Nolan isn't a fan of reading. We have to bribe, I mean, REWARD him with a prize. So I made him a chart to read 100 books over the summer. Here he is with some of his favorites:
Go, Bus, Fat Cat, Hot Dog, Ant Jobs, Hop on Pop....
So his prize was to go on the ALPINE SLIDE on Mt. Hood. (Near Portland) He finished the last book and the whole family jumped on the bed clapping, giving high fives, making a big fuss... so he would know that we are super happy. Now, we didn't get a picture of the Alpine Slide this time- (I posted pictures of the slide in this blog last year)- but we did these fun things too:
Tatum on the canoe ride
Nolan climbed to the top of the rock wall- loved it!
Unfortunaltey, at 50 lbs, he didn't weigh enough for the rope to bring him back down, so the worker had to pull him down. We kept yelling, "Nolan, just let go and the rope will bring you down!" We figured he was scared to come down. But then we saw both his arms out and he was just stuck up there. It was high too!
Even Danny got to climb the wall- and make it to the top too.
Oh Gees- Nolan thought it was GREAT to pretend to be a hampster running in a ball.
Pony rides! Nolan rode
Rain, Tatum rode Dottie and Carly rode George. They loved the horses. Oh they want a pony now. And really, they seemed very natural on the horses.
Kiddie Karts. They were super slow, but I think they were happy that they could drive it by themselves.
Good boy Nolan! Thanks for reading 100 books. Now lets get ready for 2nd grade!

That looks like so much fun. Where is that exactly? My kids would love that!
