Fishing ended a week early for us this year. We had one of our shortest and best seasons ever.

Having fun with a new app that distorts pictures.

This is Oscar- he's a neighborhood dog that Bennett has become quite attached to.

Bennett's 7th Birthday Party

... at the skateboard park.

Go! Go!! Go!!! Glenn

Glenn still hasn't given up the balance bike yet. She'll ride the pedal bike for a few minutes, then jump back on the balance bike.

Glenn on her new pedal bike.

Glenn wanted pink pedals so with some spray paint she got them.

After seeing Glenn's pink pedals, Ben wanted his purple.

Fudge Bars- YUM YUM YUM!!!

Bennett loved playing in his mud pit- couldn't get enough of it

I went out several times checking on him and I'd find him like this- just sitting in the middle of the pit- glorious!

Bennett not only has a natural tennis swing but a baseball swing as well.

More fudge bars.

Happy Easter!

GhostRider- One of the longest and tallest white knuckler roller coasters in the world. 4533 ft. of twisting unforgiving timber with a 108 ft. initial banked drop, 13 additional drops, sudden dips, banked turns and G forces of 3.14.

Hanging on for dear life. We were going so fast that it felt like the car was going to jump off its tracks and fly through the air. One ride was enough for me.

A wet day at the park. No lines however for the rides!!!

Knott's Berry Farm- thumbs up!
