The many adventures of the Harker boys

Once upon a time, there were three boys with the same last name who kept their mom very busy. One of them, the oldest, was much involved in the cub scouting program. Although his mom frequently forgot weekly den meetings, and his dad put off making the boat until the night before, he was still able to participate in the annual "Rain Gutter Regatta." He chose a pirate theme for his ship which meant his mom drove frantically to several scrapbook stores looking for the right size stickers. But luckily, he was happy with the results.

Unfortunately, his boat did not perform so well and fell over with every puff of breath this Harker child could give. It got a little frustrating, but in the end, a good time was had by all.

Meanwhile, the two middle Harker boys were having adventures of their own. Alas the time had come for a birthday celebration for the one turning seven. A party in the canyon was planned on the 6th day of September including breakfast and fun for all the family.

It was a splendid event full of exploring, food, family and fun for all.

The gifts were plenty and just what this Harker boy was hopping for. All was going well until his younger brother thought it was time to mix things up....

So he caused a great commotion by falling backwards into the fire. With lightning quick speed, his father dashed over and pulled him to safety, ripping his pants and underwear in the process. In the meantime, there was much screaming with panic and swearing by other members of the party. By some miracle, the only injuries sustained were on the fingers of the left hand. After a quick trip to Insta Care later that afternoon, this little Harker was bandaged, drugged, and doing much better.

But the adventures were not over yet for this one. The next morning he began his long school career by attending his first day at Jacque's Preschool. He was all smiles and couldn't wait to be like his big brothers.

Even better was the fact that he would have the same teachers that loved and guided his older brother. Mrs. Chris and Mrs. Carol, two of the best preschool teachers on the planet.

Max had not yet had his fill of birthday fun though. He woke up bright and early on his birthday morning to find some presents left by his loving parents.

And was treated to some birthday pancakes before heading out the door to another adventure in first grade.

The entire Harker family wanted to celebrate with Max, so off they went for a bowling adventure at Fat Cats. The competition was fierce, yet somehow Mom managed to rise to the top. (at least for the first game)

More food was consumed.

The birthday boy was happy.

And thus ends another exciting adventure in the ongoing Harker series. Join us next time for more chills and spills as this drama unfolds.
