Grizzly Jack's

We had a fabulous weekend trip. What made it even better is that the lodging, waterpark, and a few amusement rides were all FREE. Many many thanks to our friend, Sanette Sumiec, who set it all up, whose boss owns the cabin, and let us all go. We all had such a good time. It was the perfect size for our family ages. Not too big so that it was overwhelming for kids, or mommy, and just big enough to keep them busy for five hours and super excited the whole time. They loved going down the slide! Over and over and over.

The wave pool was definitely their favorite though. The girls loved when the waves went from side to side and got really high. I was impressed with how well they retained their swimming skills from last summer. I told the girls they proved themselves ready for a trip to St. Maarten, now we just have to get Tanner a little more sea trustworthy and save up for that airfare! Two more years, just plan on it Mom and Dad. :)

Annika on Fire

Annika woke up this morning with pink eye and will spend two days at home. I am remembering why I don't want to home school. I do think this piece of homework, she did all by herself, will make her teacher smile though. It reads, "This morning my mom found out that I had pink eye." I especially liked the illustration. Earlier this month Annika received a certificate of recognition for her good character in kindergarten. She was quite pleased that she is keeping up with her big sister.

And this is one of her new favorite talents and ways to make us laugh. In fact, Phoebe's giggle is almost as funny as her "booty shake" as Annika calls it. Even though her tush is almost nonexistent she is so skinny. She puts her arms up because she is imitating Kick Buttowski, a new cartoon fave on Disney (this little boy that is a skateboard daredevil--I was leery, but it is quite funny).You will want to turn off the playlist so you can hear all of the giggles.

ticked off Tanner

He was really really mad that the bank teller forgot to give a sucker again. REALLY mad. But I just don't feel right asking for one. Good thing I had one at home!
