Field Trip to the Lynden Police Department

I can't say enough about our group of homeschool families. We have organized some pretty amazing field trips for the kids in the upcoming weeks. Today was a trip to the local police station. The kids were so well behaved and learned so much (I think the moms did too) Isaiah listening at the start of the tour.
Checking out the awards and the officer who the building is named after.


Finger printing

I don't know why Elijah looks so sad here, he had a blast. I think he asked more questions than any other kid there. He asked about taser guns, and pointed out that the evidence storage look like high school lockers.

The group

All the kids got a goodie bag with a stuffed animal, lollipops, bracelets and other goodies.
They had such a great time.

Birch Bay on a Beautiful Day

Isaiah and Elijah love "sanddollar" beach. They didn't find any this day but enjoyed the beach anyway.


The boys and grandma (she was visiting from Maine all week)

Going up

Great Wolf Lodge...better late than never

So way back in Feb we hit 100 days of school and we like to celebrate with the kids each time we hit this milestone. This year it took us awhile but we finally rewarded them with a trip to the Great Wolf Lodge. Basically it's a huge indoor water park and hotel. I have no pictures of the water park because I found a baby, plus water, plus camera was not a good combo. But here are some fun pics none the less.


Three cuties



The entrance

Bear on the wall the talked to us.


Part of the lodge.


Elijah playing Magi Quest. It was sort of like a scavenger hunt using these wands that made things around the hotel light up and talk.


Isaiah getting ready to play Magi Quest.

Hannah Bear in her bathing suit. She really wasn't into the water park, which is surprising because she loves to take baths. I had to get a few pictures in her super cute suit.

The Kids


All of us. Not the greatest picture but what do you expect when you ask a complete stranger to take a picture?

Photo Journal: Hannah Bear's new sleeping position...her little but right up in the air. I went in to check on her during nap and the first thing I saw was a little round bum bum. She also lost a sock. I am glad she's making use of her crib during the day =)
