The Shooks: June 2014

My pictures are out of order, but I'll tell you about our day in order. :) We started out our Saturday morning with some cinnamon rolls. Then we went to a building event at Lowe's. The boys each built a dragon with Eric's help while Julia and I wandered Lowe's. Next stop was Tallmadge (a local town) for a touch-a-truck event. The kids all had fun there. They got to climb in and out of lots of trucks. Julia was very happy to get to run along with the boys and climb all around. After touch-a-truck was Toys R Us for a Lego event. We didn't take any pictures here, but the boys each got a bag of Legos and were instructed to be "Master Builders." Anyone who hasn't seen the Lego Movie may not be familiar, but no worries, it comes out on DVD Tuesday so you can watch it soon :) We also walked around the store and looked at lego sets and trains. Julia loved the baby aisle. Next stop was home for some late lunch and naps for the 2 little ones. Oliver played more legos during their naps. Once everyone was awake, we headed outside to play for awhile. After a quick supper, we headed back outside. The kids all had bomb pops- Julia had to be topless for hers- white shirts and bomb pops don't mix well. They had a lot of fun playing outside. The boys have 2 ropes that they like to tie and run through things to make booby traps- those ropes have provided hours of entertainment. Julia is just happy to be along with the boys. Happy Saturday!

While at touch-a-truck, they had a helicopter land. You can see from the little girl's hair that it definitely got windy. The kids thought it was cool, but the line to go in was crazy long so we just looked from around it.
