Neighborhood Night Out

This years Neighborhood Night Out was Hosted at my mom's house for our neighborhood.  We had a lot of good fun and a fun time for all ages.

 Devin even helped Jeff with the corn.  Well they might have just talked more then Devin helping out.

Vacation Bible School

This summer I put Devin in Vacation Bible School and he really enjoyed it.  They had a Baseball theme and made people that were along the wall cheering.  This was Devin's guy.  I have no idea why it has so much hair, but what we were told from his baby-sitter is that he put some hair on it and the kids giggled so he put more on.

 I was able to come and help on Friday and see what they have been working on all week.  I was told that Friday was the most shy he has been the whole week.

 During the end performance.  Devin and Kayla sitting together.

The Fair

Near the end of July was our County Fair.  We all enjoyed the fair.  It was beautiful weather compared to most years (usually it is HOT).  One night was a coin dig that we made it out for just in time.

 Devin enjoyed all of the animals.

 One of the nights we bought a wrist band for him to do unlimited rides.  So, that was the only night we did rides.  He had a lot of fun.  The best part is that he could ride all of the rides that were there.

 This was one of his favorite rides.  He likes the ones that go fast and in circles!!!

 He cornered this little pig and tried to carry it around.

 We took Devin to his first demo derby.  I think it has been 20 plus years since I have been to one.  I think Devin enjoyed it.  I did see a beautiful sunset while there.

Green Giant Days Weekend

We met Pat's family in Fairmont to pick up both kids for the weekend.  So got them Thursday night so they were able to enjoy the pool, the play (Shrek), playing outside, fireworks, a morning run, games and a parade!!!!  It was a busy weekend, but we all had a great time.

As you can tell from the first photo there was a lot of excitement in the truck that night.

 Just a normal day outside playing and being kids.

 We even got an extra for a couple of hours.  It was snack break in Devin's room.

 I did get the boys to take a nap and boy were they tired.  But I have to say that my nephew is awful to wake up. 

 We attended the local play one of the nights.  The kids enjoyed Shrek!!!!

 Devin was excited to the 1/2 mile kids run Saturday morning.  We had even practiced a few different times.  As for me it was not the best thing.  I have been having some issues with my feet all summer and it sucks to try to run at all.  Hopefully soon they will be getting better.

 Downtown had fun kids games and even crazy hair coloring!!!

Woods Lake

When I was in High School, myself and a few friends would make our way to Woods Lake during the summer once in a while for something a little different.  Last year it was under new owners and they have taken the time to really clean it up.  It was a hot day and part of the pool was closed, so why not introduce Devin to a new place.  He just jumped right in and wandered around.  Of course they have a playground so he wanted to play there also.  Now I get at least 3 times a week "Can we go to the Lake today!!!"   

A Social Gathering

One Monday evening in July we went to a house of a member of a Social group that I belong to.  We had a potluck supper along with swimming and good conversion.  For a while Devin was the only kid so he had the pool to himself, but then Chloe showed up and joined him quickly after she ate supper.

 This is a nice group of ladies and have been enjoying getting to know them.

Just doing things in town

This summer we really have not gone anywhere.  But instead we have spend the summer exploring our own town and the local area.  The museum, the Green Giant, Woods Lake, the pool, etc... 

In this photo of the Giant he has on his Bike Rally t-shirt.
