Noblesville Summer Fun

This may look like a crib, but don't you know...it's a monkey cage.  Not sure how this little game got started, but Lucas loved playing "monkeys."  Sophie followed right along with it.  They are definitely not asleep here.  As you can see in the next picture, the monkeys are just resting up to do more "tree" climbing.  Silly kids!

Also had time for some construction work.  Looks like Lucas is writing up the orders and Sophie is doing all the work.

 Time for a break after all that hard work.

 And a little swimming...

 The splash park was great fun on such a hot day.

 Before...

and after.

Sophie also enjoyed this little trick, but I didn't get a picture of her for some reason.  She got a pretty good nose-ful once, but went right back and tried again.

 The kids went on a nature hunt.
Zara had to find items to match the pictures on her carton.

Caden had to find different colored leaves, flowers and rocks.

Zara enjoyed the color swirl experiment.  

Then she did some experiments of her own!

 In case you can't tell, she is sitting IN the barn.  Crawled in herself...

 Grandma  has to spoil them a little... McD's for lunch.

 Notice the healthy apple added to this yummy chicken nugget  lunch.

 No drums?  No problem.  Just make your own.
