two field trips means two times the fun!

Recently I was lucky enough to pick apples with my boys on separate field trips. Caiden was first, and he enjoyed the animals way more than the apples. So much so that I did most of the apple picking, leaving no hands to take photos.

Such a goofy grin. Such a Caiden grin.

 Cameron also enjoyed the animals. I enjoyed antibacterial wipes afterwards.

 The kids and their bounty.

I really enjoyed the opportunity to spend time with each boy and their classmates, watching them interact with all of their friends. The boys have enjoyed eating their special apples. Good times were had by all.

déjà vu hide-n-seek

Early stage of hide-n-seek – hiding behind a curtain and thinking you’re invisible.

Funny, because Cam did the same thing around the same age.

legos at the garden

A couple of weeks ago a portion of the Martin clan met up to see the Lego exhibit at the Botanical Gardens. Our special guests Heather and Jacob joined in.

 The kids enjoyed the Lego carnival cutout the most – often fighting over
whose head should go through.

 I left my purse in the car, disappointing the kids since I did not have any change for fish food (bad mom). Luckily Heather came to the rescue.

 On the way out, the kids wrangled up sheep.

We all had fun, except for Jacob. He was not impressed.

Let’s all hope that Caiden does not go into medicine.

kindergarten here we come!

Cam started kindergarten yesterday, and what a difference a year makes. Last year all the Pre-K students and parents huddled together watching the mass chaos of kids, many MUCH larger than our own, running and bouncing around the lot. This year, WE were the pros. I had to beg Cam for a photo in front of the school before he ran off with his friends. Then I spent the morning catching up with other parents, marveling at how much everyone grew over the (short) summer.

He is looking forward to another fun year at Kennard!

daddy tunnel

What’s more fun that daddy making a tunnel with his legs?

Having Lisi be a tunnel guard.

roller coaster or stairs?
