Chesley has been enjoying spending time with family, swimming, biking, taking pictures, reading books from the library, and much more. His favorite part of the summer so far is the time he spent with his Aunt Delorah (10 years old) and Uncle Derrick (15 years old). For about 6 weeks they were just a few buildings away, almost always available to play. What great times they spent together!
Just got back from a trip to Wisconsin. During the trip we had some great family time. We visited a state park, walked along Lake Michigan, ate frozen custard, and enjoyed the view of the farming countryside.
Karl and his brother Jeff, had fun setting off fireworks. Then we made our way into Mason to watch the show they do every year at the Ingham County Fairgrounds.
Check out the pictures from the 2008 and 2007 fireworks! This is now the 6th year we have watched the them from our special parking spot where we can make a quick getaway without the traffic!
We got up and went strawberry picking this morning! It was very hot but we had a great time. We picked 12 lbs of strawberries in about 45 minutes and then decided we were done since we were all needing a drink. Now it’s time for strawberry jam, strawberries on ice cream, and strawberry smoothie!! Mmmmm!
As you can see… we had a great time visiting with Jeff, Amber, and Hannah while in Washington. They graciously allowed us to stay with them the entire visit. The highlights of our time with them include: our picnic dinner, playing euchre, Karl and Jeff’s time on the golf course, a fantastic Mexican restuarant, Jeff’s insatiable appetite for video games, a curious “bag of burgers”, and just hanging out.
It was Kaden’s turn to go out with Mommy and paint his own mug. I had prepped his mug for him with the base coats of paint. Kaden painted a design on one side and put his hand print on the other. Then we had fun taking funny pictures of ourselves to remember our outing!
