Fishing w/ Dad & Grandpa

Gavin and Dad headed out to Grandpa Keeney's this Sunday for some morning/afternoon fishing. They took Joe Sr.'s boat out to West Medical Lake for a few hours, just long enough for both my boys (big and little) to get totally burnt. Grandpa was doing great, caught a bunch of fish to take home to Grandma to fry up!! Gavin was the net boy, grabbing all the fish from Grandpa. The big motor on the boat wasn't working well so the boys had to use the little one which took forever to get back to the shore. Poor guys were pretty wiped out when they got home, but then we headed to the Julyamsh Pow Wow in Post Falls, long day.





Helping Grandpa steer the boat.



He's got one!!!




Gavin getting the fish with the net.


Look at Grandpa's pole.....that's got to be a big one?





Wow, Gramps, nice catch.



Playing ball with Grandma when they got back. She made up a big lunch for the boys.


Nice kick! Of course Gavin got to bring home the ball.


Mom & Dad Keeney just chilling.

Despicable Me

I took the boys this weekend to a outdoor movie at a local park, "Despicable Me". They have a fun craft for the kids to do and of course lots of room to run around. We brought some blankets, popped some popcorn and headed over. We watched the sun go down and then movie time. It's such a cute movie, I don't mind watching it over and over again. It was kind of nice to sit with my boys and look up at the stars too!! Carrying their own drinks.

Making their own Minions (the little guys from the movie). Gavin of course did one with Orange hair and an orange face.


Garrett did a green one.






Playing light sabers in the park.




Getting a little bored waiting for the movie to start.


Here we go!!!!!

Riverfront Park Day w/ Friends

My friend Lisa and I have been talking about taking our boys for a bus ride downtown and spending the day at Riverfront Park. What a great day!! I took advantage of a Groupon a while ago for some half off day passes to the park. We headed to the Valley Mall to catch the bus in the morning, but we were on the wrong side of the road and missed our 1st bus. So we waited a little longer (30 min) for the next bus that took us straight downtown. We got to Riverfront around 11:00 and met up with some other friends and Ginger & Austin. The kids did all sorts of rides and I was so glad Gavin was into the rides this year. It also helped that he had some friends to ride with. I did a couple rides but got a little too dizzy to do more. Hee hee. We all took a break from rides to have some lunch and then we took the train through the park to relax a little before more rides. After the train we headed over to the Carousel and then had some ice cream. What a fun day with friends and family, we ended the day with a bus trip back to the mall. Garrett was pretty wiped out, he fell asleep on the bus, silly Garrett. :) Thanks Lisa, Heather, Ginger and kiddos for hanging out with us.

Twisty ride, I did not do this one, way too much spinning.

A little too cold to do water this day, the kids didn't miss it too much.

Bumper Boats, this was one of the few rides that Garrett did, he really liked driving the boat.

The small train ride, Gavin got to drive and ring the bell.









Connor liked this one too! Loved ringing that bell.


Gavin and Jordyn rode the Dragon roller coaster a few times.........I even rode this one, until I lost my sunglasses.







Right about the time we were heading back to the bus, it started to sprinkle, nothing big though. I really nice day weather wise.
