Ok so the story goes like this......there once was a little boy named Bridger. Bridger and his sister love to play outside. One day they decided to play on the red trailer, and the car that were parked in their backyard. This was just like any other day, because they often played and climbed all over the trailer and car, even though they knew their mom does not like them to climb on daddy's car. Well their mom came out on the deck just to check on them, when all of a sudden Rilynn who was currently standing in the red trailer, burst out in tears crying "Bridger broke daddy's glass." and Bridger quickly replied "It was an accident, I fell, I didn't mean to, I really just tripped and fell, it was an accident I promise." Their mom hurried down to check out the car, and found a large crater in the windshield of the car. The witness was still bawling, I guess from the shock of watching her brother trip and fall. Bridger was not hurt at all in the process, but was very remorseful. He promises never to touch or climb on any parked car ever again. They were both very lucky because their mom was so glad no one was hurt she didn't even yell at them at all. She knew it wouldn't fix anything by getting mad. The next day they all drove together to take daddy's car to get fixed. And today, Bridger and Rilynn were so excited to see the fixed car it was like magic that it was fixed, too bad it was expensive magic. The moral of this story is ... don't try climbing and sliding down on cars because your bum might put a crater in the windshield, and best of all..... we all make mistakes and have ACCIDENTS and it is wonderful to learn that they are fixable. Bridger and Rilynn also learned that even when they make mistakes their parents still love them. From hearing the story we are still unclear as to how it was Bridger's bum that broke the window, but we are super glad it wasn't his head.
I am the girls camp director and because Alex loves me so much he went to a park near our home and created an orienteering course for me to take the girls on. It turned out well, especially since the girls had about zero experience using a compass. While we arranged the course, and whie we had the activity our kids had loads of fun playing at a park they had never been to before.
Alex was gone to some training for two months, and the one thing our kids wanted to do as a family when he got home was go to the Air Force Museum. It's pretty sad we have never taken them before since it is free, and all of 5 minutes from our house. 
Maclain got the most our of seeing all of the different types of air craft. Bridger and Rilynn really like climbing over and around the ropes the best.
However they did enjoy the GIANT airplane tire.
We went to Maclain's Soccor game, and there happens to be a small play ground near so we let Bridger and Rilynn play while we watch the game. I ended up catching Bridger jumping off the dino's head. I thought the picture was so cool, because I was not very close to the park at all, so the fact I caught him in midair was cool, but I wished his hands were all the way in the picture, so I told him to do it again, this time I was ready........
This is what he did. Yes, his hands are in the photo but, it's not quite what I had in mind.
Maclain has the best goalie stance. He is always ready for the ball.
Rilynn and her friend the Dinosaurs.
There is a difference between the creative makeup inside the boy vs girl mind. However girls influenced by this boy creativity don't know the same boundaries. This is Rilynn who was at her brothers side when he learned the car lesson, happy as can be brushing grandma's cat.
Then after watching her brothers decides it looks like a great idea to join them. Not such a good idea for a two year old to try. However her brother was happy to oblige. This picture is way blurry because as I see what's happening I put an end to the taking of the little sister down the driveway on a skateboard.
We do not recomend you try this at home if you live on a busy street, because if the angle of the driveway is right, you will end up in the road.....or on your face, as you try to turn.
It takes great concentration to roll down a driveway on a skateboard.
This was the new adventure after learning climbing on cars is not such a good idea. Same day, different house, but the same devious mind.
Sorry for the very blurry picture, but I couldn't help but post it for the awsome teamwork going on, oh and the crazy tongue hanging out. As they pursued this wild adventure my parents and I just stood back and laughed the whole time. I am lucky I even got pictures because my battery was so dead the camera yelled at me every picture because it didn't want to use the flash it had no juice left hence the blurry images.
If you look close at their faces, Bridger is having the time of his life and Maclain is trying to save him from sudden injury.
These are the sad children, one witness and one accidently guilty party.
