Outdoor adventures!

 Since the boys have been off school we've been spending a lot of time outside!  Lets just say they have A LOT of energy they need to burn and the fact that my house stays cleaner when they are outside is an added plus to outdoor time!  This week I decided to teach Kory how to ride a two wheel bike.  It took all of maybe 10 minutes and he was riding like a pro!  So proud of you Kory!  He still has trouble starting on his own, but today he even rode with one hand...till I told him to stop!  Come on...you can't start riding pro week one!  or can you? 

While outside Kyle said he found a family of Robin's.  He sure wasn't kidding.  When I went to check it out sure enough there was this cute family of birds.  The mom and dad are never far off and then there are three chicks in the the nest.  They are so cute and so quiet.  We've gone to see them everyday since we found them and they are always completely silent.  
 Here is momma...not so happy that I was taking pictures of her babies. 
 You gotta Love summer time adventures!

Yeah, you can ride like a pro on the first day! Come on. Chloe was that easy to teach, but she didn't try any one-handed tricks. Kory's pretty cool!

Chloe will love your bird pictures. She runs outside with her camera every chance she gets to take pictures of the birds in our yard. I think it's pretty fun too when we get a nest in our yard.

Oh, and I used to feel the same way about the kids being outdoors and keeping the mess outdoors, but this year it's not working so well! They are dragging it everywhere!! I really need to nip this in the bud right away!

Looks like they are having so much fun! It's way too hot here to go outside during the afternoon so we get all of our outside stuff done in the morning. I think I would invent stuff for my kids to do outside if I had five rowdy boys to entertain all day!
