Luke's Wa Wa Park Party

The hotel we were at for Jenny's wedding had a waterpark so Sunday morning Luke and his uncles and "aunt" and cousins got to play around for a couple of hours.

Luke loved floating in the lazy river with Scott. He especially liked the whirlpool in the middle.


And all Maddie wanted was to relax in the kids' hot tub with her dad.


Then we all decesended on Grandma and Grandpa Bickel's house. The grandkids and great grands headed straight for the channel.

Uncle Kurt helped Luke try to catch some fish.


Aunts and Uncles, Nieces and Nephews, everyone loves being by the channel.
Luke got to celebrate his birthday with all kinds of family around. So we ate some pizza and then opened presents.

This is the next book in Luke's collection of Narina. He loves hearing the lion books and now he'll get to watch the second movie!


"Thank You"


Aunt Kendra outdid herself and got Luke the ultimate gift...a storm trooper helmet.

It went well with his Star Wars cake. (complete with star candles...thank you Grandma!)

There's Luke Trooper

And Daddy Trooper

And Brother Trooper

And even Grandpa Trooper (doesn't his mom look proud!)

The boys headed for the front yard to play some wiffle ball. Even Great Grandpa got a few swings in. Apparently this shot was just before Grandpa hit a line drive at Chad's head. Go Grandpa!


The playing field.


And Ben and Luke on defense (which is a new word in his vocab, thanks to coaches/uncles!)


One of the coolest things about the evening was Luke got to celebrate a birthday with 3 of his great grandparents (and an adopted Great Grandma!). It's a lot of fun to watch these generations interact with each other.


And my personal favorite....
Great Grandpa Trooper!
