Our fun time in Hope

May 29th we spent the day at the lab. We had a great time visiting and eating etc.
After eating Kristi and I took the kids to the walking path and took pictures while they played and jumped ditches.




The fountain area at the community college is really pretty. It was warm out and the water looks inviting.

The boys sized up the width of the ditch and the probability of a successful leap across.

After they decided that the jump could be made, they started jumping, and jumping.

And jumped some more. Carter was a little more reluctant...but....


He finally made the jump. Look at that great form. He could be a hurdler.



At the end of the day they walked calmly into the sunset.


Yeah right....walked!
We will have to find another Friday to come and spend the day at the Lab.

Jeff's birthday..
After a busy birthday eve we didn't get into bed until after midnight. Our plans were simple 1. sleep as late as possible 2. go to the Lilly Land, the local day lily farm.

Both items were successfully accomplished.
I had no idea there were so many varieties of lilies. We took a ton of photos!

It was a really beautiful day.

Birthday at the Lab

Friday May 29, 2009 the kids and I went to the Lab with Jeff. It was a day that we were going to celebrate his 40th birthday (one day early).
We walked up to the door and found that the "Girls" had been busy that morning.


Jeff was greeted at the door by Diane and a wheelchair. "haha"
The kids had a great time playing in the wheelchair while we waited for Jeff to get settled and "play along".

Kristi brought her kids too. The kids seemed to have a great time together.

After playing in the wheelchair it was time to fire up the grill.

Jeff and his assistant at the grill Diane. She is the next one to have a BIG birthday. Actually, her birthday is in July. hmmm
While Jeff cooked the kids played on the sidewalk.


After a BIG lunch Kristi and I took the kids to the walking path and let the kids run and play. I will post another blog about that.
It was a great time had by all. Hopefully, I can go back sometime this summer.
