THOSE GOOD OLE HOT DAYS OF SUMMER


This was Brian's clever idea...
Attach the slip & slide to the end of the swing set slide! The funniest part was when the girls would get to the end of it and continue sliding on the grass! (It does not sound so funny now...Guess ya had to be there!)
A good portion of our July was spent at swimming lessons,

and the fair. After all, who can resist an elephant ear and some deep fried wisconsin cheese? (Actually, the cheese makes me sick, but it's a favorite of Brian's.)
We went to the fair several times, but the highlight for the girls was spending kids day there with cousin Gabi and aunt Tami. (This pic is yet another thing at the fair, that makes me natious)

Our entire summer has seemed very busy, and yet we didn't do anything major (well aside from adding another member to the family.) Some of the best moments were the times when we were actually able to slow down and just "ENJOY LIFE." On this particular Sunday, we spent the evening at Brian's Aunt Edna and Uncle Dale's pond to let the girls try out their new "Fishing Equipment". Brian had fun using his "expertise" to teach the girls to cast out, and they actually did a pretty good job! I mainly enjoyed the quiet evening and had fun snapping pictures!


Kamryn and cousin Adam had no fear of the worms. In fact, Kam was quite intrigued! Mommy and Nicole, on the other hand, thought they were disgusting! I know...I know... it's just a tiny worm...but they're still gross!
The Prize catch! Both of the girls caught several fish. Since we were throwing them back into the water, Niki had the fun of even catching the same fish twice! (Silly fish...must not have learned his lesson the first time!)
Towards the end of the evening, we noticed that Kamryn was having a little "heart to heart" with Uncle Dale. She was really taking in all that he was saying...but his nice and shiny bald head was such a distraction...
...She just couldn't resist!
