in the water.  Did I mention that Kallen is a water boy.  Again, the water was kind of chilly but that did not keep him from submerging.

Kallen got to spend lots of time with his cousin.  Almost everyday he got to play with her.  They had a great time together.  Jessica learned a lot of from Kallen during the week, like how to call me Mommy all week, how to stand up on the swing.  Lots of things I am sure her parents love.

Here is Kallen showing Jessica his dinosaur book that Grandma put together for him from our trip to the zoo last Summer and their trip to Prehistoric gardens in May.

Nap time, even I was caught napping, but hey, I was on vacation.
