Mercy Fair

This year we had a fun time at the Mercy Fair. Barry and the kids waited in line for about an hour to jump on the trampolines. While we waited in line the kids got to take turns going down the slide. Kara started out wanting to do flips, but actually got a little freaked out being up so high.Kendra loved her turn and didn't want to get off. That's me jumping in the background.

Tanner also had fun. Barry wished that he was a little smaller so he could have a turn too.

Rock Aqua Jays

We took Barry to see the Aqua Jays. It was an amazing ski show.

June Activities

June was a busy month, but full of fun....mostly. Early in the month is was hot enough to run through the sprinkler.
My friend threw me a surprise 30th Birthday Party. The kids made the sign for me. Thanks Shana!

Tanner and Kara opened up a hotel in our yard. The cost is only $3 per day...not a bad deal. Tanner was paying Kara and Caden a penny a day to work there. They had to clean the "bathroom", and also give Tanner his massage.

We were at the park and Tanner found a four leaf clover. After he found it Kara was searching like you wouldn't believe. She never found one.
Strawberry picking was fun! We went when Barry could come with us this year.

Kendra nice and clean before she started eating the berries.

Barry was a great picker! He did all of that himself.
Tanner and Kendra just ate strawberries. Kara doesn't love strawberries so she just picked them.

The kids at the Monroe Balloon Fest.

Kara won a drawing for a mini finger skate board ramp. She was so happy and made sure all the other kids that were with us knew that she won and they didn't.

Kendra had a tea party with Kamdyn. They are best buddies! I asked them to make a funny face and this is what they did. Here's a story about Kendra and Kamdyn...one day Kendra was saying goodbye to Kamdyn. She said, "Bye Damdyn (that's how she say Kamdyn)." It really sounded like she said bye dumb dumb. Kamdyn was very offended and told her mom that Kendra called her a dumb dumb. Her mom had to explain that the way Kendra says her name sounds that way, but she is really saying Kamdyn.
We moved to a new neighborhood by some of our friends. Tanner and Ryann decided to collect rocks to sell. Kara wanted to help so they put her in charge of holding up a sign when cars came by. They made $1.60 and they think they will set up shop again soon.
