I'm exhausted!

Last weekend was non stop entertainment all day, every day! Rusty and Collette came to town and we spent some quality time together. Here are some of the highlights.

Collette and Rusty made a special effort to attend Hank's first soccer game, even though they had a wedding to attend just moments after. He loved it!

Assistant coach Randy helped him with his skills before game time.

Hank scored the first goal about 30 seconds into the game!

His coach was pretty impressed with Hank after he scored his second goal.
(His coach is wearing shin guards in case you were wondering! He's pretty intense.)

Go Strikers!

Hank had his own personal cheering squad with Rusty, Collette, Grandpa Griff, Grandma Jackie and Sarah. Thank you guys for coming. It really meant a lot to Hank. Not to worry if you missed out on the action, he has 6 more games this season.

Mino can't wait for his turn in the spotlight. Until then, he'll just look adorable.

We had a delicious BBQ at Jeri and Scott's house as well as many other nights of good food and great conversation. Let's just say we all know a little bit more about Randy after a long night at the Griffin residence!

Oldest siblings vs. Youngest Siblings

I want to say the youngsters kicked their butts but I could be wrong.

After our plans to hike to Timp Cave were canceled due to the weather, we took the kids to the Children's Museum and the planetarium. Rusty was one proud uncle when Hank declared he wanted to be a scientist when he grows up.
(I realize he looks like he wants to be a cowboy in this picture!)


Max really enjoyed pumping his own gas, definitely a highlight.

Please disregard me in this photo...note to self, 3D glasses aren't a good look but I will sacrifice my vanity to document our trip to the Imax theater to see "Hubble 3D". As the opening credits began to roll, and a giant 3D IMAX came on the screen, Max yelled "Hey that says MAX!"
The movie was excellent, definitely mind blowing for my little brain.

No outing would be complete without a lunch experience with a tired Max-man. After all that, Hank still wanted to hang out with Rusty and Collette so they made the trek to watch his TaeKwonDo class. He was beyond thrilled to have an audience. They really made an effort to spend a lot of time with their nephews. We had such a fun weekend, I really wish they lived closer. Come back soon!

As if we weren't partying hard enough with the Griffin clan, we still managed to have a raging birthday party for Brett. So what if it was pouring rain and 55 degrees, I say bring out the water slide.

We enjoyed the show under the umbrella, awww mom, why are you so freaking adorable?

Max assured me he wasn't cold.

Hank said he would never stop sliding.

And Isabel, well, there are no words!

Jack and Max warmed up in the tub while Sarah...

slid like there was no tomorrow! You go sis!

I couldn't resist posting this picture...I'm in awe.
The good times keep on coming! We are planning one final adventure before summer is officially over...stay tuned!
