Last day at the water park

Good bye Water Park. We all had major accomplishments this year.

Mom wore her hat all summer, so not to encourage skin cancer or more freckles.



Dad came to the park 3 times. He got his money's worth out of his season pass.

Carson wasn't afraid of the big kid slides. He was a pro by the end of the summer.

Cooper didn't run away from mom this year. He also conquered the Mushroom. Way to go family.

This is the proof of conquering the mushroom.

Where did he learn this.

This must be another inheritated trait. He has never seen Scott or myself do this, where in the world did he learn this?

It must be from my brothers. All of my childhood they would drink like this, even from the gallons of milk. This must be a Craig inherited trait. He wasn't even embarrased when he got caught. Oh Brother!!!

Old Man

Who would have ever though I would be married to such an old man. Happy Birthday Babe. 32 and still kicking.

Vance Trance

My hubby goes into a "zone" or "trance" when he watches a show he is interested in. Football games, action movies, ect. I thought this was a learned behavior but this picture below proves other wise. It is a genetic characteristic of all the Vances. Cousins from three families all have the same "trance". Funny huh.


This is the rest of the gang. It had been almost four years since we were all together. I would expound on our trip but, "What happens in Idaho stays in Idaho". :)

Airport Excitement

The boys were very excited about their time in the airport. Besides the actual time in the airplane, the airport was very entertaining.

Plane craziness

This is the boys first plane ride. We went to Idaho. They were a little excited. Me being the genius I am brought along their toy planes to imatate all the real planes. The boys couldn't have been happier.

Then during the flight the newness wore off and we were left entertain them. Notice Scott's and my smile are a little forced. We were pooped. He is a video of the craziness that lasted all day. I do not think we will fly again as a family for a long time.
