Fire Station Visit

All summer I've been trying to think of some fun things to do. I've always wanted to tour a fire station with the boys. Sooo I called the Valley Regional Fire Authority to schedule a time and invited 11 of the boys' friends.

I was really impressed with the tour. It was very informational and educational for the kids. By that I mean they not only saw where the firefighters worked and lived, but learned fire safety.

The kids got to see how a fire fighter got ready for a fire,
and they were also taught what to expect when the see them
coming in the house to get them, so that they aren't afraid.

Reptile Man in Bonney Lake

 

This was pretty cool. 16 ft. Boa Constrictor. Thinking about taking the family  to the Reptile Zoo in Monroe.

Good food. Good Company.

 

Time to round up the herd and head home. We made a quick stop at Snoqualmie Falls.

I was trying to get a good shot when some random tall photographer took one for me.

 

Happy Twiddy family

Riding Bicycles at the park

For the first time Cooper has actually enjoyed riding his bicycle.  

And naturally little bro, Logan is running circles around him. 

It was fun to sit back and watch. Of course this is after several days of walking/running alongside of them.

LJ at the Dentist

I sat real still for my x-rays.

But when it was time to clean and have a check up I freaked out.

 

Cooper had to come and hold my hand and tell me everything would be okay. 

Total teeth tantrum from a toddler.

On the plus side no cavities.

Cooper's Last T-ball game

Cooper's last T-ball game was tonight. He had alot fun this year and really improved his skills in the process.

Batting.

Above, Cooper at bat, Below, Cooper in the field. You would think that he'd be paying attention getting ready to field the ball, but no. Alas, kicking and playing in the dirt was more fun.

Roaming between 1st base, 2nd base and right field.

finally deciding on short stop and 3rd base.

Cooper Hit 4 homers in this game.  (In T-ball everyone gets a hit and advances one base.The last batter gets to hit the home run.)

 

He had the best cheering section!

 

Once again it was pretty hot. Cooper would take a break on the bench and put water on his head or take a quick drink.

 

At the end of all his games Logan would do a couple of victory laps around the bases.

Heading home

 The highlight of the game was watching Cooper

happily receive his 1st trophy.

Thanks to everyone who came out to support Cooper in his first year of T-ball.
