Video Game Fun

Early in the month we spent an evening with the Staudes who returned to the Santa Ynez Valley after a yearlong stint in Illinois. Tyler had fun hanging out with Rachel and trying out Mario Kart on their Wii. Then later Bill was coaxed into trying out Guitar Hero. He did pretty well for his first time. Later in the month while Bill was away on his business trip to the UK Alana’s parents came down and Grandpa tried out his skills on Alana’s Wii Fit. It was pretty funny watching him trying to figure out the whole thing.

Everyone got in on the act

Rachel sings pretty well!

Even after the game was over Grandpa was still trying to figure it out.

Jessica’s Birthday Party

Good friends, play pools, a bounce house and birthday cake. What more could a kid ask for? Tyler was very excited to be going to his girlfriend Jessica’s house to help her celebrate her 4th birthday. It was a very hot day so they ended up pulling out their little play pools. We neglected to bring swim trunks (as did most everyone else) so Tyler splashed around in his underwear.

Pool time!

Getting ready for the cake

Wow, nice princess castle cake!
