Free Cruise

This morning at church Uncle John invited us out on his new boat The Reel Adventure for an afternoon boat ride.  He is starting a new business taking people out fishing, sightseeing, or just for a ride.  He needed people to go with him so a photographer could take pictures for an advertisement.  Of course we were more than willing to to help out.  We had a great time and everyone enjoyed the ride and being with family.

Captain Ethan and Captain Kaylee both enjoyed their time at the wheel.

 

CJ enjoyed most of his ride up on the top watching for buoys.  

I spent most of my time chasing Ethan and Kaylee around the boat making sure we all got back to land dry. I would say we had another fun day. Maybe tomorrow uncle Randy, Bud, or David will call and need some cute kids to take out on their boats.

Ocean Lovers

One fun part of our life here is Poppy’s boat.  All the kids love to go with Poppy to the boat.  In fact that is where the older two are right now.  Today the kids got a little ride across the harbor from where we watched them unload the crab pots to where the boat is tied up.  Kaylee and Ethan didn’t think the ride was long enough though.  I guess they take after their mom when it comes to being on the ocean.

Chicks

These are the six luckiest chicks in the world. We have been talking about them and planning on getting them for about four months now. The kids helped grandma pick them out and then they named them. Ethan’s chick is Fluffy, Kaylee’s is Barbie (I am not a fan of Barbie nor does she have one but she seems to think she likes Barbie), and CJ’s is Jill. Jill was going to be Jack until they found out that all the chicks were girls. The other chicks are Dora, Poopala (Poppy named that one), and Flower .

 

If you look in Kaylee’s hand you will see how lucky these chicks really are.

 

The kids had fun today collecting some bugs to feed them.

 

The only complaints the kids have had about them is that they are not laying eggs yet and that they are so messy. The kids don’t like that they poop so much especially right after their cage has been cleaned.

Ethan is looking forward to helping Poppy build a chicken coup in the near future. For now they live in the garage under a heat lamp.

We have worms

Today we learned how fun worms could be.

Everyone had a great time checking out the worms, seeing if they were earthworms or grub worms.

 

It really was a lot of fun digging in the dirt and meeting some of our new neighbors.
