First Grade

Just like that, Evelyn is back to school! She is very excited about first grade!

Summer, continued

Here are some of our summer outings and fun!

Evelyn did a week of Daisy Day Camp

We took a train ride downtown 

We met Grandma Jean at Bison's Bluff nature play ground

Pirate's Cove with Grandma Marilyn and Grandpa Wally

Blackberry Farm with Aunt Amy and Grandma Jean

A few hidden gems at the arboretum... the Spruce plot and Big Rock

Cougars Game with our buddies!

Day out with Thomas

Wisconsin Getaway

We love Elkhart Lake!

Uncle Frank was also along for the trip! 

This sleeping arrangement worked surprisingly well.

Grandpa Wally took us all for a boat ride.

We took a little trip to Sheboygan. This is Bookworm Gardens, a really fun park area. 

We also took a walk on Lake Michigan, but it was definitely too cold to swim!

It was a great time!

Good Times in MN

We took a long weekend trip to Minnesota, and here are some of the highlights (ok, a lot of the highlights). 

We find ourselves at one playground or another almost daily! This one was great, until we got caught in a downpour...

We went to Trader Joe's instead. Which has an elevator, and a bench inside said elevator. 

 Hadleigh has a pretty sweet tree swing. 

Big sisters, 

little sisters. 

 "Of course I'm not planning to crawl outside onto these dangerous concrete steps, Auntie Beth!"

 Bike club.

This was at "chutes and ladders" park, a huge playground with amazing climbing structures and slides.

 there was also a lake, obviously. 

Wedding of the century right here. A lot of planning and preparation that went into this event! It was very nice of the big girls next door to play along. 

We were hoping to get a nice enough day for the beach, but that wasn't in the cards! So we settled for a visit to the Farmer's Market, lake and playground, and trolley ride instead. 

Bears in their cave

It was a fun weekend!
