Summer Fun

As we reflect over the summer that has so quickly gone by, we want to remember some more of the good times!! We have enjoyed a week get away to the mountains of Georgia, a weekend at Shedd Aquarium, and a lake weekend. That's not to mention the other posts from this summer. It's no wonder the summer went by so fast!!

Daddy and Daniel, hiking through Georgia.

Cruising the lake. I think he's destined for water!


Daniel loved the animals at the Shedd Aquarium. I think he was especially happy to see this one...because he could touch it.


He's Daniel again with his best friend, water. They had a splash pool area for the younger kids. Within seconds, he was soaked.



We also picked up a wading pool for our little man to play in. It made summer, but that much sweeter for him.

Indy Weekend

A few weekends ago, we were able to get away for a few days for Indianapolis. We had such a great time with the Cummings family. The boys were SO fun to watch as they played together for hours. The zoo, albeit a bit rainy, was very fun. Daniel seemed to enjoy the meerkats, penguins, and the shark exhibits.

"Daddy, look at those"

Jon and Daniel checking out the penguins.

Mommy and Daniel petting a shark.

This was Daniel's first swimming pool experience and boy did he LOVE it.

On Sunday, we took a hike in the Eagle Creek Park. The boys enjoy their packs. Daniel didn't disappoint; he sang to Jon the whole way!

We have a ONE year old!

Daniel was a lucky boy this year because he had 3 birthday celebrations: one in Georgia with Jess's side of the family, one on his birthday at Brown County State Park with our church family, and one the Fourth of July. Although it was not intentionally planned this way, Daniel had an Elmo birthday! We all loved the cake!!

Fun Weekend

aren't we cute!

Daniel hates the grass. He refuses to crawl in it, he just
sticks his hands and feet in the air so they won't touch it.
Hilarious!!

We had a crazy hail storm on Saturday, Daniel
didn't know what to think.

This was 2 hours after the storm and there was still
hail piled up everywhere.

So Proud ! !

Our little boy is growing up so fast. I know I have been slacking on the updates, but this one should make up for it. We just happened to have our video camera with us for Daniel's first time walking without any help. Enjoy!

GOOFBALL!

THIS PICTURE MADE US LAUGH SO HARD. DANIEL WAS TRYING TO PICK UP HIS NEW TOY WITH ALL HIS MIGHT, AND HE WAS REALLY STRAINING AS YOU CAN SEE.

HAMPER BOY ! ! !
