Fun Photos Friday – #14

Bubble time!

Bubble time!

Happy Friday everyone! Friday is definitely one of my favorite days of the week. I always look forward to more unstructured time with family.  I also know I am going to sneak in reading time on my deck which I have to say I have been doing a lot of even on weekdays as of late.

This week’s picture is of Apollo playing with his bubbles. I am always happy to see my kids’ reaction to bubbles. It is such simple past time and they simply enjoy it.

At first he couldn’t blow them. He either blew too hard or too soft so I would blow them and he and his brother would chase and pop them.  Now that he mastered the art of blowing his own,  he even puts his tech toys down to play.  Let’s face it, bubble never get old.

Hope you find something simple and fun to do this weekend.

Have a blessed Friday!

Happy Friday!  The week blew past and another weekend is upon us.

A new game guide arrived!

Clearly my boys have not inherited my inability to truly master basic gaming abilities.  Both boys seem to play their Wii and DS games a few times and then can run circles around most.

Nicholas also puts in time with game guides and online tips.  So when his latest game guide arrived in the mail yesterday, he was one happy boy.  I took one look at it and realized that even with a guide or online help, I am hopeless. So much so that when he asks me to “play” with him, he tells me to hold the guide and read for him. Which by the way is not playing.  What happened to Centipede and those games that I actually could play? I liked the simplicity of one control. Now you have to practically take a class to play some of the newer games. Oh well, I guess I must adapt…

Have a blessed day!

Happy Friday!  Wow did this week fly by. I have been running around having fun with my girlfriend who is visiting from California this week and trying to keep up with my posts at the same time.  Even squeezing in a tiny bit of crafting and I mean tiny!

Well on with this week’s photo…

Well I could possibly be the last person to get hooked on the Avatar The Last Airbender Cartoon series. When it was first airing on the television a few years ago, I missed the beginning and realized that it is important to start from the beginning to appreciate the cartoon. My sister-in-law and two of my brother-in-laws kept telling me how it is really great.

When the series ended my husband bought the DVDs.  So this summer, almost nightly we all sit around the TV and watch 2 sometimes 3 episodes back to back.  The boys love it and can I tell you I am really enjoying it. It  is great for kids and adults and has some really great messages underlying the story lines.

This week’s picture is of the boys taking some warrior stances from Avatar while we were hanging out at Crane Beach.

Have a great weekend!

Fun Photos Friday – #11

Wow, it’s been way too long since I posted a Fun Photos Friday and believe me, it’s not because I ran out of photos. I think I have just been moving in all sorts of directions and lost sight of it.  I thought I would start us off with photos from our recent water park adventure.

Going to Water Wiz on the Cape!

Going to Water Wiz on the Cape!

We spent a lot of time doing outdoors activities while I was growing up on Cape Cod, like fishing, biking, swimming, clam and quahog digging, catching lobsters in our traps and the list goes on. But can I tell you how many times we rode passed this Water Wiz park and never went? Many. So last year, my sister, Leao and I took the boys and we loved it. It was great fun. So this year, we had to go again and it was equally as fun.

Most of the pictures ended up being of Apollo since my sister and I watched him while Leao and Nicholas went on all the large slides. No time for kiddie slides for them!  The weather was amazing as usual. Not too hot but warm enough to appreciate getting into the water.

He couldn’t get enough of the variety of slides for his age. We were even able to snag some chairs and catch some sun while watching him.

Love this photo of Apollo entering the water and making a big splash!

I was really pleased with the photos I captured on my iPhone especially the rising water. So cool.

He only came out of the water a few times to talk to me. He kept finding more places to go so I was not that interesting.

Auntie joined him on the ship for a picture.

Once again we had fun and will be sure to go again next year.  There is so much to do and the weather on the Cape is pretty amazing.

I definitely will be putting some of these photos in some scrapbook albums so they can relive the good times.

Have a blessed day!
