Fun Week in Colusa!

We had a great week in Colusa.  It was especially fun because Karen is living there with Owen until she has her baby.  And Luke is working there now, so we got to see him almost every day, which was really fun.   I always love to see as much family as possible while in town, and it was so nice to have a couple family members already there! Below are some of the highlights from the week. . 

Enjoying the Backyard

It was pretty warm the whole week, and the kids loved spending time in the backyard! 

 

They thought it was pretty funny when Will kinked, then unkinked the hose to spray Kate and Owen:). 

Enjoying the new sandbox. 

They all loved going in the water, but Grace especially loved the sprinklers!! 

Dinner with Anna and Em.

PARK TIME!

FAIRYTALE TOWN

I'm a big fan of this place, and the kids love it, too!  Or better said,  I am a big fan because the kids love it.  That's pretty much how it works these days:). 

All aboard! 

Taking over the train. 

Super Cal!

My attempt at getting a picture with all the kids:).  Sorry, Karen, that we let Owen shine the flashlight in his eyes:). 

Ice Cream! 

I told the kids they could have an ice cream if they stayed up in their beds at night.  Fortunately, we had many days where the received a cone! And on the third day of staying up in their rooms, they got to go to Jeff's! 

  

Tennis in the Park

I'm so impressed with Tennis in the Park! We've been able to see it in action a few times this year when we've been home.  There are quite a few kids that attend, and they all really enjoy it!  

They were really nice to let Grace and Will join one of their games.  

"I got it!"

Putting Will to work. . .

Will and I went over to help  Luke clean up the yard at his new office.  As Luke and I were both outside working on the lawn, I flashed back 25 years, when were part of the Steidlmayer lawn crew.  I didn't like it so much then, but appreciate it now, and would love to have Will do something similar! 

 

Will hoes the weeds, or maybe just kicks up dirt! 

Erin's Shower

It was so fun to get to see Erin's family, the Steidlmayer family and the other guests who could make it to Erin's shower!
