A Sea of Sunflowers...

About every other year the field across from our neighborhood looks like this at the end of the summer...

It seems like a sea of sunflowers, they go on forever.  I just love it...

Name That Movie...

King Kong........Obviously:)

Going Home Means...

Feeding frenzies at every meal...

Notice the crazies above, not the girls, the boys on the cliff...)

  (When one sibling goes home... more are sure to follow :)

A world record number of blonde kids in one family...

Fun at the lake...

Dance parties on the tramp every day...

More fun times than could ever be recorded...

Blue Angels in the Heat...

My sister Ana and I took the kids to see the Blue Angels air show in Sioux Falls over the summer.  It was over 100 degrees that day - Holy Cow!  I thought we were going to roast!  But we didn't, and it was definitely worth baking in the sun to see the show.  If you have never seen a fighter jet show, put it on your bucket list.  It was AWESOME...

 They flew so close to each other, I could not believe they didn't knock each other out of the
sky.  And they were so fast that I only caught them on film 3 times out of about 30 shots!

I think that Ana and I enjoyed the show way more than all the kids,
they couldn't get past the heat...
