Enjoying summer while it lasts!

We went out to the park the other day to play with the kids.  Bruce and Alani had gotten these remote control helicopters for Christmas from their Uncle Alani.  These two boys have been so spoiled from both sides of the family considering that they were the first two grandchildren on my husbands side.  Anyways, due to winter weather we never flew them after receiving them.  They were put in the garage which is a point of no return, and luckily we found them before the nice summer weather comes to a halt.  Okay so these remote toys were pretty pricey, which we as parents know that with kids at the age of 4 and 6, toys don't ever last!  So of course, we were excited that we didn't have to pay the pretty penny for these toys and were probably just as excited to fly it with the boys.  We get out to the park, let the boys fly it for the first time and then within 30 seconds the chopper comes flying down hitting the ground and breaking into little pieces!  UHHHHH....both Dan and I sighed.  Fortunately we had another chopper and this time we thought we adults better fly it because we probably control it better than our boys, YEAH RIGHT....within seconds the 2nd chopper came down hitting the ground and breaking.  What a disappointment to have these amazing toys and then watch them break within seconds! Oh well, what matters is that we were able to hang out with the kiddies for the day, enjoying the last few days of summer and nature.  After the choppers busted we ended up playing some field games with the kids and then called it a day.  Love hanging out as a family and spending quality time with eachother!
