The Drink of Choice

Carving Pumpkins

Most of the work was done by Grandma Nelson, but we now have three lovely Jack-o-lanterns. Owen carved the middle one by himself. Lewis had no interest in posing for a picture. He decided to attack the pumpkin in the background instead.

Annual Dells Trip

We had an awesome time in the Dells as usual! Our condo was the fanciest we've ever stayed in, and it worked out to $55 per family per night! I love ebay. We spent hours at the waterparks, and Grandma and Grandpa dropped some money in the arcade so the boys could go home with a handful of trinkets.

Vacations are tops on my list. I'm already thinking about the next trip!

Everyone had fun in the wave pool, even my brother's baby, Lucas. Corey had fun telling the guard at the top of each waterslide that I like going down backwards. And he asked one of them to hold my end of the raft under the waterfall - and he did!

There were a few "family" raft rides, and this one never had a line, so we went on it a lot. The bummer was the conveyor belt was broken, so Corey and Keith had to carry the big rafts up several flights of stairs. I didn't feel bad for Corey though, I figure it was payback for making me go down all the slides backwards.

Lewis in the Water

Watching the big bucket dump with Grandpa.

Lewis had a ball karate chopping the water. He was really fighting hard.

The Boys

I know I'm slightly biased, but these are four of the cutest kids ever!

The Gigantic Play Place

What could be more fun than blasting foam balls at people in a three story treehouse?

This is what happens when two dads chase four little boys for three days.

A Little Water Fun

Don't let that smiling face fool you. This crazy dad is always up to something.
