As a special treat for finishing up the school year, Sarah and I took our kids to Hollywood Connection where they had hours of fun. They rode the rides including the roller coaster and the bumper cars, played a few rounds of miniature golf, and then spent a good hour playing games and picking out prizes. I love the mustache Lucas chose, he was so cute. It was nice to get to hang out with Sarah and Bel while the four older kids were entertained.
We had our first guest of the summer, Rob Evanoff, in town for one weekend. Steve met Rob back in Chicago some 25 years ago when they both worked at the same grocery store. The last time we saw Rob was in 2002 during the Olympics but after spending the weekend with us he was part of the family. Steve and Rob spent all day Saturday at the Warped Tour Concert and then Sunday we all met up with some of Robs friends for a yummy Fathers Day brunch at The Park Cafe. While drawing a picture for Steve for Fathers Day, Landon drew 5 people and I asked him who the fifth member of our family was and he said Rob. By Sunday the boys were referring to our friend as Uncle Rob and said they look forward to making a trip out to L.A. to visit him.
Once again the boys entertained themselves for quit some time while the adults got to visit with Rob, Grandma Judy and Papa Joe.
We spent a warm summer night at Rocky Mountain Raceway where the boys watched the Motorcross event. Lucas got a little freaked out at one point when he could not find mom and dad (even though Matt Armstrong and the Armstrong kids were right there) but other than that the night was a lot of fun.
We are having such a warm, dry summer that the boys will do just about anything to try to keep cool. They love the water balloon tank because they can fill up their own balloons (they just need to learn how to tie them now. ;))
Nothing like sticking your feet in cool sand. Ahhhhhh.
