more from Kelsey's trip

I was so happy to have Kelsey come up for a visit. It was really nice getting to spend time with her & our little buddy, Tristan. Here are a few highlights from the trip.

 Jake's find in the cache by the race track 
 Tristan literally fell asleep at the table. He was so exhausted from all the fun!
  Kels said that he's never done this before.
 Jake loves playing with Tristan. 
That's probably one of the main reasons he fell asleep at the table. 
 If you look closely, you can see the lady bug that had Tristan mesmerized.

Intro to Geocaching

Kelsey & Tristan came to visit and introduced us to the fun of geocaching. 
We were surprised to learn that there was a cache on the hill right above our house!

 Josh found it first (of course). He's hinting to the boys where to find the treasure.
 Jake found it!
 I love my boys!!!!

Basketball Hoop

We decided to try an experiment over the past school year. Rather than pay someone to teach the boys piano lessons, Dixie taught them (sub-standard lessons, I'm sure) and we put the money we saved towards fun family things. We were able to buy bikes for the boys last fall and then this spring we were able to get a basketball hoop. The boys were ecstatic. Jake worked really hard helping Dixie dig the hole for the post.
