Camping with Friends

On Thursday night some of our friends rented little cabins at Wylie Park. This park is just across from Storybook Land. DH was on call this night so I didn't feel like staying overnight in a small cabin with twin bunk-beds all by myself and the kids. We went out and ate with everyone, did smores, and some sparklers: then slept in our own beds. The kids all played so well together! They had a lot of fun. I think we are going to make this a summer event every year.

Grilled hotdogs and brats for everyone

The best group picture we got

Evie's first sparkler. She did really well.

Will's first sparkler. Last year he didn't like fireworks.

Evie's First Big Screen Movie

We took Evie to her first movie in a movie theater. She did really well! It took two bags of popcorn, pop, twizzlers, and two potty breaks. But we made it through the movie. Inside Out was a cute movie. Will really liked it too.

Tee Ball

 

Will is playing tee ball this summer. He plays Monday - Thursday for an hour with games on Tuesdays and Thursdays. His team is called the Royals. The team is made up of future Roncalli Kindergarteners. He enjoys it and enjoys meeting his new classmates this summer before school.

Bunnies

A few weekends ago the kids and I went down to the farm for the day. Grandma was put on bunny feeding duty by our neighbor farm. The kids had so much fun feeding and holding the bunnies.

Happy Father's Day

 

Happy Father's Day to a Dad that will do anything for our family; including getting into the cold pool so Mommy doesn't.  :)  We love you!

I also know that this Dad has and would do the same  :)

We Love You and So Lucky to Call You Ours!

Father's Day Weekend

We traveled back to Mapleton for DH's 15 year high school reunion. It was a quick trip. DH and I golfed 18 holes on Saturday (the most I have played in over 6 years) and went to the reunion picnic and out for drinks after that. It was a hot weekend and the kids played outside at Grandma's house.

Iowa has lightning bugs. South Dakota does not. The kids loved catching them in their nets.

Smore's and star gazing each night too

Family in Town

We had family visit us this weekend! DH's cousin, Beau, and his wife and kids from Sioux Falls visited us for the first time. We had a fun weekend which involved Storybook Land, grilling out, and playing around the house.
