The boys love their cars!!

Someone's hiding behind the tree!?

Culvers - yum!

 Dear Culvers, 

You had me at 'buttered bread' and 'mint oreo'.

After Cabellas and all that 'hunting and camping', we needed a good meal and dessert since the girls had already eaten at Taco Bell. Poor Mo was exhausted and slept through the food and fun.

 3 Generations

 I don't know.

 Lucas was unable to get to his seat in a 'normal' way - see Grandpa's crooked hat??

 Pretending to not notice that dad is stealing his treat.

 GUILTY! Jeff was taking Lucas' bite from grandpa and leaving him with the custard, not the candy.

Time out is so much more fun when you put yourself there and mom has a new camera.

 Good morning Mo! Sorry you missed the party.

Cabellas

Sporting goods meets fake zoo meets endless enjoyment for all ages of boys.

some prefer to freak out, but only when the mom arrives - guess he didn't want to be lunch for the polar bear.

Probably best we stick with these guns.

This is my type of camping - no dirt, no fuss, when we're finished, just walk away. :)

 On to the Safari

Can you find Lucas or Abbey??

 Ammon found her.

 

 Some very expensive toys to climb on.

Adventures with Jeff

 Biking with Jeff: riding along, something brushed his leg, he reached down brushed it off and it stuck to his hand, flicked it off, then it landed on his shoulder. Turned out to be a 'jumping cactus' - hurts and left behind part of the thorns(?).  Poor guy.

Let's go D-Backs!! Jeff took Abbey and Lucas to a pre-season D-backs game. Abbey had a blast dancing to all the music, Lucas was mostly bored and probably irritated his sister joined the boys night....

 Baxter love

 Abbey wanted to be in the picture. :)
More pre-season, day game: they had a practice field set up for the kids to hit wiffle balls and run the bases. Jeff took the big kids over to play before the game started.
