Up a Tree

A little photo shoot for Grandma Jackie's birthday.

More BC fun

With a hot dog that size, you have to eat it that way!

Fence sitters.

I'm pretty sure Cooper is telling Ben how to do it. "That way."

Good times.

OK! So this Brown County post is what is holding me up on here, but I've finally made time to work on it. I thought I could do it with just a few highlights, but the pictures on Ben and Laura's new camera are awesome, so this will take a couple of posts, I think! The pictures are also HUGE, and though I have just learned to resize, it is taking a while to sort through the 500 pictures to find my favorites, rename them so I can find them, resize them so I can post them, and write about them! Here goes….

For starters, Tim was unable to go with us this year due to teaching and volleyball commitments. :( It made it a bittersweet weekend. And, while we loved hanging out with the family, he was truly missed. But, we tried to have a little bit of fun without him, anyway!

*Side note....Grace sat up that morning when I woke her and said, (all wide eyed!) "It's going to be a long drive. I better go potty!" There was a bit of excitement in the air! And, we didn't leave until after lunch!*

Getting a hair cut

The water park

Big girl! (A little positive peer pressure from her cousins!)

Pool Fun

Our pool days are numbered as the cool evenings are cooling off the pool water. Unlike last year, though it was a great summer to have a pool! Here are some of our highlights....

Pool party for our babysitters.

Poor Cooper has 0% body fat and gets cold in about 5 minutes. Thank goodness Grandpa was there to warm him up!
