The James and Josh Adventure is Ending...


Well, we have had a great few days with James and Josh at our house. We take them back home today, so the fun is ending. Here are a few, well a lot, of pics of our fun time together. This may be a picture overload for most of you, but I just had to post them and believe me, I could have done A LOT more!

So, one of our many activities was a water balloon fight. Jill and I filled balloons for an hour and the kids destroyed them in 5 mins. So worth the work???

We told everyone to go get James. He LOVED being the target. Seriously.
This picture cracks me up.
James was a pretty good escapee.

James is getting Andrew back here. You can even see the balloon exploding on Andrew.
Trent threw a balloon right on Aiden's forehead. He had the leftovers on his head the rest of the fight.
Morgan just watched. I think she liked it.
Paige and Oakley being goofy in the pool.

Last night we decided to go on a hike. Everyone had a good time, that is until they would trip on a stump or rock, then they thought they were dying.

The group on the trail.

ALL of us. It was quite a sight to see us all hiking.
Trent and our girls. So darn cute.
Josh and Aiden. I don't know how their faces got so dirty???
Since we were in a nature mood with the hiking, the kids and Trent slept in the tent last night. This was a first for James and Josh.
The boys and Oakley lined up in the tent.

We really did have a great time and we hope that Brad and Heidi had an even better time on their cruise. So Jealous!
