Margo Frankel Woods State Park

We met up this morning with at least 12 of our friends.  We were the only ones at Margo Frankel Woods State Park and we had a great time.

Aiden and Parker both liked the little zip line while Gail was helping them across.

Emery overseeing his kingdom!

Aiden got brave enough that he did the zip line all by himself many times.

 
Emery sure loves to swing.

The big boys do to!

First Lost Tooth

I woke up this morning and I had lost a tooth, well, actually, I'm pretty sure I ate it!  I hope the tooth fairy will accept a picture and a letter explaining what happened!

Playing with Grandma Jo

Emery loves the slide.

Emery loves the freedom of playing all around outside.

Swimming Lessons

Aiden is really starting to swim! Aiden in the one closet to the camera in the group in the middle of the pool


Aiden had the chance to dive into the deep end for the first time, and he didn't bat an eyelash.  He was so excited!

Baseball

Emery loves putting rocks on the slide.

Parker, in the green hat, practicing grounders before the game.

Aiden has a great stance.

Emery doesn't spend much time watching.

Parker running to second.

Not paying too much attention to who's batting.

Seriously, Aiden aims for the fence every time.

Perhaps, he needs to work on running a little faster next time.

Aiden does make for a good first baseman.  The boys really enjoy baseball!

Bunnies

Look at these 5 little bunnies we found in a small burrow in our front yard.  We love checking them out and seeing how they are doing.  We try not to scare them, but we are three little boys.....

Baseball

Parker and Aiden are playing Bam Bam baseball.  Aiden is on the Cubs and Parker is on the Reds.  Parker giving his coach a HIGH five on first base.

Aiden likes to take lots of practice swings before hitting it out of the park.

Yep, made it to first.

Emery was really distracting Grandma Jo, but having a great time!

Grimes Governor's Day

Waiting for the parade to start!


Yep, we still have the 'candy' wave down!

Mommy and Emery watching the parade.

After the parade, we rode our bikes over to the fire station to check out all of their equipment.  Here we are in an ambulance.

Here we are on the fire truck ready for a fire!

Now, Parker is driving the fire truck.

There is so much excitement!

Aiden decided to climb onto the back of the firetruck.

This little truck had just enough room on the front for us.

Mommy got into this ambulance with us.  We had a great morning checking out out town as a family.

Doctor's Appointment

We sure know how to keep ourselves occupied at the ENT's office - bring a StarWars book!  FYI, Parker and Emery's tubes are still looking good and working.

Jumping

Emery sure likes to jump.

Swimming Lessons

Emery had a remedy for how loud the pool is.

Swimming lessons can be exhausting!

A Day In Ames

We met up with Uncle Mike and Aunt Emily and Holden and Leah at Reiman Gardens to spend some family time running around Ames.  We had a great time showing Holden all of the different things at Reiman Gardens.

We all enjoyed watching the waterfall.

Mommy with all of the Broadston cousins.

Mommy and Emery

Emery is getting so good at just watching the butterflies.

Checking out the large butterflies with Daddy.




After Rieman Gardens, we ate at Hickory Park and then headed over to the bowling alley for our first time bowling!

It was a close game of bumper bowling, but Mom still won.  What a great day!
