The kid's buddies, Larkin and Mara came over to play on the slide.

Putting the finishing touches on the landscaping.
Ryker at swim lessons
After swim lesson water out of ears shake.
Soooooo, Kya planned this wedding. When Seth and I (the guests) arrived everything was ready. Look at that decorated walkway!
Ryker was the groom. He was on board, but not exactly falling into line with Kya's perfect wedding plans.
He did kiss the bride when he was told to.
Once the reception was over, the dance began!
Seth was assigned to be the photographer, but he had to pass the camera off to me to restrain the groom who was being unruly and harassing the bride! I don't even think he got to finish his pretend grape juice and tomato he was served.
Jay birds!
Splash pad opened June 1st. Guess what day we were there? Yep, June 1st!
Since Seth was leaving before Father's day, the kids had a whole day planned to celebrate with him before he left. Of course, it included all fun things they like to do, but he did get strawberry shortcake after dinner!
Softball toss
We only got to do 2 track meets before leaving for Montana. Ryker is to the age where he only gets a ribbon for first, second, or third. He got a second and a couple 3rds over the course of both meets. He wasn't thrilled because he used to win a lot last year. I explained to him that he is in the 5-6 year old category so next year he'll be one of the older kids and have a better chance of getting first. I also explained to him that he could walk really early and was coordinated as a little kid so while a lot of the little kids were falling over the hurdles, he was running to the finish line. The kids are catching up to him now and there are some super fast 5 and 6 year olds out there. I stopped short of telling him to work on his softball toss and shot put, because may he'll get Cam's speed, but I'm guessing he's not going to be sprinting to too many more 1st place finishes.
This girl, however, is still more coordinated than most kids her age so she still thinks of herself as quite the trackster. She's more into looking at and talking to the other runners though than actually running. Also, they aren't letting the little ones run the hurdles anymore because too many kids were falling so she was pissed about that.
I asked her if she wanted to bring running shoes. Nope, she'll wear her sequined dress shoes, but she would like to grab her running headband. I didn't have the heart to tell her that running headbands do not have a giant pink flower hanging off them!
Super worried about where the other competitors are. I am glad he wants to win, but I think he might be a little over the top for his age.
Getting in the zone for the long jump....hahah.
Go!
1 foot, 3 inches!
