Kim canned a lot of pears and had some great help
We went to the fair together and the kids had a lot of fun in this STEM bus
Archery is always a favorite
Pretty birds
Some yummy fair food
Including deep fried oreos
Mason loved the crafts
We saw a sea lion show that was really cool
It is amazing how strong they are
And acrobatic
Here is some video of the amazing sea lions
It was a great show
We saw some animals
We had a family Silverwood day the next day
We started at the water park
Waiting at the top of the water coaster
Henry and I put up a good fight but we couldn't beat Nixon and Mason
Nixon and I did some big rides together
Mason started out with some smaller rides
Henry flying
Riding the little train
Mason and I had fun on the crazy coaster
So did Nixon and Henry
Then the boys rode a roller coaster together
We all had pizza for dinner and watched the magic show
The three of us rode SpinCycle (Mason's first time)
Then we rode Stunt Pilot (Mason's first time)
Henry had fun driving a car!
He tongue is so active
Then we all did bumper cars
And of course ice cream
The next day Henry woke up different. Henry was EIGHT!
He chose to have muffins and smoothies for breakfast
Then he got to open some presents
So much excitement
A new fitness watch
Some new PJs
He was so excited to get his own mini Fresca cans
One of his gifts hadn't arrived yet ;)
This circuit kit turned out to be really fun (see below)
Some brother hugs
Henry asked to go to Skate Plaza with some friends and his brothers
Getting ready for a race
This is that circuit kit that he got. They had lots of fun with it.
Henry asked for a lemon cake
Henry kind of forgot how this works
But eventually he figured it out (kind of)
Our little baby is 8
The next morning Kim, Nixon, and I woke up early and drove to the mountains for a hike
We hiked Scotchman Peak, hoping to see mountain goats and get some good miles in to prepare for an upcoming trip
Nixon did really well
It was an overcast day so we enjoyed the cool weather on the way up
They views along the way were nice
Once we hit the loose rock we know we are getting close
Just a little further
So close to the top
We were greeted by three mountain goats at the top, one was a little baby
You can barely see the baby here in between the other two
Mountain goat selfies
We discovered that they like licking urine...
I of course had to take out the full size camera I hiked up there and get some good shots of them
The baby was so cute
We didn't stay as long on the top as we would have liked because it was freezing cold
We saw the goats a little more on the way down
Nixon flexing back at the parking lot
Here's some video of the hike
Take care
