Flynnstock 2010!

Flynnstock 2010 @ the Farm!  Unfortunately, after a lot of planning, we realized we had a wedding the day of Flynnstock.   We didn't want to miss Grandma Flynn's birthday or seeing Aunts Candia and Kateri and Cousin Kayvon who were home from TX for a few weeks though.  So, we headed up North for the day before the party.  Lucky for Caelin, Aiden and Kiera...the jumpy house was there a day early so they got the party started early.  While the Flynn's went tubing for Grandma's birthday, Caels and Keira spent some QT bouncing around (and snoozin') in the jumpy house!  We had a great time playing around and seeing everyone and HAPPY BIRTHDAY Grandma Flynn!

We <3 the Jumpy House!

Bounce with me!

Caelin & Arden!

Today we had a play date with Arden.  We started off at Wilson Farm to see the farm animals.  To our disappointment there were only some chickens and sleeping pigs.  Oh, and Belle the llama- whose mission was to blow it's nose on each and every one of us...GROSS!  After a quick trip to Wilsons, we headed to Mario's for lunch.  The girls tried to out do each other but in the end, I am pretty sure Caelin threw more forks, spoons and napkins than Arden did...guess we need to work on meal etiquette!  We then took a walk to the common and just hung to play.  The girls had a great time running around on the grass, playing bubbles and pretending to walk their strollers.  Thanks Arden for meeting up, we had  a  great afternoon!

Yaay...Bubbles!

Cape Cod 2010

One post just wouldn't cut it for our fantastic 2 week vacation down the Cape.  It was so nice to sit back and relax and forget about work for a little while.  World Cup soccer was on the first week, so we got to see all the games and enjoy the finals....congrats to SPAIN!!  The rest of the time we bummed around the beach, hung out with friends and went for about a bazillion walks!  It was tough to come back but gives us something to look forward to next summer! 

The YF's, Cape Cod 2010

We love the Cape!

"Buh Bye" beach =:(

Good times at the beach!

12 buckets later, it never got old!

That water was chilly!

Hi guys!

Lazy summer days...

Being on vacation for 2 weeks was luxourious!  Most of our time was spent relaxing at the cottage watching world cup games, playing in the backyard or at the beach and taking walks around the area.  Caelin loved hanging out in her beach chair and on the couch.  She would put a pillow behind her head, lay down and just chill...it was all too cute!

Go Netherlands!

Trying on Mum's hat!

Loves to take her stroller for a walk...

Snack time on the couch!

Waiting for a very important call...

Ahh....

Reading with Mum

Visits from Friends!

Caelin had a few visitors while we were away.  Everyday was a beach day, so we headed to the beach to hang out and play!  Thanks for coming to visit!!

1st kiss...of the day!

Cute Cousins!

Chillin' with Alex!

Mini Golf and Ice Cream!

Auntie Kellie joined us for the first leg of vaca and so we had to make a  few trips to Sundae School and also to play mini golf.   Caelin got her own club this year but wasn't really into it.  She was however very excited to chase after every ones ball and carry them all around!  Every now and again she would put one ball in the hole and so we would snatch it up so we could keep playing!  As for ice cream- strawberry remains the favorite.  We tried to change it up to suger-free banana, but she was not as interested.  She knows what she likes!!

Hole in 1!

So good!

Beach bum....not this kid!

Picture it....West Dennis, 2010.  Caelin steps onto the sand, wobbles down towards the water, starts splashing and plays for hours.  At 5 o'clock, we drag her from the beach, kicking and screaming because she just wants to stay and play.  Hahaha....if only that is what our first trip to the beach looked like!  More like a twenty minute quick trip of Caelin crying, refusing to put her feet near the sand and very clearly stating "NO" as we walked toward the water! So, to combat her lack of interest in the beach, we started off slowly with water play in the backyard (in pots and pans) and early morning (you bet- 6:30am!) trips to get used to the sand and water and enjoy some peace and quiet (i.e. no one else wanted to be woken up at 6am)!  As you will see in later pictures, it all paid off- by the end of week 2, Caelin was rolling in the sand and going for swims with one of us!

Beach toys in a pot!

That's right, I'm 1!

Breakfast on the beach

Testing it out!

Happy 4th!

The 4th of July is the start to the Y-F family vacation!  We lucked out this year and got to head to the Cape on Friday night, so we beat the Saturday traffic and got ourselves settled in.  On Saturday, we headed back up to cousin Bailey's enjoying the beach and a bbq.  Then on the 4th, Caelin walked in the Kelley Pond Circle parade!  We were a little low on props, but we promise by the time she is riding her own bike in this event we will decorate her bike just like the other kiddo's!

Ready for the beach, where's Bailey?

Where's CMYF?

Waving to the folks along the route!

Happy 4th of July!

Dinner and a movie?

After a great field trip to the zoo, Connor came over for a dinner date with Caelin.  The two dined on chicken, vegi's and watermelon for dessert.  They passed on the movie part of the date and played with Connor's toy cookie jar instead!

Perfect pic for their wedding slideshow...right?

Monkeys, Giraffes, Deer...Oh My!!

We took our first trip to the zoo today! Gray even woke up early on her last day visiting to join our crazy crew of 4 kids and 5 adults as we headed off to the zoo! We saw tons of monkeys, some sleeping lions, toucans and plenty of goats and deer. The kids enjoyed walking through the deer park and feeding the deer corn--no fear for even the little ones! They walked right up and around them! The petting zoo part too have a ton of 'kids' (baby goats) to feed too, which was fun for everyone. All of the kids held out through lunch and then all zonked out on the ride home!

Connor, Caelin, Makenna and Colby!

We are ready for the parakeet show to begin!
