A FUN Summer day!!

What a fun day! We started by going to Roaring Springs with our cousins, then ended up at the drive-in movies with friends!

Here is Cooper having fun in the kiddie pool at Roaring Springs! We always spend a lot of our Summer here. The kids LOVE it and look forward to it every year.

This day our our cousins got to come with us! Here are Cooper and Jesse getting ready to ride the "Kiddie Kowabunga"!

The boys were very sweet and helped Abby go down the "Yellow Slide."

I'm not sure what they are doing here! It looks like fun though!

Somewhere under all that water is Tren! The water kept pulling his shorts down!

Later that night we were off to the drive- in movie theatre out in Caldwell. Yes there is still one drive-in left! We went with a bunch of families in our ward and saw "UP", and ? It was a Great night!

August Pack Meeting at the Nampa Airport

We had the coolest Pack meeting this month! We went to the Nampa Airport and all the scouts and siblings got to take an airplane ride. The "Young Eagles" Program teaches and gets kids excited about becoming pilots. They offer free airplane rides, and the kids names get recorded in the official Young Eagles book in Minnesota. This was SO COOL!

Here one of the pilots is teaching, and educating the boys about the Young Eagles.

Everyone was so excited, that they had a hard time paying attention!

Ryann was one of the first kids to go up. Here she is with the pilot. She flew in a two seat plane. (Her and the pilot) They flew all around Lake Lowell and she got to steer for a while. She had a blast!

Here she is in the cock-pit before take-off.

This is the plane she flew in! It's tiny! You wouldn't catch me in this!

Here she is after landing safe and sound!

Next, was Tren's turn. Here he is in the cock-pit with the pilot before take-off. He also was in a two- seater and got to steer the plane!

All systems a-go! Ready for take-off!

Tren by the plane and his pilot! These pilot's were such nice guys!

Tren's plane all aluminum and one of the older planes there. It was pretty cool looking!

Bailey , Cooper, and Mark got to fly in a six passenger plane. They flew with Jeff Job and his daughter Brielle.

Here is Cooper before take-off!

Mark and the twins in front of their plane.

Cooper got to sit in the front seat! He was SO excited!

Bailey in the plane.

Cooper got to fly the plane!

Here is the whole gang!

The pilot is taking this picture, and Cooper is FLYING the plane! I guess, the plane started going down a little, and the pilot had to correct!

This was such a fun experience for the boys and all the kids!

Swimming Lessons August 2009

This summer we did swimming lessons at LYONS Park in Nampa. This was Cooper and Bailey's first year in lessons. It was amazing how different they are when it comes to the water. Bailey jumped right in, dunked her head in, and started swimming. Cooper, however was VERY nervous, and wouldn't go under without plugging his nose. By the end of the two weeks, Cooper was A LOT braver, and didn't need to plug his nose anymore. Bailey was practically swimming!
