Angry Birds

Here are all four of our angry birds.  The mall kiosk where I found the shirts didn't have baby sizes, so Alice got one from amazon.

Knoxville for Labor Day

We went to visit Jen's sister and her family, the Butlers, in Knoxville.  Mom flew down with Alice and Eli.  Dad drove with Dax and Jacy and stopped at Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky on the way.

Summer Fun

Now that it is cooling off, it's good to remember some of the good times we had over the summer.  Or maybe I'm just looking for an excuse to explain why these pictures are so late getting onto the blog.

Celebrating the lack of mosquitoes this year by sleeping out in the very exposed fort.

Like my friend Marshall and I used to say: "God made dirt, so dirt don't hurt."

The Roar on the River power boat races.

California

I took Dax and Jacy to California for a few days of playing on the beach, the San Diego Zoo, and just hanging out with the Clarks.  They had a blast, and I didn't hate it either.  And yes, Jacy did perform a tactile inspection to determine the gender of the polar bear, don't worry, she's a doctor.

Kalahari Water Park

We took a little three day two night vacation to The Kalahari Water Park in Sandusky, OH. It's the largest indoor water park in the US. It was a lot of fun. My week of vacation was during the week of our anniversary, so we upgraded to the two room suite. Dax and Jacy got the beds, Eli was stuck on the floor, and we had our own room. We bought a package that included the room, water park, meals, and video game tokens. I'd say it might be the perfect family vacation with young kids.
