Nature Hike
On July 25th the boys and mommy went to the Indian Creek nature center. They have a trail that was created for preschoolers. They have a guide for the parents with a map and guiding questions for the 12 different activities for the kids. The boys had so much fun and it was beautiful! Something we'll definitely be doing again soon. 
Picking out "special" rocks.
Playing hopscotch
The fish pond, we didn't see any fish today!
Suspension bridge
Building and stacking
Climbing the rocks
NOT HAPPY about stopping to pose for a picture!
Looking at shells
Tee pee
Playing music
Throwing rocks into the river
The train tracks went right by the trail. Tucker thought it was great, but Griffin (who really loves trains) decided it was too loud!
Tucker took these next 2 photos. They're pretty artistic!
After our nature hike we went downtown to check out the river and have lunch with Daddy. It was a great day!

Monster Trucks
July 23 Daddy took Tucker to a Monster Truck show at Hawkeye Downs. They were both SO excited!
They got to watch the trucks race and crash cars.
Tucker cheering!
This truck is "Stinger" it was Tucker's favorite. He even got a t-shirt with this truck on it.
This was one of Tucker's favorite parts. 2 trucks were hooked up to opposite sides of a car and then they pulled!

Avise-Rouse Family Vacation
The Avise-Rouse's got together for a big family vacation. There are 20 of us, so it takes a lot of scheduling to get us all together. We went to King's Point Waterpark Resort and spent 3 days having an amazing time! 
There was a really fun playground we enjoyed when we first got to town.
Tucker had so much fun on the roller slide
Uncle Miah, cousin Kristian and Megan climbing
Of course, we spent tons of time in the waterpark! Cousin Kurtis in the pool.
Uncle Kelly, Aunt Jill and Grandma Denise taking a break.
Cousin Tre jumping off the diving board.
Cousin Kassidy swimming.
Griffin loved splashing around in his floatie. He also really liked the tubes on the lazy river. He leaned over the edge and splashed and scared mommy!
Uncle Kris taking a break and reading.

Cousin Casey and Aunt Nicole
The slides - Mommy and Daddy went on all of them, even the scary ones! Tucker even got to go on the tube slide with Daddy, twice!
Cousins Renee and Kassidy
Daddy and Tucker on the tube slide at the indoor waterpark. Tucker was very brave with his Lightning McQueen life jacket on! The end of the last day we finally got him to swim back and forth between us with his life jacket on. He just had to realise that it would hold him up!

Cousin Tre watching cousin Renee on the slide.
Cousin Kurtis
Tucker really loved this slide, it was indoors and at the bottom it had it's own little trough so you didn't end up in the deep pool. I can't even count how many times he went down this slide. It was a constant the last day: up the stairs and down the slide, all by himself, over and over!
Daddy splashing all the kids

I missed a picture of Great Grandma and Papa. We really should have taken a group picture but we were having too much fun to stop playing. We played in the water all day and then would go up to the rooms and play games until after midnight when we'd all give in and head to bed. Everyone had a blast and as soon as we got home, were all asking when we could do it again!
