More summer fun...

More summertime fun

A summer would not be complete without a trip to the Dells here in Wisconsin. Ikey and Ellie made a trip up north to visit our family with their family. The kids enjoy spending time at the water parks. Joel may have enjoyed a bit less than others, however. We try to spend time outdoor as much as we can. The boys seem to grow much faster in the summer, must be all the sunlight!

Joel is 2 years old!

Happy Birthday, Joel!
Happy Birthday to Joel! Can you even believe that it's been 2 years?
We celebrated the whole weekend. Birthday cakes, balloons, decoration all in dinosaur theme, one of Joel's favorites at this time. He even knows his dinosaurs and is impartial to iguanodon and triceratops ("tops" to Joel). Party guests: Noah, Nolan, Connor and Riley and the rest serve as chaperones. We end the weekend with pizza dinner at our neighborhood hot spot, Roman Candles. Cheers to Joel!

We didn't venture out too far from home to enjoy our summer. .Summer means swimming in a beautiful setting at Goodman pool, returning to Opera in the Park, eating Stoneman sweet corn and of course, playing in the park. The fun is even more exciting when we have family visiting us. Noah and Joel were quite a host to cousin Nolan.
