Summertime Sadness

Steve and I did our best (well mostly Steve) to make the last week before school a fun one.  The kids went to the movies, the park, visit with Grandma, Six Flags (twice), the zoo and MSI.  Also they took their first Metra ride (commuter rail) to get to the city.  All in all, it was a tiring week but I think they had fun!

My boys are SIX!!!!

I cannot believe it but they are getting to be so grown up!  Even though we celebrated in the Dells, we had a dinner to celebrate my sister-in-law's birthday and we waited to open presents and have cake (everybody got their own personalized birthday dessert) on Friday the 25th. So the boys had to wait three days to get their scooters.  They were happy. Grandma got them these giant pizza slices that they love just as much and are dragging around the house!

Camping 2014

We did our annual camping trip to Devil's Lake this week.  It happen to fall during the boys birthday (the 22nd) so instead of hiking we went to Mount Olympus Amusement and Water Park in the Dells.  The boys were appropriately surprised and happy.  We didn't get a hike in but the water park walking wore us out anyway.  It was a great trip!  

Water Water Everywhere

The boys went on a Cub Scout water park night.  They got to swim from 8 to 10pm - just the Pack and no one else.  Sean swam very little - he spent the entire night doing the water slide.  Then he and Evan gave me a heart attack jumping into a 12 ft pool.  They took swimming and were fine (and there was a life guard) but it is hard for me to handle!

Sean's Mug is Famous

I post a lot of pictures to Flickr and Sean has been used in several internet things.  Most of them have been articles that are really advertisements.  Today though, he is on something kind of big.  I need to get him an agent!
