Summertime Fun!

I've been a blog slacker lately. Here are a bunch of summer photos from the last few weeks. The first few are from the Hudson Fireworks last Tuesday evening. Brent and Megan invited us up to watch the fireworks with them and a bunch of their friends. We had a great time until it started to rain halfway through the fireworks show and we had to pack up and run to the van. Then we sat in traffic for 45 minutes. Oh well, it was still fun! And at least we got to see about half of the show.
Playing with glow sticks. Lily and Dillon loved running around with Luke and the other kids.


Having fun with Luke!
Lacy stole my chair. She climbed up there herself. She's such a stinker!
Sparklers!


I was trying to show Lacy a sparkler, keep her from burning herself and take a photo. Didn't turn out so well!
She really wanted to touch it.

Lacy and I snuggling during the fireworks show!
Lily laughing and playing while watching the fireworks.

Fourth of July fun. We went to Headlands Beach, Lake Erie for the 4th. I didn't get any photos of us swimming in the lake but here are a few from our lunch. We had so much fun in the water. These kids are water babies. They loved the waves. We weren't allowed to take floatation devices but they had their life jackets on, so it worked out well. We just had to hold Lacy. Lily met a little boy named Sam. He was 7 and followed her everywhere. And so it startes already...


Lacy found Dillon's chocolate cookie and ate it or smeared it all over herself.
The next few photos are from Father's Day. We took the kids to the Jackson Park before we ate lunch at Swenson's and went over to Nana and Papa's to swim.













Lacy throwing a fit! She looks like a Zhu zhu pet! The sunscreen made her hair crazy!
That's better. Such a sweet little girl.

And the last few photos are from last Sunday. We were letting the kids swim in their pools in our backyard when our neighbor came down and invited us to their house. They are a retired couple and had their grandkids over for the day. They had set up a huge slip n slide and had a huge bouncy house/waterslide set up. They invited a bunch of kids from the neighborhood down to enjoy the fun. The kids loved it!

Ready, set, slide!

Lacy Walking and Talking

Lacy walking around and saying "Mommy!"
I tried to get a good photo of all 3 kids standing next to each other. But they move too much :)

Lily's Dance Recital Photos

On Sunday, Lily had her second dance recital! She had 3 routines - ballet, tap and jazz! She was beautiful and did a great job! Next year, she's going to try baton :) I'm so excited to teach her and practice with her :)


 Beautiful girl! It's hard to tell but she has on some eye shadow, mascara and lipstick :)
 Playing with her dance friends backstage before the show.


 Lydia and Lily. Lydia is going to take baton too.
 Group photo except one girl was missing. Lily's friend, Carly, is standing right next to her on the right. They are going to kindergarten together and we signed them up to be in the same class :)
 After the show, Lily got some flowers for her great performance :)
