Six Pix on Saturday

My sister and her kids came to visit us on Thursday. Her husband is working in North Dakota, too, and they are staying about thirty miles away from us. We went to the ice-cream shop Scoopz and ate lunch and ice-cream.

 

Some of the cupcakes I made for the boy's party. The suckers are supposed to be balloons.

 

One of the presents the boys got was a Ninja Turtle art kit. They had so much fun painting and using the stickers!

 

Mercie helped Titus with his Cuisenaire rods this week.

 

Mercie wrote her name in hieroglyphics this week. There was no "C" so she had to use an "S".

 

Silas is learning to read words ending in -at, so these letter tiles and cards have been a fun addition to his day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Six Pix on Saturday

 

Silas turned 6 on Tuesday, and we went to a little place called Scoopz for ice cream and lunch after swimming lessons.

 

 

Titus and his new friend, Saylor, playing with play-dough outside our camper. They are up here working, too. It's nice to have new friends!

 

 

Silas is learning to use a noodle and kick his legs in swimming lessons.

 

 

On Sunday, there were horse and wagon rides here at the park! Rod took Silas, Titus and Mercie.

 

 

The kids slept on the futon one night and watched "Treasure Buddies".

 

 

Before swimming lessons, we snapped a group selfie!

 

 

 

 

 

Six Pix Saturday

I thought it would be fun to have a Six Pix Saturday! I'll post six pictures from the week with a short caption. Anyone care to join me? I could make it a linky party!

This isn't from this week, so I'm cheating a little, but I wanted to post this picture of Mikaela and her {not-boyfriend} friend Aaron before they went to the Junior High Dance! They are really good friends, and I'm glad they can go do things together and have a good time! They go to movies and out to eat with a big group of their friends and Aaron's mom quite often when we're home!

Titus has had such a good time at the playground area of this park. He loves to cheese it up for the camera! Such a cutie!

Our camper had a blow-out on the way up here, and it busted the water line! Rod had to fix it the day after we got here, and Silas was helping by holding a flashlight for Rod. Such a sweet helper. He and Titus both love to be with Rod, doing anything!

Mikaela and Eli are headed to camp this morning! My mom and dad are going to be counselors there, and {pictured here} two of their good friends from Nicaragua flew in the States to spend some time with them. They are going to do the music at the camp next week! I love this picture!

I took this on the trip up here. We stopped at a gas station that had this dinosaur sitting by the road, so of course the little boys wanted a picture with it! I saw a few more gas stations with this same dinosaur later on, so I'm guessing it's their logo or something!

Titus and Mercie sitting on the couch, waiting for me to get ready to go to the library! Notice the shorts and boots....yeah.
