Goodbye Black Butte

Snappy Stories is a diary of our experiences and we know that 22 entries about a vacation are more than almost anyone (except MJ) will want to read so if you want Elizabeth's short movie version click here.



Burning Before Drive Energy

One last playground time before hitting the long drive home.










Moon Walk

In honor of Neil Armstrong - a last night special treat a walk way past C's bedtime - dance by the light of the moon.


 Is this moon madness?

Looking back to what C called "our Back Boot house"
 Good night Neil Armstrong, it was one giant step.

Glow Worms

We did not really know how to capture it on film, but believe me glow sticks in the bathtub were a BIG hit.






 When the lights came on, even K loved them.
 And Papa continued to play with them outside.

Sharing

G you definitely share a love for icecream from your mama, your papa and your JoJo.


 Aunt Emily shares it too!

Lessons Learned

Papa has lots of lessons to teach.  One is just to sit and watch.
And if you want something else to do, 
you can always learn how to cast.






Black Butte Games

Saturday, August 25
There were all sorts of games - swim races, pickle ball, horseshoes, bocce ball, golf, water ballon fights, boggle, puzzles, uno.  We even started with a Black Butte games mascot for entertainment - those daddies know how to entertain.
Don't worry Keagan - they aren't always this crazy and you didn't have to compete yet.
 Boys getting big enough to ride scooters means scooter races will not be far behind.

 It's ok D - we know that M is not the only athlete in the family.


 Sometimes a player was handicapped by the monkey on his back.


 We had a pretty good pit crew.


 Who sometimes made a mess.
