The Professor's Posse: Utah trip

We had a great visit with the Schonlaus a few weeks ago. Complete with a water fight, milkshakes, a pinata, croquet, and our own personal bouncehouse...what else do you need?

Here are some hilarious pictures of our water fight. Okay, not "our" water fight. I held the camera so I wouldn't get sprayed. "Their" water fight. :)

Here is one girl who's not afraid of retaliation!

Here are all the water people except Robby and Gina: Rob, Grandpa Bob, Erica, cousin Nancy, and uncle Justin

Rob was looking at these pictures with me and he pointed out his amazing dodge of Justin's bucket of water. We burst out laughing when we saw the next picture. It looks like Justin learned from his mistakes!

Here is Robby going for the hose and spigot. This kid doesn't mess around.

Here is another funny series of events. Really funny if you aren't the one getting thrown in the kiddy pool.

Nancy and Bob planned something really special. Since we rarely get to be together on our birthdays, they decided to have a birthday party for all of us!! They decorated a beautiful cake with flags representing each family member, those present and far away. It was really special. We had party plates, hats, games, and a pinata. The kids especially liked it because we each got a present. :) Thank you for being so thoughtful, Bob and Nancy!

Here is our family with our peices -- I was trying to focus on the smiling for the camera, but I was really just wondering who got the biggest piece! ;)

Who needs a guard-dog when you can have a 6-yr-old wielding a bat?

Robby really mastered his swing. Of course, candy is a good incentive.

It always amazes me how fast our babies seem to learn when we go on vacation. Here is Jacob trying to hit a croquet ball.

Here are the Schonlaus - Gina, Nancy, Bob, and Rob. We miss everyone else!!!

Here is THE bouncehouse that Grandpa Bob and Grandma Nancy have. As you can imagine, it's what our kids remember most about being with the Schonlaus. Their own private bouncehouse!
