Ayden and Ashten loved exploring the "sand dumes" across from our condo.
I don't know where they learn about sand dunes, but they crack me up!
The boys got these kites from Uncle Dennis and Aunt Chris.
They didn't have string but the boys ran around with them anyways.
Armand and I played poker and blackjack with Dad, Kristin, and Wes.
After I made breakfast this morning we met the rest of the family over at the Lion's Club across the street. The boys loved that they could run and play outside and there was tons of food which is all four of my boys' favorite things. Later, while I was playing a game of Mad Gab, Armand and Ayden went out geocaching with Mom, Dad, and some other family.

AJ is just trying to figure out why there is water everywhere.
After
Ayden got back from
geocaching, he joined us at the park.
Mom took
AJ in the tube. He was not so excited about it, but he did better than I thought.
Toni took
Ashten down a few times so did Mom,neither of them knew that before they arrived he was going by himself.
This smile says it all.

Later we went over to the waterpark, while Armand and Ayden finished up geocaching. Ashten and Anderson loved the water. Ashten went off by himself and played checking in with me every now and then. AJ stuck fairly close of course. When Ayden came he joined right in the fun by then some of the other cousins had come so they had great time together. After the park was dinner back at the Lion's Club. It was so good! It's been nice not to eat out every meal, although I brought way too much food and will most likely bring half or more back home. In the evening, we went over to the bonfire at the beach. It was windy but we had a great time roasting marshmallows. The kids finally got to play in the sand! The party came to an early end when AJ peed through all of his clothes, but the kids were beat and had passed out in the car before we got back on the paved road. Before that could even happen we got stuck in the sand. Thanks to Dennis, Chris, and Garrett for helping us out! We forgot that we don't drive a Tahoe anymore.
Ayden trying to turn on the water, I don't know if anyone gets how to turn it on.
The new turtle gun Ayden was attached to pretty much the whole time.

It was HOT!
We had a great time today at the spray park in Auburn. It was so nice outside I could not just sit home with the kids. We stopped by Walmart to pick up some lunch and then headed to the park for a picnic. Ayden and Ashten loved the new turtle guns that they put in. Anderson loved the water that sprays from the ground. We are looking forward to lots more trips down there this summer.
