What child doesn't love a trampoline?

Sat Jun 5, 2010

The adults got in on the action, too.

Sat Jun 5, 2010

We were trying to do a synchronized sitting pose.

Sat Jun 5, 2010

Mathew and Erin had a turn bouncing each other.

Sat Jun 5, 2010

If you had some, you would be eating it right now.

Sat Jun 5, 2010

As my brother is happy to demonstrate.

Sat Jun 5, 2010

They very rarely stay like this for long.

Kelli was at a party with some friends at the same time.

Sat Jun 5, 2010

Jumping in the kids pool!!!!

2 parties, 2 people, yeah, Kelli and I have it covered.

Sat Jun 5, 2010

Kelli's party had plenty of food and beer on tap.

Sat Jun 5, 2010

I think it's a rule with them that they always wear tye dyes.

Sat Jun 5, 2010

Back at the bar with Erin and I, and someone bought shots.

Sat Jun 5, 2010

See what I mean about the tye dyes?

Sat Jun 5, 2010

Doug doesn't like his picture taken, but Kelli took the pictures anyway.

As an additional birthday treat, Kelli took me out for crabs.

Tue Jun 8, 2010

In just under a minute the moon bounce inflates.

Tue Jun 8, 2010

How you know you have an issue letting go of technology.

Tue Jun 8, 2010

If you're going to dress yourself, your favorite boots are what you should put on first.

Tue Jun 8, 2010

Of course she faired much better with some help getting dressed.

Tue Jun 8, 2010

Peter, I think you're too big for the toy.

And we were ready to do some tailgating.

Sun Jun 13, 2010

Kelli bought a necklace from one of the local artisans.

Sun Jun 13, 2010

It goes quite well with the one she already had.

Sun Jun 13, 2010

There was so much to see walking around the parking lot...

Sun Jun 13, 2010

Like this guy selling his artwork.

Sun Jun 13, 2010

I was trying to catch the rays of sun just right in the background......

Sun Jun 13, 2010

But after an afternoon of drinking.....

Sun Jun 13, 2010

Was having trouble getting the shot just right.

Sun Jun 13, 2010

Of course, when I did get it close, Rob was goofing off.

Sun Jun 13, 2010

A few hours after we got there, and the crowd was getting thicker.

Sun Jun 13, 2010

With the tempature dropping, Kelli decided to change into pants.

Sun Jun 13, 2010

We made it into the show just as the music started.

Sun Jun 13, 2010

We found a great place to stand.

Sun Jun 13, 2010

The blow up phish fell on us, and Kelli was happy to set it free again.

Sun Jun 13, 2010

Because, well, why not.

Sun Jun 13, 2010

Find Kelli.

Sun Jun 13, 2010

This one may be easier to find Kelli.

Sun Jun 13, 2010

I had to find Kelli walking back through the crowd.

Sun Jun 13, 2010

Well that's all for the Phish show....

Sun Jun 13, 2010

It was a really good time.

Sun Jun 20, 2010

It was a great day outside for blowing bubbles...

Sun Jun 20, 2010

So instead of 1 person making bubbles......

Sun Jun 20, 2010

I thought it would be more fun to have 2 people making bubbles.

Sun Jun 20, 2010

There were lots of bubble toys to play with.

Sun Jun 20, 2010

A pool is always good for cooling off on a hot day.....

Sun Jun 20, 2010

Lasagna is best when everyone helps to make it.

Sun Jun 20, 2010

The kids love playing with the cameras. This picture was taken by Bridget using my cell phone camera.

Sun Jun 20, 2010

The fun thing about this moon bounce, is that it supports the weight of an adult.

Sun Jun 20, 2010

Of course, once one person does something fun......

Sun Jun 20, 2010

Every single person....

Sun Jun 20, 2010

Needs to do.....

Sun Jun 20, 2010

The same thing.

Sun Jun 20, 2010

Well that's it for Spring 2010. The only thing left to do is peel back the layers of skin from being in the sun too much.
