Summer Fun

We love summer. We love the sun, the food, the friends, the trips. We love it all!

We're on bikes! Colin is on 2 wheels and Justin upgraded a size. Our top two places to bike ride are Colin's elementary school and...Starbucks! =)

 Kids found a tree frog and Grandma helped them build a habitat. (the next week, they even found a toad!)

 Jack's goal was to cut down 2 of grandma's 4 apple trees on one of our visits. Who knew how HUGE one of those trees were?! We got through 1 and called it quits for the day.

 Jack took the kids to Cedar Point for the first time (with the Virgina Elwells and other cousins). It was a HUGE hit! Colin rode the bigger roller coasters and declared the Gemini his favorite. Justin rode his happy little heart away in the Snoopy area. All of the rides were perfectly his size. Only pics of Justin - Colin was busy on the big rides. But Colin will tell you all about those rides if you ask. =)

 Cousin Time! Play hard, sleep hard. haha.

Colin busy building away and Justin made me a necklace. And Justin's necklace is the first decoration in my new office. =)

A summer full of swim dates, playground time, birthday parties and barbeques so far. No complaining from us - life is good.

• Jack: Busy and enjoying life. Taking the boys fishing and hiking. Teaching them archery.
• Jamie: Enjoying the new job and keeping busy. Cooking, playing, enjoying every minute of this 4 & 6 year old stage of life.
