Kite Flying at Marina Barrage

On weekends, people flock to Marina Barrage to fly kites (it's right by one of their Reservoir, you have to take an elevator or stairs to get up here). Its usually pretty windy. 


This was the Mechum's Farewell party. We sure miss them! We should be able see them when we head back to Boise.




Suzy and some friendlies.

Here's Bryan in his Boise State gear. 

The view from here is amazing.

You can see the Singapore Flyer as well.


SG50 Airshow

I don't know how well you can see it, but this was a 4 plan formation, they did up to 6 planes going behind the Marina Bay Sands buildings

We were across the bay at the Esplanade Mall.  

This was one of the other activities: Human Bowling, Human Foosball and a few bouncy things. This was by far the least number of people I've ever seen in Singapore at one time.  Unless I was at home, or it was 6:00 in the morning. After this, we decided to go to the BK that was pretty close then go to some more stuff. The BK had probably 400 times more people in it, took about an hour and 15 minutes to get our food and eat. So then we just went home. We were with the Garners and Hawkins. 


The Merlion is Alive, Alive I tell you!



This was part of the SG50 celabration (Singapore turning 50 as a country). They had some awesome light shows on the Sentosa Merlion. 

 A lego Merlion? What! 







Random Rodeos and other pictures

Rodeo Excitement. Ever since the girls saw some Rodeo queens signing autographs in the mall, they've been enamored with Rodeos. 
This was the Snake River Stamped, and was the 100th anniversary (started in 1915)

Jace loved sitting with Papa Mustache 

Suzy wore her cute cowgirl shirt. You can tell cause it has something like plaid on it. 

Kate. In a tree. 

Work BBQ at a park in Meridian. 

Arrggghhh

Some fun pictures of Brighton making her faces

Seriously

Okay, possibly

Yeah, right

mmmmmmmm


Faith got a hold of the Camera, in fact, she was the photographer for Brighton

Who doesn't like a nice picture of a hairy ear?

Selfie!

I like to call this look Purple Iron - you have to scroll super fast.


First the hair styling begins. 

Super fun. 

sorry, but beauty hurts, It's all worth it in the end. Kate "toughen up, it's not that bad, you're just exaggerating" (as she comes out with handfuls of hair).














grrr....

CastleRock Fun - Garden of the Gods (not the Galaxy however)

We went to Garden of the Gods (south of Castle Rock I believe). it was fun, the kids had a blast, of course so did I (who wouldn't have fun with rocks and dirt etc). 

Mom had a walking boot. From the time when she had hiked Castlerock with her Montessori class and  30 Ninja's attacked and she had to hold them off until the children were safe.  She got her foot stuck in one of them and ended up twisting her ankle as she did back handsprings down the mountain after everyone else had gotten away. If only she'd had time to shake that ninja off her foot first. 

Little missus sassypants. 

we're all happy and cute, except one, who is only cute. 

I had three pictures like this, then three like the one just below this. 

Just like superman and Clark Kent could never be in the same room at the same time, nor can Brighton's and Suzy's smiles. 

More evidence...

These two little munchkins had more fun together than any two people have a right to. I'm talking about the two boys in the front, not the guy in green and lady in purple. 

Brighton is just a happy, nice child. All the time. 

Luckily for those sitting above, the boys were willing to hold up the rocks. 

Poor Jace was getting tired when Tate and Elliot got bored holding up the girls. 

The Sibs. 

Have you ever had a worse hand? I had to take a picture as proof. 

Marsh was great with the kids, as always. here's Jace, Red eyed, tired.
