Fun and Games with Family


Keith took that Kids on a Father and Family activity to Boomers where they played golf, rode in go-carts, bumper boats and even did the climbing wall. Here is Jenna getting ready to practice her driving skills.

Connor tells us that his sport is "Miniature Golf."In this picture you can see his great form; Tiger Woods better watch out. We had a number of "Holes in One" in this game so if must be in the genes.

Here is Haley getting ready for her putt. Riley and Jenna are also in the picture. The day was beautiful , but extremely hot!

Jenna is Driving! I have to say that she does a great job. My knuckles are no longer white and I can breath easily as she drives me around town. Her behind the wheel test will be this Dec 17th. Good Luck Jenna! As you can see, her braces are also off and her teeth are ready for those Hollywood close ups.

This summer the boys put together a make believe paper game for Connor that they would play nearly every evening. Jarret or Riley would be narrator and they would even have back ground music playing on the lap top to add texture to the game. Connor loved it as you can see by his face in this picture.

Connor has been "blanketed" by his brothers. It doesn't look like he is to worried about it.
He seems to like the torture and abuse that they put him through.

Here Shaun and Riley are with their captive, guarded by a pistol Riley brought home from his mission. It looks totally like the real thing, I don't know how he got it back into the country.
I hope that my sheets and blankets survive this latest hostage taking.

This summer the family was addicted to the "Bean Game" and we played it nearly every night. Amazingly enough, Connor was usually the winner even though he gave his cards away with no thought of repayment. Somehow this strategy worked for him.

Here we are at the "Club" enjoying the pool and again Connor is being tortured. We had a tradition of going to the club nearly everyday this summer. Riley, Keith and Jarrett would do p-90 together. While Jenna and Haley worked out in the weight room, I would walk around the golf course or swim with Connor. Connor would sometimes do p-90, play raquet ball or shoot some hoops while waiting for his brothers. Then everyone would jump in the pool to cool down before going back home for dinner.

Shaun came out to be with us nearly every weekend. It is great to have the entire family together again after so many years. Shaun was six years old when he first started swimming in this pool. The SOS club has really changed over the years. When the kids were little is was full of families. Then they took out the diving boards, kids fountain and brought in the swim team that took over the pool. Now we are usually the only family swimming on the weekends. We are not complaining since it is fun to have the pool and barbecues to ourselves.
