The Crazy (emphasis on crazy) Good Life

So, the last few weeks have been crazy busy for us. We have all the regular business start up duties to attend to (and that list grows more every.single.day. I had no idea, for reals). We went down to Cascade for the 4th of July weekend, got back on Monday the 5th, and left for a semi-impromptu road trip to Minnesota on Thursday the 8th. That road trip was business related, we went to pick up a large piece of equipment that required towing. Soooo, all 6 of us drove to the land of 10,000 lakes in Ray's truck. We were all about the family closeness, literally. It was a whirlwind of a trip that we ALL took so we could visit Ray's family that we don't get to see very often. I will thoroughly document as soon as I have time (has anyone seen my time?!). Anyway, in between the time we got back from Cascade and left for Minnesota we took a trip to Silverwood Amusement Park to celebrate my friend Misty's birthday (we let the kids tag along ;) ). Naomi had been throwing up the night before we went so Ray stayed home with her while I took the 3 olders. We had such a great time!! We stayed until the park closed. The kids really had the time of their lives!

I just had my little point and shoot camera, but here you go!

I just wish you could see Gabe and Elliot's faces in this shot! (they are in the front) They could not get enough of the mini-roller coaster! Elliot still talks about it!

We had a great time!! We also went to the awesome water park but I didn't get any pictures because I spent the whole time frantically trying to keep my eyes on all of my kids!! We only lost Elliot a few times (I wish I was kidding), but the weather was great and we had some great company. Can't wait to do it again next year!!

Rebecca, this is really awesome. It's great that you still can find time to do the fun things with the kids in the middle of all the startup craziness. And P.S. The one picture of you is really good. Seriously. You look great.

What's that move that Maggie's doing? Looks like one of Elliot's bread dance moves. Like father, like son, like sister.
