Day at the Lake and a Hike in the Foothills


All 4 kids are still having a great time and getting along for the most part. On Tuesday, we spent part of the day at Bow Mar Lake where the kids swam and we had a picnic. The water felt great and the kids had a blast swimming in the lake and playing on the beach. That evening we rode the light rail downtown and had dinner. For desert, we got all 4 kids their own build-your-own-sundae. It was a mess, but they loved it. Yesterday, we went for a late morning hike at Mt. Falcon. It was a total of 3 1/2 miles and they all did great and walked the whole way themselves (except for the short stint Ryan and Luke each got to ride on my shoulders). After what was supposed to be naptime, we went to a toy store and then Whole Foods. Today, we've stayed close to home and went to the pool. Conny and her kids are still there now, while mine are fast asleep for a nap. Greg comes home tonight and Kent, Tara and Fyo will be here tomorrow.

Lunch time at the lake.

Luke and Olivia on the slide. Luke really wanted to go, but after one time, he was done. Olivia went several times.

Ryan spent most of his time in the lake pushing trucks around under the water.



On the train.

Luke and his reflection.

Dinner - it was so nice and all of the kids behaved wonderfully. It beat the heck out of last year's trip to the Melting Pot.

Olivia and her sundae mess.

On top of Mt. Falcon.

They all really wanted to climb up the rocks.

Conny and her kids - way ahead of me and mine (Luke walked slowly and Ryan was easily distracted).





Tired boys, but they were real troopers.


Lastly, a video of the kids eating their sundaes.
