Fear not, no fire fighter is in danger of loosing their job to this 'civilian' (as they affectionately call me.) I am attending the CJCFPD Citizens Fire Academy this summer. Last year, I graduated from the Citizens Police Academy. I am so fortunate to work with police and fire professionals every day and I love learning more about how they serve our community.
This is the inaugural CJCFPD Citizens Fire Academy class. So far, this class has been so much fun and we are learning what it takes to be a fire fighter.
Unfortunately, someone is quite a climber. He can climb in and out of this chair all by himself.
This is my garden annex - note the sand pails. I ran out of pots and the kids never really use the pails anyway. These are the extra tomato plants and the plants that the bunnies & squirrels like to eat/tear up. I have had better success growing these on the deck rather than the garden area. I ran out of room in the garden and this is a good solution to both problems. We kinda went crazy with the seedlings (Niko did a good job planting/caring for them) and I wanted him to see his hard work come to fruition.
Look how big those tomato plants are!
I bought some new tomato supports that are color coated to what type of plants they are. The purple hoops are Cherokee Purple, the red hoops are cherry tomato, the steel one is a grape tomato and the yellow are Red Beefsteak.
This is our second home during the summer. Niko begs us to go to the park anytime it is nice.
By far, this is Ryker's favorite part of Penguin Park... the water fountain.
Ryker is scary good at climbing the monkey bars....
Dino rider.
Swing time with Daddy.
Likes the bouncy horse.
More swing time.
This is probably a bad idea, but I don't care. He loves it up on the counter and I can keep an eye on him while I am cooking.
OMG!! Is that......
DJ LANCE ROCK?!??!?!?
Whew.... getting hot in here.
Woah! Muno!
Niko & Ryker's Garden is ready to go. (Actually, I took this photo on Friday and these plants have almost doubled in size now!)
Tent and hammock ready to go!
Niko is stoked to sleep in the tent. He did a great job! We both slept in the tent all night... until about 6 a.m. when the rain started and woke us up.
In and out of the tent all night long.
Someone had a rough time getting in and out of the tent.
Yes, that is a dinner of hot dogs and marshmallows. Don't judge....
A rare shot of Daddy 'cooking.'
Godfather Mark took a few 'candid' photos from the camp trip....
More marshmallows...
