Meeker "Daze"

Ashten, Anderson, and Ayden in the back of Dad's '66 Buick Skylark I wanted to recreate this picture with my boys, since Dad has a picture of his 3 kids in the back of his original Skylark Jeanie, Vicki, Mom, AJ, Dad

Ashten and Ayden

The boys liked doing some puzzles at the Science Center booth

Ayden LOVED watching the trains but AJ was SO scared he would jump when the train whistle blew and then started to scream.

Ashten got his bait stolen 3 times before he caught his fish.

Papa helped Ayden catch a his fish super fast.

Both the kids were a little freaked out by their fish

The boys and I went down to Puyallup for Meeker Days with the family. They have the Buick car show there also which Dad had entered his Skylark into. Right away, Ayden was playing with this chain dividing the parking lot and the road and some how flipped over it landing on the back of his head, it was so loud on the concrete. He was scared and he has a huge bump on his head but he eventually calmed down and we went to look at all the cars. Ayden loved the dark blue ones, the police car, and the teardrop trailer. Ashten loved ALL of them and had a great time going around with Kathy, Terry, and Jeanie looking at pretty much every car at the show. We walked around the city and looked at the booths, we found a big toy for the kids to play on, which eventually caused a major melt down with Ayden. Boy was I getting dirty looks from everyone as I tried to inforce "naughty chair" Gosh people haven't you ever watched Supernanny? It took way longer than necessary but, he finally sat his four minutes and apologized. Thank you, Supernanny--oh how I love thee. We went to the farmer's market and got some yummy cherries and then we found this place where you could fish for only $2.00. It was basically a HUGE metal pool full of fish we heard there were 250-500 fish in there. Both of the boys caught a fish and we took it home for Daddy to cook. After that, we had to hurry home because it was hot and humid and we didn't want the fish to go bad. It was a really fun day and the kids were so tired. AJ was out as soon as I started the car and Ashten a few minutes later. When we got home all 3 of them slept for a few hours. Lucky me, I got to read my book uninterrupted!
