The Summer of Gatorade and Camden

The kids spent a lot of time with my friend Lynn's son Camden this Summer.  Lynn had a new baby, Colesen, this Summer so she's been very adventurous with us!  Very early in the Summer we were somewhere with Camden and he had Gatorade....and that started the massive hysteria around our house.  My kids wanted it and they wanted it constantly!  The Gatorade also caused lots of problems.  Keaton wanted to drink it out of the bottle.  It was a very big deal to him.  But Nolan couldn't so they had to drink it out of cups with tops on them "baby cups."  I can't even count the millions of times we talked about the container the Gatorade would be drank out of.  I remember one time when Nolan was being bad and Keaton saying "if Nolan goes to time out can I have Gatorade out of the bottle."  It was the talk of the Summer!

We had so much fun with Camden this Summer! He was like a brother to my kids!  Colesen was pretty awesome too and hung out with us on all our adventures and didn't cry a bit! 

We had picnics!

We went to the zoo (unfortunately since they acted like brothers Nolan was the youngest and did get picked on sometimes).

We went to the Pacific Science Center where we saw a 3-D Imax movie and the Lego exhibit.

We made cake and learned about how colors can change into other colors.  We also learned that with Gatorade.  Blue Gatorade into a red cup makes it purple.  They did learn a few things this Summer.

We went swimming a lot!

We went to the movie, Zootopia, at a winery and Lynn brought McDonald's.  They were definitly popular with the other kids.

The kids had professional pictures taken for Lynn's work (orthodontics office) so they may appear in the brochures and pictures on the walls if they make the cut.

I love how Camden usually has his arms crossed in pictures looking mad! It is so funny since I know he's having fun!  It's something a brother would do.
