HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY MATT!

Soak City

The two older boys went to Cedar point with the
youth group from CWC but mom was still hobbling along due to her recovery from surgery. We wanted to get out of the heat since it has been above 90 degrees for a week so we hit Soak City, the water park next door to cedar point. Mom taped up her leg real good since the stitches were still healing and off we went.




Daddy enjoying the lazy river...

















Noah a bit taken back that the buckets
did not drop any water on him as he passed
under.....





























Micah and Noah at the wave pool.......












Jason does not ride roller coasters so in the
afternoon he wandered into the water park,
we found him, or I should say he found us.





















Micah standing under the big bucket in the splash Zone,
he loved it!
















Noah enjoying a nice cold drink on a hot afternoon.

Washington, D.C.

Zach sitting in front of the Potomac river.

















A view of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial.















The Cherry Blossom trees are in full bloom.















Since we have lived in Michigan there are 2 new
memorials. This one is the WWII memorial.

It is absolutely astounding.
















The boys in front of the white House.
The President was home today.
(notice the flag on the top of the house is at full mast)
When the flag is up the president is home,
when it is down he is away from home.















Micahs first visit to the Vietnam Memorial.
After being told what this memorial was for
he responded y saying,
"they must have been pretty special."

Made me teary eyed........




















after climbing the stairs and fighting
the crowds we made it to the Lincoln Memorial.
