Catch Up, Part 3
So, I'm a slacker. At the rate I'm going, I'm going to be playing catch up my whole life. I've got to get back in the swing of things. I think I'm almost there, but just out of curiousity, does three kids kick anyone else's butt? I can't keep up. I feel bad blogging when the house is a disaster. The Olympics hasn't helped either. I've been totally caught up in that.
Anyway, here are a few more highlights of our summer.
In June, Clark had to work at a conference in Florida. I met up with him there toward the end of the conference. I took Addi with me. We stayed in the hotel for a few days, then we stayed at our good friends the Brodricks' house. They were on a six month assignment in England at the same time we were. They now live in Florida and were kind enough to let us stay with them. We had a great time. We went to Gatorland, Kennedy Space Center, and St. Augustine. Of course we played a few games of Hand & Foot, where the girls dominated.
Addi at Gatorland!
Not the prettiest picture of me, but I was pretty excited about the flamingos in the background.
It was so darn hot and humid, we ended up stripping Addi down to her onesie, and she finally fell asleep in the stroller.

A Gator or Croc? Now I can't remember which is which.
Isn't my hubbie adventurous?
This suit was a hand me down from my sister, but Kimball loves it. And doesn't he look darling in it?
Don't you love it when Daddy babysits?
T-Rex
Sea Monster
This was the first year that Kimball got to play T-Ball. He loves baseball, and he did a pretty good job as well. Their hats were a little too big, but doesn't he look great?
Kimball's friend Tanner.
My Sammy and Tanner's brother Sam. They're only three weeks apart and are so cute.
Holding on to his helmet as he runs the bases.
My sister Juli lives in Sandy and has a pool at her house. We haven't been able to go much this summer, but the times we've gone have been a lot of fun.
When we can't make it to a pool, the boys love swimming in our hot tub. We turn the temp down, and they'll spend an hour just jumping into it or walking around it.
We've recently been letting the boys "read" books at night before they go to bed. Here's how we found Sammy one night.
Our ward has been doing park days every week. Each week we visit a different park. It's been a lot of fun and a nice break for us moms.

When we were in Florida, Clark and I went to Downtown Disney. These pictures were outside of the Lego store. All of these are made of Legos. It was pretty amazing.

Your trip to Florida sounds awesome! Did you leave the boys home?
1. It is a croc, gators have more of a U shape to the heads - crocs more of a V. (Zac or Vanessa correct me if I'm wrong)
2. Kimball's hand-me down suit was not a hand-me down from an aunt as much as it was a hand-me down from his 'male' cousin. (Didn't want you to think he was wearing a woman's suit)
3. Kimball seems to dominate the photo set, we love Sammy too. Addi seems pretty well represented.
