At The Zoo

With Memorial Day weekend arriving it was decided to take opportunity of the Oregon sunshine and head to the zoo. The kids area always pretending to be various animals around the house so we thought they would enjoy seeing them again. It was a beautiful day. The kids really enjoyed the bird show during the lunch break. They enjoyed popcorn, ice cream, and icees while they were there. It was the full zoo experience. Their little legs still tire out easily so we had to get the double stroller to haul them around. This provided an unwanted workout for those pushing the stroller throughout the day. We decided to get the year pass so the kids will have ample opportunity to fine tune their animal calls.

A Day At The Park With Dad

I had the opportunity to take the kids to the park one morning before work and took along the camera to catch all those special moments you wish you had captured. Truth is I got a new camera the night before and with the sun shining bright I thought it would be a good time to try it out. I am very happy and so are the kids.

Visiting the Stubbs Ranch

The family was called into action for a day of gardening and wood cutting at the Stubbs Ranch recently. The men worked the wood splitter and the women worked in the garden getting ready for this years record crop. After a long day in the sun we all relaxed for a bit then went to visit Grandpa.

Brooklyn and Matthew Celebrate

With their birthdays less then 30 days apart, Brooklyn (4) and Matthew (3) decided to share their celebration and opted for a day at Chuck E. Cheese. With a little help from dad the the kids were able to collect enough tickets to exchange for some fantastic prizes. Matthew did manage to get lost in the the tunnels and decided the quickest way to get out would be to scream as loud as he could. With the promise of a cup full of tokens dad was able to convince another child to head in the maze for operation Rescue Matthew. Brooklyn stood by and got a little pleasure out of seeing her younger brother trapped. I think she thought it was the best birthday present ever.

Hello Family and Friends

Well since out family and friends are beginning to set their roots all around the country I thought I would make it a little easier to keep up to date on the happens of this part of the Nichols family. I do not know if I will be sharing updates through text or focusing on making sure there are up to date pictures available. I will hopefully get around to adding links the other blogs that our family members have put together.
