We went to the water park at Cherry Valley Lodge last weekend. Jack and Annie are little fish.
I think this is my favorite picture.
Jack finally loves to ride his bike. He is so proud. He started out only wanting to ride in the barn but his confidence has grown and now he is unstoppable. Lots of crashes!
JD lives next door and Jack and Annie LOVE him!
Our beloved Fletcher just got sprayed by a skunk. It is so horrible. I feel so bad for him.
We went to breakfast at the fair with Nico and Gino.
Jack and Annie's first day of school.
We have no idea how Jack finds so many odd bugs. This praying mantis crawled all over him for hours.
Jack turned 4. Can you believe it?
We had a bike parade for Jack's birthday. Everyone brought their bike and we decorated them. We even had music. Erich played the french horn and David played the "drums".
Jack wanted to go to Wasabi for his birthday. He loves when they cook with fire at the table. He was really impressed with the fire on his ice cream.
Mimi, Papa, Grandpa Bob and Grandma Jane went to Wasabi with us.
riding the train at the park
We went to The Pittsburgh Children's Museum with Aleia and Alexa. It is an awesome museum.
Jack was in his element around all the tractors at The Steam Show.
a picnic with Gigi
Jack and Annie played soccer in August and September. It was nerve racking the first several games. Jack thought he was supposed to shove everyone near the ball then tackle them. By the 3rd game we gave him a little tractor to hold in his hand and it worked like magic. He concentrated on the tractor and ran up and down the field AND up and down the field.
We went to The Farm in Walnut Creek. It is great! We actually got to touch and feed giraffes.
We went to the beach with Cousin Curtis and Luke. Jack and Annie couldn't get enough of them. It was a very fun week. Never a dull moment!
Curtis and Luke showed Jack how to boogie board.
Drip castles were a favorite activity.
Jack acts like a muscle man?
We went to the Aquarium and went on a behind the scenes tour of the sea turtle hospital. This loggerhead turtle is being nursed back to health and then will be released back into the ocean.
Curtis and Luke spent 10 days at Grandma Jane and Grandpa Bob's house. We did so many fun things together. But staying home and riding in the gator was the favorite.
A Monarch Butterfly house- Jack was in heaven! More bugs!!!!!
We went to Cedar Point. Cousin Morgan worked there for the summer. He worked on the train. Jack and Annie thought that was really cool.
Curtis, Luke and I stayed out late one night riding all the rides. We went through this lighted forest. It was like walking through a fairy tale. Even Curtis and Luke were impressed.
Jack and Annie liked the frog hopper. It took them 20 feet into the air then dropped them. They thought it was hilarious.
Golfing was another favorite activity. Curtis and Luke just sent Jack their first golf clubs. We are so excited to try them out.
We went on an amish tour and ate dinner on an amish farm. After dinner, they gave the kids a real buggy ride.
Annie paints with lemons and limes. Annie loves to paint and do crafts. Jack, not so much!
Swimming with Gigi
We entered the Fourth of July frog jumping contest. The frog jumped out of our hands the entire way to the circle. We set it down and it just sat there. Jack was so disappointed. So, now you are all caught up! It will never be more than a few weeks again, sorry!
