Summer Fun!!!

Ugh...cavity #2. Why is he smiling??


We have had so much fun this summer and sad to see it going by so fast. Finley is busy keeping up with Drake. She started walking last month and now I have a hard time getting anything accomplished. She's been babbling a lot more and saying some basic words. (Ma, Dada,) Her hair is starting to really come in and am having fun trying to tame it in these hot summer months.

Drake has been so busy this summer with baseball, swimming lessons, classes at the library, etc. He's getting anxious for kindergarten and got to pick out his first backpack/lunch box. Drake will not be going to my elementary, so am feeling a little sad about that. I know once we get in the swing of the school year everyone will be adjusted...including mom.

We went up to my parent's cabin at Lake Vermilion (MN). Daddy even joined us for a couple days. The weather wasn't the best but we love to be up there rain or shine. We look forward going back up there the end of July. This time hoping for blue skies....momma needs a tan. =) Here's some photos of our crazy summer so far.

Pickle???



Drake at Waukee's Safety City. This is a week long class for kids entering kindergarten. They touched on everything safety.This was his high school buddy Mac who he met with everyday. He loved it.



I took Drake and his buddy Dillon to the zoo.

Who doesn't love dinner outdoors? Mom does...especially on spaghetti night.





We went to see Dan Wardell from IPTV PBS Kids read at the library. Drake loved it!

The pool has been our second home this summer.

The kids meeting their new second cousin....Kaleb.



Fin enjoying her first Popsicle.

We took a short vacation to Adventureland and stayed at the Adventureland Inn. Drake was more into the rides this year. Finley....not so much.






Somehow we got Drake on the Tornado. We sat in the very first car and his eyes were the size of softballs the whole ride. For some reason he didn't want to try it again.

Soaking up the sun at the cabin.
Having fun playing with the water table on the pontoon.
