When were weren't at the beach we were BBQing & hanging out in the backyard.
Loving the chance to spend time with cousins even if we only got to feed 3 ducks. Some of the cousins could have been a little happier to spend time with us. One in particular, can you guess which one? I guess we can't blame Eden for being happy to see the back of us considering all the abuse she took from Bennett for 2 weeks! I hope she has recovered & there will be no permanent physical or emotional damage! Jillian loved her little girl cousins & the boy's too but she is happy to have Parke girl cousins finally!!
We had an awesome pirate party to celebrate September birthdays. Grandma & Grandpa Parke I wanted you to see how disappointed Asher was with the cars toy you got for him. I mean just look at his face (2nd from left on the bottom row) it says it all!!! He could not have been more excited.
We took the kids mini golfing one day. Here is a question for you. If you take your 3 children mini golfing, how many are likely to pout & make it a miserable time? Our answer was 2. Bennett had the greatest time scooting the ball in the holes. Jillian & Carter complained, pouted & then sulked after Daddy's "Stop pouting at the golf course" speech (see bottom left picture).
Luckily they were able to pull themselves out of the sulks for the last hole, just in time to choose ice cream flavors they did not like as well as Daddy's & then proceed to eat all of Daddy's ice cream. After that we had to give Daddy the "stop being irritated at the mini golf course" speech:).
Isn't it a pain when you take kids to do something you think they will really enjoy, that you didn't even want to do in the first place & they are miserable the whole time!! I think they were getting tired by this time of the trip, we left the next day & it was probably just the right time, especially considering this was also the day Tennyson said he was ready for us to go home & things to get back to normal (that was the gist of it right Sierra?:).
