Lake Erie

We hit the beach with some friends. I love Lake Erie on a hot summer's day. The kids love it more.




At least most of them do.

Camping in Cleveland

We went camping with a few friends and had a good time. We had the campgrounds all to ourselves and the kids could run wild.


After a water balloon fight and playing on the slip n' slide the kids were content to just play in the fire.


It's funny how Dillon wouldn't even let me touch his splinter, but he would let Tommy's dad dig into his finger with a huge knife.


The babies had a nice soak in the sinks.


The kids put on what they called a "show". It was really them just running around and screaming with the occasional tune thrown in.

All in all, a really good time. It was especially interesting Friday night before we went to bed to watch three guys, a doctor, a lawyer, and a dentist, all standing around trying to figure out how to make an effective trap for a raccoon. It didn't work. Maybe next time.

Our Annual Visit to the Great Wolf Lodge

Another Fun One!

Safety Town

The city we live in holds a little camp, free of charge, for entering kindergartners...
"Safety Town"
They attend every day for one week and learn all about safety, including traffic rules, memorizing their address, and staying away from strangers. They get to visit the fire station, check out the police cars, and take a ride on a school bus. At the end of the week they have a little graduation ceremony and then they get to play in the safety village. Dillon enjoyed camp and is still particular about lifting his bicycle helmet a little at intersections and telling me he is listening for sirens. I guess you can't be too safe right?

Thanks Grandma and Papa

We got a fun package from Grandma and Papa the other day. Lots of goodies from their trip to Hawaii. There isn't a picture of the yummy macadamia nut cookies cause they were gone in a flash.

Soccer Camp 2009

Dillon really took to soccer this year, I think we might have found a good way to burn off some of that extra energy. He was really pretty good and it was a lot of fun watching him kick that ball around. Too bad they haven't created some type of "snow soccer" sport so we could keep this up through the winter.
