Fun With Emmy

My youngest sister Emily was here visiting from Austin. That's why it's been so long since I've posted. We've been busy, busy, busy! We had lots of fun. Hear are some of the highlights:

a Fourth of July parade:


Sparklers:Bottle rockets with a homemade pvc pipe launcher:

A full family kickball game, with captains and team pictures and everything!




We were The Orange Pirates and Sam was our captain.
The Green Polka-Dot Cubs had Jack as their captain:Hmmm...both captains chose their dads first. I, on the other hand, was one of the last to be picked!
Everyone's favorite scene:A new area was open called the Biosphere:Just like the Slip in the Slide, the older and bigger you get, the smaller the size of the museum gets, according to my nephew Jack.

A picnic at Kent Park...with lots and lots of cookies: ...and ding dongs.
Lots of slides:
