Safety Check

The summer is going by much to fast but Tracy and Kyle got to take a couple days off from it all and sit around the house... Kyle spent the last part of the weekend and the first part of this week fighting another virus... he is doing great now, but struggled with a high temp and sore legs. It was strange, he would complain of his legs hurting when he first woke up, but after a hour or so, he was running around as fast as ever. The sore legs went away with the fever and all are healthy at the Surratt household! During all of this, Kyle discovered the movie "Cars" and now asks 3000 times a day to watch, "race cars on TV"!

On Friday, we spent the morning with Cerys and then off to playgroup at Duffy & Kates house. The kids had a blast - in fact they had so much fun, they both napped! Which was great b/c after naps we went to the inflatable palace for some jumping birthday fun for Ruthie and Madeline! To top off the night, Bebe came over to hang with the kids while Eric, Tracy, and Darcy went to see the Wailers - fun night for everyone!

Saturday was just as much fun beginning with a family pool outing and then over to the O'Sullivans for dinner. Enjoy the pix!

Cerys, Kyle, Riley, Kaitlyn, and Caleb watching... you guessed it, CARS!

Some of us found the accidental placement of the empties amusing:-)

Crazy face! She had soooo much fun at the Inflatable Palace and wants to have her birthday party there as well.

Josh, Kyle, and Riley - these three had to have gone down the slide together 20 times!

Up, Up, Up he goes!

Helping Hands

Such a fun week again! Aside from Riley getting her "very first splinter" tonight, the week has been great! First, we got an unexpected visit from Papa as he set off for his first disaster with FEMA! But when we left off last week, we were in the middle of "kids give back" week with our church.... Riley had a blast all week at VBS and playing with Caroline in the morning and going back to school with Cerys in the afternoon. Tracy is very thankful to her wonderful friends for helping ship Ri around for the three days Tracy was at work - Ri would have missed out on a lot of fun without all of them!! On friday Tracy, Kyle, and Riley joined the entire "kids give back group" at Ashland Convalescent Home to deliver their wonderful hand print paintings and sing songs. After visiting, which all the kids really enjoyed, we had a fun picnic at a playground near by.

The day wasn't over...after naps we went to the Childrens Museum with the Bests! On Saturday the kids hit the pool with Eric and then Riley, Tracy, Darcy, and Lexa spent the afternoon at Kings Dominion riding the "big rides"! The girls LOVE the Flying Eagle and the ScoobyDoo! That night Darcy and Lexa spent the night and hung out with our kids while we went to the neighborhood adult pool party!

We also visited Eric at work and had lunch with him and swung by Tracy's office to say Hi too! Loads of fun, but not many pix...
