Slidewaters

We put a life-size Buzz on Anthony's and Josh's bedroom wall.
A was ecstatic.


 Kelly made another skirt.  She's got design talent.  ;)
Maggie
Swimming at Walt and Effie's pool. 
We finally realized that it would be a lot safer if we had a life jacket on Anthony when we're at the pool.  Still not as fool-proof as adult supervision (which he is never without), but safer when he's so fast!
We went to Slidewaters with some of Grandma's money.
Lilly and Maggie racing down the slides.

Anthony sliding with Daddy!
We drove in one car.  Our Ford Taurus station wagon has 8 seat belts.  It's tight, but we all fit, even with Anthony's car seat!
Anthony was dressing his feet/legs with a shirt.

Moses Lake Water Park 2012

When my grandma passed away earlier in the summer, each of my siblings received a small inheritance.
Margie's family and mine decided to do some summer fun with ours.
That's what Grandma would definitely approve of!
Just about each summer, we already meet at the Moses Lake Water Park.
But, without the inheritance, we probably could not have afforded to go this year.

My family used some of the Grandma money to get ice cream cones.
Margie's family is a lot larger though, so she went to a grocery store for a few minutes.
When she came back, she had a couple boxes of drumstick ice cream cones for a LOT less money.
:)

Margie
Me!!!!
We've been to this water park several times before, but I've always been too afraid to go on the bodyboard. 
When Margie did it, I figured I had to also...can't have my older sister doing something I can't do.
(same reason I'll be running a full marathon in the next year or two, with Shirley)
It was fun!

Daniel slept for half the time.

(maybe I can be a fun aunt again?)
We told Janice we'd give her $5 if she could catch a sea gull.
She studied them...
...then chased them!
But no luck.  :(
Eliza attacking Kelly.
I was so amazed at all Margie's family could fit in their stroller, including Eliza!

August 2012

My hair was getting way too long, just like Andy likes it.
But, it was too long to be realistic with my life.
So, I was able to donate some, since I don't have more than 5% gray hair yet.  :/
We went to Uncle Walt and Aunt Effie's a few times this summer.
They have a great pool, and even better company.






Maggie and Lilly made a chocolate cake to share with them.
I made Kelly a dress. 
The neckline was way too big, so I sewed some tucks in there, and it looked like it was supposed to be that way!
Lilly was spraying Maggie.
Anthony decided to help.
Then he took over.
Everyone wet!
