Summer 2010

4th of JULY, 2010

We went back to Platte Center for the weekend and enjoyed the parade, kiddie games, tractor pull and the afternoon at the lake.

Keara and Easton patiently waiting for the parade to start (well, actually, for the candy to be thrown!)

They figured out that waving gets more candy!

Easton in the tractor pull!

Keara in the tractor pull! She was very determined!

Keara won third place in the 5-year-old group, out of the four girls and five boys that participated!

...And, Easton could have cared less, he got enough junk at the kiddie games to dress up like a patriotic pirate!

We went to some family friends' lake for the afternoon to swim and eat.

And, went for a boat ride.

Keara got the relaxation part down real quick!

CHAFFEE FUN
At the beginning of the summer, Keara and Easton spent a week down in Clay Center "helping" Grandma & Grandpa. They also got some good times in with their cousins!

Many hours were spent in the pool, jumping through the pool, going down the slide into the pool, jumping off the slide into the pool!!!

Easton claims he is "allergic" to babies!! But, between him and Keara, he is always the first one to go up and try to tickle their feet of give them a smile. This is Easton with our youngest cousin, Jett.

Our group was in charge of mixing together the corn casserole.

We had to take turns stirring!

We played games, and...

sang songs with beanbags :), and...

dressed up like Indians and Pilgrims and enjoyed our food.

Hanging Christmas Lights

Just one of the fun holiday traditions. Luckily, Allen somewhat enjoys it!

Lulu decided to help too and climbed the ladder to the roof.

Easton giving us 'web in the eyes'

Trick or treat! I think Easton probably rang that doorbell about three times!

We could have gone to 100 houses and Keara still would have said, go next house, more candy!

Easton was most excited about his suckers! He dug through one lady's bowl for about a minute straight saying, 'no, want something better' until he came upon a sucker!

Allen as Spiderman. Thank god they don't make that costume for adults!

Me, simply trying to live a dream! Although it is nice not to have an evil step-mother that tries to kill me or locks me in an attic!
