Labor Day

Labor Day weekend in the Wood family- what a fun tradition it's become. It's always relaxing on the farm and the Home Run Derby was a success (although not in Ryan's opinion.)

"And this spike is what I'll use to beat up boys who come to the house to date you."

The guys getting warmed up.

Emerson and her great-grandpa Wood.

It's an Easton bat by the way...

Sarah (+1) and my future sister-in-law, Courtney.

I guess the winner holds the bat. Good news for Chris...

...bad news for Ryan who's won the past two years.

Yes, we have a cake.

Sweet thing, she thought bags was just her own tiny slide.

My first video- it only took 3 years! Ryan has the camera in Alaska so that's to blame for my lack of updates. The girls and I were hanging around the house the other night and Emerson didn't want her squash so I let her feed it to Easton. Cuteness ensued.

Tuesday with Corey

Corey and the girls and I had a little session in downtown Independence for fun. WHAT fun we had and we've got some amazing pictures to show for it. They've been on FB for awhile now but I needed to put them on the blog to remind myself in 30 years that I fit into that pink dress...

This one's my favorite.

Our Crazy Week

Nat's granddaughters came in from Texas for a visit- they're 9 and 12 so we wanted to keep them busy and to have fun. The first day it rained so we went to the Steamboat Arabia which I hadn't been to in years. It was interesting and my girls did surprisingly well. On Wednesday we all went to Worlds of Fun. All four girls loved it and we had a great time. Camp Snoopy is completely new and Emerson had a great time. Easton didn't get to ride a whole lot but next summer she'll be able to do more.

Emerson spotted Snoopy right away. I was surprised with the hug...

Julia and Chloe and Emerson and Easton.

I was not very fond of this twisty nest thing. I almost puked.

Easton- not so fond of the pink caterpillar ride.

I wanted to get a picture of the girls by the Peanuts people but my scaredy cat Emerson wouldn't go near them.

So Thursday AND Friday we went to Oceans of Fun. It was awesome. I hadn't been there in probably 15 years and a lot has changed. The area for little kids was perfect.

It took a little coaxing but both girls loved the slide.

My mom and I had such a great time we decided to get season passes to the parks for next summer. Growing up we always had passes to Oceans of Fun so it'll be fun to be able to go as much as we'd like. We just have to get through winter first....
