Scrubbing Bubbles

I went outside to check on Mason and found him washing his Gator while daddy was washing the big car...too cute!

Enchanted Forest

Grandma and Grandpa Dodge couldn't have picked a better day to take us to the Enchanted Forest. Tim, Calli, Javon, Arien, Rae, Corbin and Kiley came along also. I've been dying to go but I wanted to wait until this year when the boys were a little older. They went on almost every ride but their favorite was the bumper boats. Grandma went down all the slides and even took Mason through the rabbit hole. It was really fun to see the boys wide eyed excited over everything. They got to meet president Abe Lincoln but Mason was much more impressed with the bow and arrow set that Grandma bought them. The only thing that they didn't like was the hole that you can go down in the teepee. The photo where Mason looks like he's completely freaking out was when he saw me try to go down the hole.

Silver Falls Camping 2011

This was our second year camping at Silver Falls and it was probably the best weather we've had so far this year. We camped with the Curry family and the boys LOVE to camp now. We got lots of hiking in, they rode their bikes non-stop and they even got into a water fight. Brock thinks it's hysterical to spray water at other people but hates it when people shoot him. They loved seeing the water falls and they think we took them to see the falls that "McQueen and Sally" drove by in the Cars movie so we're pretty much the coolest parents ever! They also kept an eye out for Yogi bear during our hikes :)

Circus

For the boy's birthday Uncle Mike and Aunt Niki bought the boys tickets to the circus. James and I went along and so did their cousins Javon, Ava, and Carson. The boys loved the clowns but their favorite part was the elephants. Mason really wanted to ride one but mommy didn't feel like spending that much money. They ate lots of popcorn and used the bleachers as a jungle gym :)

First Day of Preschool

June 20th the boys went to Preschool for the very first time! I just dropped them off for a couple of hours so they could get use to it and they did great! They had lots of fun and liked playing with all the other kids. I think it helped that we got there just in time for recess. They got to go straight out to the playground and didn't even notice when I left. The next day was their first full day with Preschool and after care. More importantly it was the first time that they got to use their Lightening McQueen lunch bags :) By the end of the week they were still happy campers. They both took good naps all week long and neither one had a potty accident all week. They even brought home their first craft project, foam visors that they decorated. They seem to really love school!

Brownsville Parade

This is the first year that we've actually been in town for the Pioneer Picnic in Brownsville so we thought we'd check it out. My mom and I took the boys to the parade. They loved all the tractors but Brock's absolute favorite thing was the fire engines. He would start jumping up and down in the street with excitement whenever they came by. We wanted to check out the rest of the festivities (okay we really just wanted and elephant ear)but with all the rain and traffic we decided to hold off on the rest of the fun until next year.

Bouncing Fun

Mason got to go to the indoor bounce park in Corvallis with Grandpa Dodge last week. Grandma and Grandpa were going to take a bunch of the grandkids to go play but Brock got sick with a really bad cold so he had to stay home with Grandma while Mason had the time of his life :)
