Shirts family reunion

We had a shirts reunion on Saturday and had a great time. Todd and the boys left early which is why they are not in any of the pictures. They had a scout thing. Here is Alaina and her cousin Kala practicing for the three legged race. They were doing pretty good here.
This is at the start of the race notice they're still together. About 7 feet later they let go of each other and fell down.
This however didn't stop Alaina. She was going to make it to the finish line even if she had to drag her cousin behind. Grandpa came to the rescue and lifted them both up.
This is at the end of the mummy wrap when Alaina got to break out. She had a lot of fun.
Kala did a great job of wrapping her up.
Oh a funny story to tell as well. A boy about her age called Noah decided he liked to push Alaina around. She came and told me and I told her to push him back. I was standing with a group at that time and after Alaina ran off we started paying attention to what was going on and sure enough Noah came behind her and pushed her three times in a row. She pushed him back but he just pushed her harder. She took one look at him and ran a ways to where Gavin was playing and Gavin immediately turned and chased Noah off with a great big stick. Us adults were laughing pretty hard. Somebody said that was standing by me. "Don't mess with her she has a bunch of older brothers."

Don't forget to look at the pictures below they're new as well.

Summer Moments

I like Kline line and took an opportunity on Wednesday to go, even though it was not a very warm day. The kids thought it was plenty warm enough and had a great time. Nathan Martinson was spending the night so he got to hang out there with us. This year there are no lifeguards on duty supposedly due to budget cuts. The boys seem to like it better that way. The city moved the dock as well you can see it in the background to the right.

Gideon absolutely loves the sand and water. I had to keep him from crawling in deeper.
