Black Outs & Hanging Out

Way back in July our area had a severe storm and experienced wide spread power outages that lasted several days in some neighborhoods.  Luckily for us, we did not lose power, but Jenny and both of Tim's Parents did.  Another positive was that the worst of it occurred over a weekend.  Jenny brought Brayden over to our house and stayed for almost two full days to escape the heat at her house.  The boys played wonderfully together and went through all kinds of fun activities.

On the first day there was the Pirate Table and throwing water at each other. (Yes, naked.)

 

Shortly after that we all had dinner and sent the big boys downstairs to watch a movie while we watched grown up movies upstairs!

The next morning Jenny and Brayden had actually gotten up really early and left.  Timmy and I were both sad they were already gone, but it turned out they had just gone for breakfast and were back quickly!  We built a fort for Timmy and Brayden and they had a great time hanging out inside. Tyler was not a fan of sitting underneath, but he didn't mind going through it like a tunnel, so he took a few turns too.

The fort was then turned inside out and the boys piled up all our pillows and took turns jumping off of the ottoman into the pile.

Next came pillow fighting with Tim.

Which he quickly turned into sword fighting themselves.

Finally they were pretty well worn out.

So they took a break for popsicles.  Tyler tried to keep up with Timmy and Brayden through all their activities.  When he saw the popsicle he was determined not to let his age keep him back!  I love that Timmy decided to take matters into his own hands and make Tyler face the camera!

I love these blonde boys!!!
