June 2015

We did swimming lessons this June.  I was surprised by how much they remembered from last year, and how fast they learned this year. 

Luke and Abigail were in the same class, and they went first.  Carly and Hailey were right after them in the same class too.  While Carly was waiting for her turn one day, she smacked her face with her knee on the tramp.  She knocked out her baby tooth and bled for a while.  She was mostly upset because she couldn't swim that day.  We always take pictures to send to Dad when the kids get hurt.

 We had s'mores one night.  I made the mistake of buying the GIANT marshmallows.  I think we all went to bed sick that night.

 We had such a rainy start to the baseball season, so the season went even longer than 

usual with makeup games.

 Good thing there were Grandparents to bring plenty of treats to keep Isaac entertained.

 Every year the city brings goats to the field behind out house to eat the weeds.  This year we woke up to lots of mooooooing.  The kids were so excited to have cows this time.  Every morning Ike would say cow over and over until we took him on the deck to look at the cows.  He liked to sit in the back yard and watch them through the fence.

 I was dying laughing one day when Ike found the neighbor's ball.  He was screaming because he couldn't figure out how to get it, even though he was touching it.

 We went to our Harrisville parade and got lots of candy.  For such a short parade, they throw out tons.  All the neighbor kids sat and ate their candy together.

 Ben had his work party at Lagoon this year.  Before we even got there, Hailey said she was only going on the ride, Bulgy the Whale.  She is not very daring.

So pretty much Hailey and I waited around while the other kids went with Dad on the fun rides.  Which actually, I prefer it that way.  The older I get, the more sick I get on rides.  Oh, and the best part... Grandma said she'd watch Ike while we went.  It was excellent. 

 We had our annual block party with the best neighbors ever!  We're so lucky to live where we do.  We had dinner together and watched the city fireworks.

Before the fireworks started that night... the kids decorated their bikes (and themselves) and did a bike parade, but it was too dark for pictures.
