Water World and Sunny Patch

Today the three McCutcheon cousins created their own water park. It began with a watering can on the play structure slide and a sprinkler at the bottom, but it just kept expanding from there. They decided they should sell tickets, first for leaves, then for real money. There was even a little ticket booth for Dana to sell tickets from with prices posted in chalk. Daddy set up the slip n slide and the girls moved the inflated raft into the field and filled it with water. They swung on the rope through the sprinkler and ran through the big sprinkler in the field. There was an obstacle course around the field on the dirt path and lots of water all around. At one point, they were running across the sprinkler to the "water world" or "water works" and back to the "sunny patch." They also spent some time in the pool of course, but the water park was the main attraction.

Fun with Cousins

The fun continues as the three McCutcheon girls do lots of things together at Camp Chico. Olivia had to go off to gymnastics class with Daddy on the bike attachment, leaving Cora and Dana to pick zuchini and do fairy research. Then we all met up in downtown Chico for frozen yogurt at Jon & Bon's, yum. There was lots of bicycle riding in the yard and playing with the chickens later. The three girls hold their three chickens: Cora & Love-a-lot, Dana & Blackberry, and Olivia & Rosie (Jetti is running around somewhere and Mister Joey has a new home at Chris' Egg Farm in Corning). Of course there was running, chasing, and swimming to do -- the day just wouldn't be complete without those activities!

CAMP CHICO

Camp Chico has three delightful campers this year, Cora, Dana, and Olivia. The girls are making sure to giggle a lot (that's a requirement at their ages) and play, play, play! Fortunately for our Berkeley cousin, the weather is cooperating and not getting oppressively hot. Today's activities consisted of showers (not all that common around this time of year at our house), list making, making faces, a quick shopping trip, smoothies from Jamba Juice, juggling lessons, marble playing, bike riding, feeding and chasing chickens, pretending to be bunnies, reading stories, and drawing pictures. I'm sure there is probably something that I have left out. There was actually no swimming today, rather surprising for a Chico summer, but the girls were just having too much fun and apparently didn't get too hot!

Cousin Fun!

For the fourth of July Uncle Marty, Aunt Ingrid, and Cousin Dana came over for a visit! Cora and Olivia had a blast playing with their cousin Dana! We had so much fun in our yard that we didn't even leave to go see fireworks. Of course the really exciting thing about this visit is that Dana gets to stay for the week, a fun filled cousin week at our very own Camp Chico! There was a lot of swimming, bike riding, playing instruments, and playing around to start off the week to come. Dana started the week off well by losing her first tooth!

Thanksgiving in Roseville

The family all got together in Roseville at Grandma Sandy & Grandpa Tim's house. The newly arrived residents from Indiana made it in time for the celebration, Aunt Nettie, Uncle Roy, Sharon, & Brad (and Bridget, their boxer). There were several dogs in attendance actually, and Olivia just loves Sean's new puppy, Duke, he's the fluffy one. It was really great to see everybody and we all ate a lot of delicious food!

Decorating a Cake with Aunt Barbara

For my 40th birthday Lance, Barbara, and Judith came up to Chico to celebrate with us. Barbara made a truly scrumptious 10 layer chocolate mint cake and she brought supplies for the girls to help her decorate it. They made chocolate butterflies out of colored white chocolate and melted chocolate, it was a very fun process! The girls even wore their matching butterfly aprons that Aunt Barbara had made for them. Judith didn't get any cake, but she enjoyed watching the ceiling fans with Uncle Lance! And I had a terrific birthday!

Halloween

Much fun was had by all, there was a parade at school, carving pumpkins in the afternoon after school, then trick or treating in the evening with friends. Cora was dressed as Cleopatra and Olivia was SuperGirl!
