Walks and hikes

We had a fun week, we are enjoying the end of summer around here. Less than two weeks until school starts! I can't believe it.
 The boys helped with dusting and cleaning the front door.
 Ruby got all dressed up and went out for the day with Aunt Katie and Cora. They had fun!
 Meanwhile, I took the boys on a very long walk through the Oak Hills neighborhood. Reid kept choosing to go the long way and it ended up being a super long walk! This is the progression we went through...
Collecting rocks and flowers...
...tired, time to sit down...
 ...so tired, time to lay down in the shade...
 ...it was a challenge to get them all the way home. Hah!
 After a nice nap for Miles we had fun with water in the back yard. Poor Reid has to be careful to not get his cast wet, but he's pretty good at it. Miles liked the waterslide.
 Cutie Ruby loves the trampoline.
 They flooded the play house!
 We took the back off of Ruby's booster seat and she fits well and loves it! She's really growing up.
 Andy and I had to go get our wills notarized (which ended up not working out anyway), so we took the kids over for Patty to watch them at Becca's house with Frances. Then we grabbed pizza on our way home and had a living room picnic. :)
 Hahaha, he is so silly.
 Ruby put this pretty bow and twist in my hair.
 We have so much fun watching the tractors across the street. They've been putting in water/sewer lines lately.
 Afternoon movie choices... they finally settled on Cars 2, Reid's current favorite.
 Thursday night we went down to Jon and Janelle Furman's for dinner. Miles had his first Skittles and kept saying, "Mmmmm, yummy! I love these!" It was a super late night though and they've all been sleeping bad since then. :(
 On Friday morning we went to the MOPs meetup at a park. 
 You wouldn't know it, but there are 5 kids hiding in these plants. They had lots of fun with my friends' boys, until they were all throwing sticks and Reid gave another kid a bloody nose... oops!
 We went to Vose Elementary for the last free lunch of the summer and Andy met us there. They have such a fun playground!
 Reid's cast hand is getting so gross. We try to wash it, but it's kind of impossible. At least it's coming off tomorrow.
 He's so cute.
 Static slide hair!
 Someone at the MOPs play date took this cute picture. :)
 Ruby had Mickey and Minnie get married. <3
 We went over to check out the diggers. This one is so huge! That's Reid next to it.
 I came from the kitchen to the living room and found him like this. :)
 On Monday I took the kids to Greenway Park to do the Fanno Creek trail. It was SO fun! They just kept running and running, and stopping to throw rocks into the river.
 About half way down the trail we suddenly came to a flood.
So Ruby found a trail to the left and we made it around the flooded part! Then we played at a playground for a while.
Heading back to the car. I sure love adventures with these guys. <3
