The New School Year

We run a year-round education system around these parts and after two months off, it was time to start up again.  Now  to begin the fourth year of tormenting Minions with knowledge.
Well the older three have real studies to worry about, the younger ones need to be included too.

Family walk time.


Looking cool after our Eis.

There is actually a house inside those trees...really, there is.

A liter of Sparkling Elderberry juice...so refreshing. Mmmm Prost!

Saying farewell to a friend with gigantic portions of food...the XXXL Burger is huge!

Some summertime strawberry eating and we're ready for the next month to begin.

Grins Hits Level 7, Chubbly is now Level 5.

Well to start the month Epic got himself all spiffied up in preparation for the upcoming celebrations...and the upcoming heat.

See?  Much better now. 

Alright, first thing you need to know is that we misplaced our battery charger to the camera after getting home from the UK.  So there are major gaps in activities while we searched for it.  Many images are still stuck on various mobile devices as well.  Anywho, onward to the first leveling up party.  Even though he doesn't level up first, Chubbly agreed to share his party with another little one who had just migrated to our area.  So he got to have his Pirate Pony Party first.

Princess Lumpy wanted to make sure we all knew she was still Level 3.  Okay, duly noted girly.

Let the party begin!

After playground, it's pinata time.

Down with the Unicorn!

The two leveling up Minions attacked first before it was slaughtered by the eldest two.

Mourning the loss of the innocent magical beast.

It's head was kept as a trophy to be mounted at home.  Much fun was had by all.

Well Father's Day came around and what did the Party Leader spend his day doing?

Car repairs and furniture construction.  His choice.

Consuming homemade pineapple coconut banana Popsicles.

Random free bowling night with friends.

Skoshi may or may not have affected Hickory's score a bit.

Note the tiny leg and hands on Hickory's left side.  Skosh was bowling.

Alright. Now onto Grins' leveling up to level...

His dinner of choice for his big day?  Watermelon cake and Ramen with eggs.
His party was the following weekend and Minecraft themed.

Getting back at his arch-nemesis.

He was excited to set the Enderman's head on fire and then get to eat this beheaded version.



The eating of cake and such was followed by a water balloon fight.

We would have taken more pictures...but between not wanting to get the camera wet and the fact the battery died.  This will have to suffice.

Now to try and locate the other pictures from this month as well as getting next month's pictures up.

Love you all. Hummingbyrd.
