Great Friends & Fun!

We have some really great friends who are always a blast to be around. Brian, Courtenay and their boys Cainan, Simon & Abe live in the country and every time we are out there it is a different adventure and pure fun! My kids absolutely love it and continually ask when we are going to Brian & Courtenay's. Us adults have just as much fun. Court loves to take pictures just as much as I do. So while she & I are taking photos, the kids and big boys (Nate & Brian) are playing and getting themselves into trouble.



Simon and Jasper

Abe & Simon on their awesome go cart!




Cainan


Simon is such a gentleman. Here he is helping Isabel with her seat belt.






Jasper








Jasper & Abe (Abe looks a little freaked out) Nate & Cainan







Jasper & Simon






Jonah & Simon


I love this series of shots. The looks on both Nate & Simon's face are hilarious!









Ready! Aim! Fire! The Pierce family own 3 of these "soft" pellet guns. I would hardly call them soft. It was so fun to watch the boys shoot at each other and get hit. Is that bad to say?


This is Cainan as he got hit in the neck.








My engineer...checking out how those wheels work












Brian

Cainan hiding out






You''ll shoot your eye out! Check out the ding on Nate's forehead! It swelled up & bruised & I think he still has a mark from it. After this, he was out of the game.
Isabel hit her hand right as I took this pic


Brian and Abe



Isabel is pretty smitten with Brian




As the sun sat, we could hear roaring laughter from Nate who was somewhere in the woods with Simon. It echoed all over the country & we all were dying laughing wondering what was so funny. Seems they hit a giant mud puddle as they were flying on the go cart.


I'm not sure poor Simon will want to ride with Nate again.



Nate had to strip his pants off before we went home. So there he stood...in his boxers & t-shirt.

They have an old VW Bug that is awesome and I'm jealous. Isabel loved sitting in the driver's seat. And Jasper was laying the kisses on her.

cute pictures! The go cart looks so fun. And about the guns? My boys have several play guns ( other moms might cringe at that) but I'm fine with that kind of rough boy play. We have many shoot outs around the house as they pretend to be good guy/bad guy. I grew up playing cowboy and indian and turned out ok...I think. lol

You're so funny! That go cart was a blast! Those guns cracked me up because the "soft" pellets didn't seem so soft when you could see all the boys' welts. I loved just listening to them scream when they got hit. ;)
