CAMP!

Finally, finally, finally...it's time for a week at Uncle Dave's camp! Last night of work tonight, and then vacation! See you all when we get back! Here's a little video to get you through the week...

Bay Beach Adventure

We spent the evening picnicking and riding every ride at Bay Beach tonight!
Grandpa Ron and Grandma Meg met us there and the boys talked them into joining them on quite a few rides!
I'm grateful Liam was too impatient to wait in the long line for the ferris wheel...yes, I get motion sickness from children's ferris wheels.

Liam was obsessed with the airplane ride. What can I say, the kid loves airplanes...and guns!

Grandpa and Maxwell were buddies for the day!

Max was adorable riding the ladybugs. He squealed and laughed every time!
And Liam was a good sport and went on quite a few kiddie rides with his brother!

Grandpa Howie, can we drive your boat now?!

Liam proclaimed these swings were "boring" compared to the swings for the big kids!

Liam talked me into taking him on the big slide. Once.
It was fun, but let's just say I'm glad he's almost tall enough to go on it himself!

And so is Grandma Meg!

Max and I waited in line for quite awhile before finally getting on the train ride.

But it was worth it!

Buddies

Such a fun night! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

School Days...

Liam will start 4K in a little over a month!
He's very excited to go to school again, but a little nervous about being somewhere new.
He will go to the public elementary school just up the road from our house. He may even take the bus...we'll see. Mom is not very willing to let go of her little boy just yet!

Zoo Time

This was entirely Max's idea.

Sun & Sand

We took the boys to Neshotah Beach today.

They dug in the sand,

Jumped in the waves,

And splashed to their hearts' content.

We were out of the water,

In the water,

And in the sand all morning long.

Aaron used to spend summer days here with his family.

I think we've got our own summer tradition started!

The Fourth

We spent the 4th of July up north with my family. The weather was perfect, so we spent a lot of time outside playing, fishing, swimming and going to the parade in Iron Mountain. The boys played hard and slept like rocks at night! We had a great time!
