Kevin’s Lenses Pt 3

In August, we took the boys camping and went to Dinosaur National Monument Park.  They had a junior ranger program, so my boys had to do the junior ranger booklets!

It was hot, but we still hiked and looked for fossils!

The boys were sworn in as junior rangers!

Camping was great.  I love our old trailer with its flaws.  I loved seeing the boys around the campfire roasting dogs and ‘mellows!

I just loved it!

After Bobby gets out of the tub, he collapses to the ground and becomes a “rock.”  In this case, a green rock.

Sometimes this is what happens when they are supposed to be cleaning the garage …

Bobby and Tommy share a bedroom.  If Tommy sleeps in his brothers’ room, it disturbs Bobby.  He likes knowing that Tommy is there and really likes waking him up every morning.  Sometimes that waking up is at 5:30 AM and involves the bright light on and stories being yelled at Tommy!

Aloha!

Billy begins every night in his bed.  But we find him in random places the next morning!

Part of this furrball is Maggie our cat.  Part of it is a stuffed cat.  I’m not sure which part is which or how this even happened!

Rusty borrowed his dad’s reading glasses to see the tiny parts and read the tiny instructions!

Brothers have learned that selfies entertain an impatient Bobby pretty well…

Love my alpha and omega!

Billy proudly represented Alabama during the singing of “Fifty Nifty” at our Tomato Days flag raising ceremony.  He sang with the school choir.

I was working the PTA both at Tomato Days, so Kevin took a picture of the boys watching the parade since I missed it!

I also missed Bobby riding the train…

together!

Tomato Days was also Bobby’s birthday.  He was all about the Batman!  Jammies and stuffed bears for him!

For Bobby’s birthday party, we borrowed this animal train from some friends.  I didn’t get to drive it during the party, so I got the final drive before taking it back the next day!

It was adorable and I think we need one!

With enough spots for everyone to ride!  🙂

The end of summer also brought some of our friends moving.  Eli and Charlotte had been good little friends for the boys, especially Tommy and Rusty.  We sure miss them!
