Vacation 2012

We spent a week at the beach in North Carolina this year and it was actually a fun and relaxing trip for everyone.  We went crab fishing, visited the aquarium, hunted ghost crabs, boogy boarded, made many sand castles, played mini-golf, and had a great time playing in the surf.

Derrick and Debbie were there the two weeks before us and we overlapped a few days.  Grandma and Papa McCuen joined us for the last few days to celebrate Grant's birthday. 

X-Wing Fighter

It was a rainy Saturday so we visited a small air and space museum in Denver.

They had a nearly full scale mock-up of a Star Wars X-Wing Fighter!  Even I was impressed!

Hiking the Second Flatiron

Doug took a day off over Morgan's spring break and together they hiked the second flatiron.
Quite a hike for a six year old.

As I walked out the door that morning, I mentioned that Morgan's camo shorts and light green shirt might blend in well with the scenery.  I received several texts during their hike of Morgan camouflaging himself in nature.  See if you can pick out the Morgan "rock"!

Morgan's Sixth Birthday

I know I sound like a broken record, but I'll say it anyway.....I can't believe he's six years old!

He had a great birthday. He got a new bike with a hand brake and gears. We gave it to him, he road down the driveway, and promptly crashed! Too busy dealing with the new gears and brake. He was back on the horse the next day though!

Grandma and Grandpa B were in town for his actual birthday. They made cookies with him to take to his class and they picked him up after kindergarten and took him to lunch to celebrate! He loved getting to leave after kindergarten rather than staying for Kindergarten enrichment and Y after-care.

There was another celebration on Easter with the neighbors. Tannis produced one of her amazing cakes. This year's was, at Morgan's request, an archery themed bulls-eye.

Grant: April 2012

It was picture day for Morgan's soccer team and Grant wanted his picture taken too. I was more than happy to oblige!

Easter 2012

The Easter Bunny teamed Morgan and Grant up with neighbors Chay and Koda for a scavenger hunt. They ran through the cul-de-sac seeking the clues/prizes and eventually found the Easter Basket jack-pot under the Sampson's front porch!

We all had a good time!

That bunny most of have been worn out after planning that hunt though!

Neighorhood Ninjas

Two white boys are practicing their kung foo moves!

Morgan's been asking to take Karate lessons for over a year and I think we're finally going to make it happen this summer. More to come on this subject.
