An eventful month

DaVinci days in Corvallis, OR:
amazing chalk art






Lexi painting a fish. This booth was to teach kids the importance of keeping our waterways clean in order to protect the life within them.

Kyler's painting.
The kids stuck their hands in a tub of bees. Apparently the males do not have stingers. I still think they were brave for doing so. (Kyler had done this earlier and we didn't get any photos, unfortunately)
She said they tickled.
Lexi as the Mona Lisa.
Kyler.
Misters!


Tumbling.
Such a fun day.
While Jared was away on his business trip, the kids and I hit up the park:
My sunshine!
My princess!
Flipping through photos on the camera, I discovered Kyler's 'self photo'! Ha ha!!
Water Balloon fight:



I love my babies!
Lexi asleep in the car.

Sahalie Falls:



Little chipmunk in the parking lot.

My aunt Ruth and second cousin Olivia from New Mexico.
Aleisa and Olivia. They are the same age as my kids (5 and 8). Olivia, Alexia and Aleisa. Aleisa is like 2 weeks younger than Lexi.
Clear Lake:

My dad and aunt Ruth.
My step sister Serena, myself (7 months pregnant) and aunt Ruth.Serena and Melissa.
It's so beautiful.
My aunt Ruth got a tattoo to honor my uncle David who passed away last April. She is such a strong woman and has really shown her strength through his passing.
Cub Scout day camp (5 days of fun!):
Making a cage. We were so lucky to be able to help out and Lexi was fortunate enough to be able to participate. We had a blast.
The horse cart ride.
Such a beautiful ride.
They had a blast.


The reptile station:
Lexi holding a snake.
Kyler's turn.
Petting a baby alligator.

Food experiment: Mentos and Diet Coke.
Kyler volunteered to get sprayed with the soda. He was disappointed when nothing happend. ha ha
The kids checking their experiment.
Their group are the baboons.
They made dough beads and necklaces. Kyler is so good to his sister, he saved her a seat at every station and made sure to explain everything to her.
Modeling her necklace.
Warrior games:
Lexi kept up with the boys in this event, such a sporty girl!
Fun hula hoop game.
Tic tac toe.
Making snakes.
Their finished result.
Kyler won this piece to a tortoise shell for correctly answering what adaptation means, such a smart boy!
There were a lot more events I wasn't able to capture on film. They did archery, shot b.b. guns, tons of crafts, hikes, a skit (which everyone loved), etc.
It's been a great month for us, though very busy. Being as I am entering my 3rd trimester, I am exhausted but wouldn't trade any moment of activity for anything.
