Golden Birthdays & Bay Beach

I better post these as this week is shaping up to be busy again. We had a wonderful and busy last few days. We spent the week recovering from our trip up north and trying to get ready for the twins 3rd birthday. Grandma Grace saved us by allowing us to have the party at their house which meant we did not have to clean just cook for the party. Ben took care of most of this! So these are some pics from the big GOLDEN BIRTHDAY PARTY. It was so funny. All week Calvin would wake up in the mornings asking if today was his golden birthday party by Gigi. Clayton spent the week trying to figure out how to hold up three fingers. It was big preparation for them. Here are the results.
POOL PARTY!
They were excited to open presents. Clay on the left - Cal on the right!

Clayton figured out how to show off his 'three'!


They loved their movie chairs.


Calvin on the left now and Clay on the right!
(for those of you who notice the cake did say both names you just can't see Calvin's)


Then we had a wonderful 4th. Church, nice naps, party by my sister's, and then Slinger Speedway fireworks in the church parking lot with neighbors. No pictures but a great time!
Now on to TODAY - Bay Beach with the whole family!!! We decided to chance it even though it looked like we may get a little rain and we did but overall it was GREAT! Can not believe how much fun it is just to watch the kids faces and hear them talk about every new adventure. All the kids got to go on a ton of rides and there were no major meltdowns. Although when it was time to leave Cal really wanted to go on one more and Clay kept asking about coming back.
Cam enjoying the kiddy rides!


Clayton in the fighter planes! All the boys got pretty serious about these!


Calvin loving the fast race cars!


Kenzie loved the Carousal. Check out the rain in the background. We stayed on the ride to try and stay out of it but we still got poured on.


Twins (Calvin on left, Clayton on right) enjoyed any ride they went on!

Cam took Kenzie on her first ride! She loved it and did not want to let go when it was over.

Cam took Kenzie on another ride and this time she even cried and held on when it was over.

All three boys in the helicopter. Cameron was such a good sport with the little kids.

Cam and Uncle Troy on their favorite ride! I think they rode it at least 6 times. Even in the pouring rain! They were soaked!


We even got a family picture!!!
