Catching up

Now that we have been home from "vacation" for 3 weeks I suppose I should catch up on what we've been doing. Really we haven't been doing much. We go to the pool almost every day. Since it has been really hot we stay inside a lot.

Last week we attended Heath's company's Family Summer Party. We went to a place called Power Play. It was basically a huge arcade (a nicer version of Chuck E. Cheese.) It was fun and the kids had a great time but it is not a place I would ever pay to take my kids to. I was amazed at how well the kids did. The place was VERY noisy. Connor, who hates noise, didn't want to leave. They were able to play the arcade games an unlimited number of times. AT the end I found a little horse for Emmett to ride and at the end he would say "again". I think the ride was about 2 minutes long and he rode it for about 15 minutes.  I took him off when he started to get drowsy. I could just see him falling asleep on it and falling right off. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures because I forgot to take my camera.

This weekend we celebrated Dillon's 4th Birthday. He got new shark and dragon toys which he LOVES! To celebrate we took everyone to see Ice Age: Continental Drift and then we went to dinner at Applebee's. It was a fun day and was great to see Dilly so happy. Here are a few pictures.
