Slower August

In August, we said goodbye to our company, and hit the road instead.  We visited Grandma and PopPop's new house, and celebrated the end of summer at Dutch Wonderland.

Cooper's last day at daycare

Someone did not like this ride!

But someone else did!

This is more my speed!

I'm thinking not.

Loving it.


This boat ride with Mom is totally my speed!

Loving the bumper cars.





This is perfect for me!

Hot in July

Our summer stream of visitors continued through July.  We welcomed Aunt Arlene, Arthur, Ben and Jason, and Lorraine and Alex snuck away for a quick weekend trip to Niagara Falls.



The views from our room - incredible!

We celebrated our nation's birthday by hosting Lorraine's family, and lots of silliness.

Here comes summer!

June brought us some hot days, and Cooper's achievement ceremony, celebrating his last year in preschool!  (It also brought us a new nephew, courtesy of Scott and Jodi.)  And we were happy to host cousins Rita, Joy, Ted, and Connor!

May days!

After returning from Disney, we settled back into our usual hectic life.  We played outside, and we enjoyed the not-so-hot spring that we had.
