Beautiful Orchids

Nephew's spend the night

We had fun playing with Uncle Zach's head lamp.

Aunt Mal's and Uncle Zach's TV is way too small and you have to sit real close...

Head lamp was not enough for Klaus he needed a normal flash light too.

Chilling with Uncle Zach.
No sippy cups at Aunt Mal's so travel mugs will do with milk in it.

Tara scared Klaus needed Uncle Zach to comfort him. How cute!!

Elijah comes to stay with his god mother

After spending the first night at Nanny Malorie's house we went to the bagel shop with Nana Becca and Mrs. Addey. Yay, he got chocolate milk.
Then we read 101 dalmations at the bagel shop
After Nanny Mal got back from work we went to the park with Liam and Aunt Sarah.



You go Liam!
They went to say Hi to the ducks, but then it was getting too cold so we went home.
That night we all (Nanny Mal, Zach, Elijah, Greg, Sarah, Liam, Pa, and Rosie) went to a Habachi Grill. The show was so much fun. The chef would say "watch out for your eyebrows" before he would do fire and Liam covered his eyebrows. It was precious.

They gave Elijah water with a strawberry decoration on top

The next day Elijah got dressed up in his Peter Pan costume that Jessica made and headed off to the Renaissance Festival. Elijah went all the way to Germany to get that shield and sword.



We went through a Dragon cave because he had to slay a dragon since he had a sword.
Elijah trying on some claws. (probably plotting to get back at Tara for stepping on him with her claws)

Then there was horrific sword fight. Uncle Zach was merciless. Elijah failed to shield himself in time.

Here is a look at the damage up close. Looks like the sword got lodged in his cheek!
(and yes as in all battles he had glitter sprinkled on him)
OOOOOWWWWW, THIS HURTS!!! SO MUCH BLEEDING!!! MY NOSE IS BLEEDING TOO!
In order to make up for the brutal beating he got. Zach let him ride the merri-go-round
Don't worry, he didn't bleed out, he just conked out.

Mr and Mrs Wisinger!!!

Crew 204's Lemonade Stand Fundraiser

Crew 204 had a both at a plant sale. Some of us worked at our lemonade stand to raise money for our Crew and others helped volunteer. The boys helped load fertilizer and such into cars. I was a "Plant Wrangler". I pulled red wagons full of plants to peoples cars for them. We were very happy to have raised over $100!!
I took a few pictures of the pretty flowers.




The next two will actually attract butterflies :)
