Seven Peaks 8/31/09- 9/5/09...

I have been to Seven Peaks every day that they have been opened for the past week. We are having fun enjoying these last days of Summer. Steve told me earlier in the week that he wanted to come with us to Seven Peaks on Friday. He usually comes with us once every summer. Maddy was so excited that he was coming with us. It was lots of fun and so nice to have him there to help with the kids(especially Avery-she is a hand full!) We rented a tube and had lots of fun in the Wave Pool, Lazy River and took the kids down the Tube Run slide. On our way home we stopped and got our favorite sandwiches at Jimmy John's. Here are some pictures from this past week...

Shalane also came on Friday and the kids had lots of fun playing with her.

I'm dying over this picture! Love it! These two usually steer clear of each other and haven't really liked each other at all. Then one day this past week they all of a sudden decided they love each other. Here is some of their fun together...

Maddy and Dallin have been having tons of fun with squirt guns lately.

Dallin

Look at that face-I want to eat him! :)

Love this picture! Avery really gets those legs going!

A little dancing. :)

They love playing in the tubes... except Avery is too scared to try and get out... pretty funny!

Isn't Jace such a cutie!

Doesn't it totally look like the boys are plotting something bad... and trying to get Claire to go along with it???

I'm telling you they were armed(and dangerous) and off to commit a crime... :)

Snack time... don't laugh-I had no makeup on whatsoever(where were my sun glasses???)

Saturday(9/5) was probably our last day at Seven Peaks unless the weather on Monday turns out better then the weather man is telling me. There was a duck race fundraiser going on and Maddy and Dallin were in heaven! They sat and stared at all the ducks for probably at least an hour... no lie! They would've stayed longer but we decided to leave. Who would've known all it takes is 7000 rubber ducks to keep a 3 & 5 year old in one spot for so long.

I just LOVE how sun bleached Maddy's hair is right now after practically living at Seven Peaks all summer. :)

Here are a couple Outtakes(I couldn't resist)...

This picture is total payback for Stacy. Last year when Jace was a baby she would totally find some conspicuous place to nurse him and Jamie would sneak a picture every time! Seriously, there is one from about every outing we went on. So Stacy decided to return the favor to Jamie. Don't you love the look on both of our faces!?!

This picture captures the love/hate relationship my kids have with the Waves perfectly! Avery is afraid of the waves and runs out as soon as they start. Maddy LOVES them and runs and starts diving into them. If you look closely you can see him at about the two foot mark(wearing turquoise and brown) diving right in. And yes... I'm totally laughing at Avery crying and running out(bad Mommy!)

Avery was also afraid of the duck... I myself thought he was pretty cute! :)

All we wanted was just a smile... they weren't having it.

Last but not least...

... Jamie talking pure nonsense!
