Steve's garden is now ready to pick the radish. Here's the first one picked.


A radish in the garden ready to be picked.
We only planted radishes, tomatoes, sunflowers and pumpkins in the garden this year. We don't have a very green thumb.

Grapes & Food

We purchased 2 grape plants today at Gertens. I've been wanting grapes to grow along our fence for 6 years now and finally got some that already have grapes growing. I'm looking forward to them growing larger and spreading out over the next few years. We had a neighbor when I was growing up that had grapes growing all over his fence. We'd pick them and one year we made grape jelly. I'm hoping some day to do the same with my kids but we might need a few more vines first.


Dinner at Old World Pizza with the kids and neighbors. Celina, Logan and Zach all eating Pizza.

Father's Day at Valley Fair

It was a great day to go to Valley Fair for Father's Day. Once again there were little crowds of people so it was very easy to get on the rides with hardly a wait.
Here we are ready for the rides and to have lots of fun..

Logan and I rode the Farris Wheel while Celina and her Papa rode the Corkscrew Roller coaster. Logan would have liked to go on all the big rides but he's just too short at just 43" with shoes on. He at least made the 42" cut off for some rides but that didn't get him on too many.



Just looking up and wishing he could go on the BIG rides..


Wow, we are high up in the sky.


Logan and me on the Farris Wheel.


Another view from on top of the Fairs Wheel.



Celina and Papa ready for some more fun rides.

The mouse trap roller coaster ride. Once again Logan was about 2" too short to get on this ride.



Thunder Canyon. Logan was too short to get on this ride so we waited while Celina and Steve got wet.

There they go and it looks like Papa is going to get soaked!!

Did you see that???


Logan and Celina on the Frog Hopper. Finally a ride for Logan!!



A kiddy Boat Ride for Logan and Celina.

A water ride for Celina and Logan. Celina's not too impressed with the slow kiddy ride.

Logan's off riding the bees while Celina does another fun ride with her Papa.



The ball factory. The kids loved this one. They both chased the balls and shot them out of various guns, canons etc. It was nice and cool in there so we stayed awhile to let the kids run and play.
Logan's looking for a bag to collect all those balls.

Steve was having fun playing with the balls too!

Tree house slide....

The flume. I think we rode this 5 or more times. This was Logan's favorite and the only "Big" ride he could go on. There was no wait so we were able to get right back on with a short walk.

The big soaker Boat ride. Celina loved this one!! She wanted to do it over and over. Then stand on the bridge to get extra soaked again.

Celina and Papa soaking wet after going on this boat ride.

I'm wet!! Really wet!!


Old Car ride. Papa and Celina putting along.

Logan and Mama rode together in the old cars.


There goes Celina and Papa in their slow car.


Whoosh! The last ride of the day. Logan's favorite Flume Ride.

Tim & Tia's Party

We were invited over to Tim & Tia's house (Jaydee's sister's house) for a pre-Father's Day party. They rented this obstacle course/basket ball court jumper for the kids.
Wee.. down the slide both kids go.. I tried out the jumper & slide and it is a fast ride down!

Papa jumping with Logan and Celina.


Now it's my turn to have some fun!!
Logan and all the kids playing in the backyard.
Celina had to try out this cool trike!! A styling ride!!
