Boys Are Nothing But Trouble!!!

Why does it always seem like boys bring along a whole bunch of trouble anywhere they go?!??!!  I was having a nice tea/pool party with some girlfriends where "The Wild Boys" found out about it and decided to come over to crash the party.  That was just when the trouble all started ...

Avery playing a nice game with Sophie and Lilly ...

... then here comes Noah and Mathew sneaking 

into the party from the back fence ...

... where Noah started "showing off" 

and took a hard tumble down the rocks!!!

Then Noah wanting to still prove that he was the best

rock climber at the party started scaling the back rock wall

(the real one, not my play one!) where his Daddy had 

some "strong" words of wisdom for him!!!

Even Will (the oldest of "The Wild Boys") wouldn't 

play basketball nicely with me ... I never even got 

to touch the ball once during our game ... he won 100 - 0!!!

Finally my best buddy Mathew demanded 

I pull him all around the yard in MY wagon!!!

But after Mathew saw how upset this 

was all making me, he decided to be nice and 

pull me around for a little while!!!

Avery The Impressionist ...

This is my impression of what Mommy and Daddy usually sound like when they are explaining why I can't have something I really really want ... such as jellybeans!

Judge Avery ...

Mommy asked me if I would give her some pointers and judge her like she's in a riding competition. I hope she can handle it ...

(right before judging begins)

Good hands,  Mommy!  And very good sitting, 

err, I mean riding ...

"Mommy's riding was a 'slam dunk'
(that means really good)!"

Avery's nightly PJ routine ...

Monday night ....

... Tuesday night ...

... and so on ...

Avery's Big Summer Adventure: Part 3, Play on Beach, Play in Sea, Relax, and then Repeat

So to finish off such a great long vacation, we all went to the beach for a few days.  Below are some videos and pictures of all the fun we had ...

Here's a video of me digging in the sand like a dog, where someone keeps pushing me over ...

And here's another video of me getting covered in sand ...
