Catching up

The man and I recently took a long vacation to Europe without the kiddos. So of course I am far behind on updating photos of the boys. I'll start way back on May 3rd, when we attended a Spiderman birthday party for our neighbor who turned 3. This was the jumping castle:



and the masks:



and the pinata:



After the party we went to a wedding. The boys attended the ceremony, which was a big mistake. Nick basically walked around the church screeching and laughing as loud as he could. Here he is, pleased with himself:



and the bride and groom, less pleased with him:



A few days later the boys went swimming in the new whale pool our neighbor got for the summer season. Here is a video of their complicated running and screaming game:



and a few photos:



And yes, they are wearing matching outfits.



Nick doesn't really like swimming as much as the bigger boys. He prefers to watch from afar:



Or just get in his towel and rest:



Our next big outing was to see the butterflies at the Desert Botanical Gardens. They leave for the summer, so this was our last opportunity to see them. There was a lot of pointing going on:







And just some general viewing of butterflies:





Some socializing:



construction equipment:



a little juice:



and a fountain:



That's as far as I've gotten in the editing of photos. We have more to put up from our trip to the zoo and our Memorial Weekend party.
