The boys were so excited to do Fishing Kids this year. Every year on the day before Father's Day, the city takes thousands of fish from the hatcheries and dumps them into a netted-off area out at Cascade Park. They give each of the kids a brand new fishing pole and t-shirt and allow them to catch 2 fish a piece. They have such a good time! The weather was beautiful. (of course I had to work...) They had a great pre-father's day with Mike and his dad.
This past Friday we had a brief moment of weakness and told the kids we could go to the circus. Please make a note: Try to avoid coming in contact with any circus advertisements when your school-aged children who know how to read are within an eyeshot. This is not a fun place for grown-ups to go. You know all of the little "free coupons" that you see all over the town, at grocery stores, restaurants, etc.? If you plan to go to see Circus Gatti, make sure you grab enough of those free tickets for you and each of your kids. If not, you will be spending a small fortune just to walk through the gates. $22.00 for each adult, $17 for each child between 5-12, and $12 for children under 5. If you have any money left after you walk through the gate, a bottled water will cost $3, popcorn $4, snocone $4, and cotton candy $8. I am not kidding. For a very mediocre performance, a family can easily spend over $100 for 2 hours in the 90 degree heat on metal bleachers. What fun.
Saturday, Mike and I drove to Puyallup for Jason Green's wedding. Yes, you are reading this correctly. Jason Green. Married. That just leaves Caleb -- all of the other soccer boys have crossed the threshold. Anyways, it was a nice ceremony at a beautiful golf course in Orting. The weather was perfect, and they both looked great. It was fun to see all the high school soccer buddies and their wives and kids. Sam and Hilary Lester have a couple of girls and another girl on the way, Tony & Nicole Preston just had their 2nd girl, and Jason's little brother Tyler and his wife Jamie have one little girl. See a pattern here? Maybe someday I'll know what that's like... For now my three men keep me plenty busy.

Man, it was great to see all those guys at the wedding...it's been forever. Your kids were adorable fishing....I can't convince Scott that my 3 1/2 year old is old enough to go fishing....I think my 2 1/2 year old is old enough...I guess I'll just have to take them myself!!!
