Summer Fun

We love swimming in our pool 

Corben lost another tooth (his sixth one), we are now calling him a jack-o-latern 

Fun times at a birthday party 

Morning bike rides and then water fun at the splash pad 





Special treat to go to the movies...we saw Minions.

LEGOLAND

We surprised the kids for a day at Legoland! 












Corben driving the big course- last time we came here they were too young for this ride. 
Mason taking off in her car 



Our family was in the fire engine and we put the fire out the fastest!  Good thing we were with a pro! 
That time Corben was tall enough to ride in a boat by himself....and he really wanted to....so we let him.....and then he freaked out and couldn't get the boat going and a worker had to jump in with him.....yes, that happened. 
   

We only waited in a few lines, and when we did, the kids played with legos. 


Mason's masterpiece 
Hard to see, at the shooting game....and guess who won?!  Kathleen!

It was a great day at Legoland....and because it was hot....we decided to adventure into the waterpark.
...
Wish we had more pictures of the waterpark, but didn't go well with our phone/cameras.
We all loved the waterpark!  We explored as a family, rode some big slides, relaxed on the lazy river and had a GREAT time! 
Probably one of the my favorite pictures of them together!





Newport Beach Day #5 Balboa Island

Another great start with a bike ride and walk 

I went and had coffee with Sally Grasse (a childhood friend and college roomie)
We had a great talk, love how with some friends you can just pick up where you left off! 
Loved this doorway and made the kids smile! 


Then we decided to take an adventurous (or should I say tortuous) way to Balboa Island.  Our bike wasn't working properly and we lasted a few blocks and then turned it in and walked the rest of the way.
Tourist move= fail 
Ferry ride to Balboa Island 

Papa John, Meme and Paul kept their bike and carried all the kids 
Enjoying ice cream 


....enjoyed a little shopping! 

Caleb and Uncle John....we walked awhile and then took an uber back to the house



Love the heart we made! 
The older cousins walked to a local bar and enjoyed a drink and some laughs and many stories from cousin Ryan!
