A Little of our Summer Fun

I need to play a little catch-up before I get too far behind. So here's just a little of what we've been up to this summer...

Our big Father's Day Banner for Daddy

Joe had to work on Father's Day so we were able to make this while he was gone and have it all ready when he came home! Each of the kids said little messages that we wrote on the sign. Here are a few of them...

KATE: "I love coloring with Daddy!" "I love when Daddy tickles me!" "I love riding bikes with Daddy!"

SAM: "I love playing Mario with Daddy!" "I love wrestling with Dad!" "I like when Dad gives us cake!"

ALICE: "I like to read with Dada!" "I like to play pirates with Daddy!" "I like when Daddy plays horsey with me!"

Then we attached a bunch of pictures of Joe with the 3 kids.

Setting up the kids' tent and having a campout in the living room is always a hit.

The 4th of July

I got the kids all ready in their red, white, and blue and we headed over to Buhl for a parade. It was fun because Joe was working traffic control for the parade and we got to sit right by him and his patrol car/barricade. It was the second best thing to actually watching the parade with him!

"I pledge allegiance..."

After the 4th, Joe had a few days off so we headed up to the cabin with our friends, the Comoroskys, for some much needed relaxation. So much relaxing, in fact, that this is the only picture I took. I like that Alice has opted out of the pillow pet for a sister pillow instead!
