Summer Days

We had a busy week and a fun weekend with friends and family.  We hope everyone is enjoying summer!!!

Addie helped Ms Annie and Mr Bob by checking in on their cats last week :)

The boys hanging out.

Ayson excited that his Pokemon trading card arrived!  (he did not want to waste time and stop for a picture)

On Thursday, we went to Kate's house and Amy gave Adam her cup of pretend tea that Emeila had made.  Adam actually took a sip!!!! 

Emilia laughing at Adam :)

Addie playing with the pups

And the boys played video games

Kate gave Amy a sunflower lego set- now Amy has sunflowers that will never fade!

Emiila wanted her picture too!

Working on a craft.

On Saturday, the boys went to Oswego speedway to watch a modified race.  They met Grandma Collene, Mike, and Uncle Kurt at the race track.  The girls were not interested in going.

Building the sunflowers

Adam and the kiddos made zucchini bread whit chocolate chips - yum!!

Kate set up a slip and slide on Saturday and Addie went over to play

Kate then set up another slip and slide and a unicorn sprinkler - amazign!

On Saturday afternoon, there was a crazy amount of dragonflies and swallows flying around eating bugs that had just hatched.

On Sunday, the boys were back in Oswego as the races got rqained out on Saturday,  Amy asked Addie what she wanted to do - just girls- and after all of the choices were listed, she wanted to go to Kate's house and hang with the animals.  Kate made Addie waffles and a lemonade icey.  

Afterwards, the kdis played on the slip and slide

Visiting the chickens- Addie had to make sure her chicken, Gusty, was doing ok.

On Tuesday, friends came over to swim - it was too cold for our kids to swim but our friends did not mind!!!

Gorgeous full moon on Wednesday morning!

Friday night fun and we got to meet a new friend: Gordy - a new puppy for Kate's son, Emmett.  Emmett is holding Grody while Gordy doggie paddles in the pool :)

Amy's birthday activity was to go kayaking at Labrador pond early in the morning - so we went Saturday morning!  

Fog on the water.

Ayson checking out a patch of pitcher plants that Amy discovered for the first time ever at Labrador!

Very cool

A great blue heron was fishing while we were on the water.

Gorgeous morning!

When Ayson was getting off the water, he accidently caused his boat to move away from him and out into the pond.  Addie and Adam to the rescue!

After kayaking, we picked blue berries - yum!

The rows of berry bushes along the side of the hill.

Two monarch caterpillars on our front garden milkweed!

Looking for more caterpillars...

The kids picking apples so we could make two pies: a blueberry pie AND an apple pie!

Peeling - Addie wanted to try.

Yum!  Pool time and pie with friends!!!
