July Fun

One time we stopped at Wendy's before a swim meet. I got the kids Frosties and got myself a Dr. Pepper. Guess which one Elise claimed as her own? Caffeinated toddlers are the best! 

Aaron likes to find the absolute messiest way to consume a Frosty.

Catherine was very proud of this MagnaTile tower she build (with a little help from Daddy):

Free Slurpee day is always a hit:

Once again, Elise stole my drink:

We celebrated Luke's birthday by trying to blow out his candles for him:

Then we enjoyed playing in their awesome woods:

Aaron, Paul, Catherine & Elise on a log.

You can't tell, but there's a small cliff right in front of them.

Perfect place to sit.

We had a Relief Society activity at Rocks State Park. 

This may be the only RS activity I attend all year.

Aaron & Elise enjoyed our new tube:

Catherine was great at giving rides:

There is nothing like a Lohr's apple cider slushie on a miserable, humid summer day:

Catherine is officially at the "take a picture of me doing this, Mom!" stage:

Elise thinks she is very big and now refuses the baby swings:

Childhood rite of passage: the fingerpaint disaster

We are loving summer so far!
