Intel party and cub camp

7/20—Ella played at Katie’s house today, and they had a tea party outside.

Ella must have been super tired, because this is how we found her at about 6:30pm.  She NEVER does this, so I had to take a picture to document it.

7/22—Intel had their annual summer picnic.  We went and enjoyed playing together!  Ella got her face painted.  She loved it except when she looked in the mirror and saw herself for the first time.  I think it startled her to see what her face actually looked like!  Ha! 

  

The kids loved the bouncy houses.  I kept having to go with Ella and it was quite the workout.  After about the 30th time, she was comfortable enough to go with her brothers. 

Luke LOVES the unlimited cotton candy they have there. 

7/23—Andrew spent the week at cub scout day camp.  I went to chaperone on Thursday.  A couple of the stations were--

This launch station were they tried to knock over the stack of boxes with a ball.

Finger catapults. 

BB guns.

I was luckily enough to be there on “dress up your leader day.”  Several of the kids brought things for me to wear.  It was awesome.  lol. 

Para chord bracelets.

7/24—More camp pictures from a friend who went on Friday. 

7/25—Saturday we were assigned to clean the church.  The boys liked pushing around their stuffed animals around on these sweepers. 

My week long fit bit challenge ended and I won!  I don’t think I’ve won one since lol. 

7/27—I forced the kids to leave the house and pick blueberries with me.  They whined and complained, but I think they had fun in the end. 

And this little one ate her weight in blueberries while we were there. 

Along with the blueberries, I bought these blackberries from the farm.  They were HUGE!

We took the kids to Adidas employee store to buy school shoes.  We went over to check out these big shoes and take a picture, but the security guard yelled at us to get off.  It was kind of a buzz kill.

7/28--My boys are so good to Ella. 

8/1--Darrin’s group had a formal attire dinner party downtown to celebrate the completion of a project.  It was fun to dress up and get away for a couple hours.
