Visit from Grandma

Grandma came to visit and went to the Miles of Smiles event in Aberdeen.  Alex was excited to see Spongebob, but still not quite comfortable enough to get too close.

Lots of cool rides.

It was a very hot, muggy day, but they both kept their wits.

Coolin' in the shade.

Jacob tried the Euro Bungee, he's pretty brave.

Even doing backflips!

Time to cool off with some sno-cones.

Summer Fun

Jacob has been playing baseball this summer.

After a game in Miller we stopped at Lake Louise State Park for a bit.  The big checkers board is always a big hit.

Alex at the Mina Lake beach.

Just chillin'.

We took the dogs to the lake for a swim and they were pretty excited.

Alex tossing the dummy. 

Max is still a beginner at swimming, Molly may be getting old, but in the water she is pretty amazing.

After a game in Redfield, we picnicked at Fisher's Grove State Park.

We had time to search for bugs with the butterfly net.

Jacob was intrigued by his find.

Too much fun!
