Nathan's baptism weekend and MORE much much more...

Silverwood was first on the list of activities that were to take place in the 4 days that we were there. The kids were so excited to go that they actually sat in the car for an hour, at least, waiting for us slow grownups. Or maybe I should say 1 slow grownup who will remain nameless.
We rode the train first.
These smiles of Aria and Jovie were just too cute not to include this post.
We must have taken a train to the past. Look at all the buffalo.
Oh no! It's a stick up!
The robber came onto the train and robbed Jovie and me of all we had.
Here is another one of those pictures of the grandkids that are just too cute not to include. :) Gabe and Nathan look "cool".
Garfield! Our new best friend all except for Jovie that is.
Gabe's face describes it all!
Jovie was having so much fun that she...
gave the worker the stink face. She refused to get off.
Not to fear another ride was near.
The log ride is a fun ride. Gabe had already been down it once with his mom and he wanted to go again. So I went with him. The thing is is that when we got close to the waterfall drop off he was telling me he didn't want to go down the waterfall. Uh, too late Gabers. He did great! I think he was still processing the drop we took:)
I was told by Aria that she didn't want to go with me on the spraying boats this year because last year when we went I didn't want to get wet. As you can see her dad, her and her brother weren't afraid to get wet.
April and I didn't want to get wet as you can probably tell. I'm glad I rode with Gabe cuz he was young enough that people didn't spray us if I asked them not too. But he drove and squirted the spray the whole time. He went in one direction so around and around in a circle we went. Fun!
Papa J was so sad that he was going to miss the best part of Silverwood...the ice-cream We all loved having some. Jovie loved hers.
Gabe's scoops are almost as big as his head. Wow!
Nathan and Aria got to be in the pre-show while we were waiting for the ice-skating show to start. It was fun to have them up there.
Aria getting ready to take the wheel. In this picture she is concentrating on knowing where the gas peddle and brake were. She did fine:)
With Silverwood behind us it was on to other activities.
We spent Friday morning at the park with Gabe's kindermusic teachers and other kids. The kids loved moving to the music in all sorts of activities.
Mae is a pro at the wheelbarrow walk. She was walking forever on her hands. Strong girl!
Nathan had a nice baptism. Nathan's daddy baptized him and his Great grandpa and Papa were the witnesses. It was sure special we are so glad that we were able to go. Gabe is so proud of his big brother.
Nathan's baptism was a beautiful day. This is the family that was able to make it to his baptism. Good looking group if I do say so myself:)
David cooked up some pretty mean hamburgers and hot dogs at the BBQ for lunch. Great Grandma and Great Grandpa enjoying some.
Misty, Shannon, Joshua and Larry enjoying some lunch too. Thanks for cooking David!
Jovie loves the water. Can you tell by her face?

Mae would not get much closer than this to the spraying water, but wait...She wanted her momma to go over to the water with her but her momma knew Mae didn't like the water spray so she told Mae that if Mae would go in then she would too. Mae immediately went over to the water and...
put her head under. YAY for Mae!!! She got you Rach. LOL
So like a good mom Rachel gets her feet wet.
Mae started to like putting her head in and every time she did she would run over to April and tell April all about it. It was cute!
Clara sporting a Mohawk and some cool shades.
It's time to end until another day which will come to spend with family and friends.
