Children's Museum

Shane always begs to go to this museum when we are in Palm Springs, his wish came true

Palm Springs part 2

Pool side action

Shane would rather float underwater by himself than go down the slide. He wasn't that into it

Hailey loved the waterslide and was able to break the rules (under age) by going alone. She went on the slide for 1.5 hours straight

One happy girl at the bottom of the slide getting ready to go up

Palm Spings- Westfield

10 Families from our neighborhood went to Palm Springs for the week. The kids had a continuous party for 7 days. Thank you MariAnn for hooking everyone up with rooms!
The SpongeBob Trio

Hailey was wired the whole trip

Shane shooting Hailey (I'm sure)

The group-26 kids from Westfield, only 8 were girls

Newest Addition

We had some friends over for dinner and the kids were all running around outside while we were eating. One of the kids came into the house yelling, "Check this out, come and see". Right then Shane walks into the dining room and he is holding a baby peacock. He said it got stuck in the bushes and couldn't move and was cheeping calling for it's mom who was long gone. So now we have 4 Chicks.

I said to Jesse, "We aren't keeping that thing are we?" And of course he said, "Yes we are". The kids like the peacock more than the chickens now!

On a sad note- The peacock died 2 days later, i guess they need their mommies, unlike chicks! We learned the hard way.

Summertime

Some cute pictures from the summer so far

You know you have a little Mehlberg in you when......

you can do this 5 times in a row. Shane tried it this morning for the first time and is now hooked on grapes!

Noah's Arc

8 wild animals on Noah's Arc

Caught Shane and Kyle holding hands

The Rainbow Arch

As we were leaving Shane said, "We (meaning the group) only got in trouble 4 times today." Translation- They had a Blast!

Hooters

We tried out a new restaurant called The Habit and as we were eating i asked Shane how he like his hamburger. He said, "It's really good, it tastes like Hooters but this place looks like In n Out."

Then the following day i asked him what he would like to do tomorrow and he quickly said, "Can we go to Hooters again."

He really thinks highly of Hooters......... (food) that is

A nice mellow day

The kids had a great idea to have turtle races, they were so entertained

Ready, Set, .....

Go!

Another successful Slip n Slide party- 13 kids and no injuries!

Hailey had to bring her 3 stuffed animals down every time

Jesse had the kids for a few hours, all to himself, and this is where they ended up. The food was awesome he said.
