Best Week Ever!!

What a great week the Madsen kids had. I had to work on Friday - Monday so Dad and the kids were busy.

Saturday Dad and the kids went to Lowe's and they built boats. They got aprons, patches to sew on their aprons and cool safety goggles.

After Lowe's Dad took them to the Cedar Rapids Kernals game. Jacob loves his baseball.

On Sunday the kids went fishing and had donuts

Jacob got to drive the car in the garage one of his favorite pasttimes.

I took the kids out for some shopping and when we got back. Josh had filled the entire cooler with water balloons. It was awesome but definatly short lived, the entire cooler was gone in about 5 minutes

On Monday was Olivia's last day of school at UIHC CCC. It was kind of a sad day for me she was there for 5 years. The kids in her class made her a nice good-bye sign.

On Tuesday, Olivia and Jacob and I took our bikes down to her new school for a picnic lunch.

The big cap of the week was a trip to Adventureland. Our plan was to take just Olivia for the day but she would not have it, she wanted her Jacob to come. We asked Grandma Diane to come so that she could help with Jacob. We had a great time. We rode lots of rides. Jacob and Olivia both loved the log ride.

Grandma and Josh rode the space shot

Olivia and Jacob rode the "frog hopper". Jacob did NOT like it.

Jacob and Olivia rode the Lady bugs together. Jacob did not get off until three rides later!

After the Lady bugs we took Jacob on the Galleon (this is a large boat that swings back and forth) this was the breaking point for my little daredevil Jacob, he cried the whole time. The next morning I went in to wake him up and the first thing out of his mouth before his eyes were open was "I cry on the pirate ship mommy".......poor kid

Olivia and I went on the Outlaw roller coaster. "That was the worst part of my day mom"....Wow zero for two.

What a busy week. Now its time to settle in and get ready for school on Thursday.
