Very exciting times!!!
Couldn't you just gobble him up?
And then the in-laws joined us for dinner and for some after supper entertainment, we did this!
After the fun fire festivities were over....we gave each kid a flashlight and we all went for a walk. I loved watching them take off like firecrackers when they saw the Zalinko boys playing over by the beach and took part in a spontaneous game of hide and go seek with out the lights!! 8 little kids -- making fun memories....warmed my heart. I especially laughed when we heard Oscar start shrieking, and once a flashlight hit him, we had seen he had been knocked over, and with his huge puffy coat, he was turtled and couldn't get up.....sort of like Ralphie's brother....you know the one!!
The kids finally fell asleep and in the morning, we woke up with no mike and laura to be found! I figured they took off in the middle of the night: FREEDOM!! Turns out, they just left to get coffee, a box of oranges, and an iced capp for chris......here we are: french toast for breakfast, oh, and whip cream, thanks laura....sheesh! airhorns, whip cream...its on eh?
Tucker was our walking companion today.....made me miss Caleb....it's
nice to walk with a dog, even if its not mine......he is a sweet pup.
My walker partner today.....human variety......
Got home to see kids ziplining......love it! Please note Elliot on his Bike....hard core that young one!
Oscar with his happy face on! About to head outside!!
