Summer Recap Volume 1: The Beach

School starts tomorrow. I am not ready...at all. Jack is off to a brand new school, same district but the new middle school has been completed. I am so excited for him. I am hoping that all the hard work he did last year will continue. Fall baseball begins tonight. Nothing like jumping in with both feet!

Sammy is off the kindergarten tomorrow. I can't even discuss that. I am NOT ready. He is more than ready but his poor mommy can't handle these kids growing up so fast. My girl friend pointed out why this is so hard for me yesterday. I am terrified to start this school ball rolling because it is a slippery slope. You send them off to kindergarten and when you turn around, they are teenagers. I know everyone says that but it really is true (*sniff, sniff*).

Before we can jump into the present, I have to recap the summer. It was magical and wonderous. We had adventure after adventure. Our week in Michigan was definitely a highlight!

My littles are growing up a mile a minute. They jumped on the jetski and didn't want to get off.

I even convinced my my mother in law to go for a ride. The real ride came when she finally relented and let her son drive her. It was a blast!!

Grandpa and girlies.


This is what hard work at the beach looks like. Our men were quite proud.



Babies in the sand...doens't get any better in my opinion!



This was my preferred way to spend the day. I was even brought a frosty adult beverage a few times. Perfection.




Anyone who has spent summertime in Michigan knows that ice cream on a near daily basis is a must. Diet? What diet?




Boys.



Girls.
BLISS!

Zoo Trip Numero Uno

While we were visiting my family in Omaha over Memorial day weekend, we took our first trip to the zoo for the summer.

We love the zoo. My girlies especially love the reptiles and amphibians. I am sure you can imagine that the enormous frog hangin' with the snake was a real treat:)

Finny had the best seat in the house.



The Omaha zoo had this amazing swamp exhibit. We were so close to alligators and other creepy critters.


Takin' a little breather makes for a prime photo op.



Have I told you lately how much I ADORE all of these kiddos...sort of especially my big one? He is so sweet and good with the little people.




This was my favorite part of the zoo. The jellyfish were mesmerizing! Notice the poofy headed girl and her favorite cousin standing next to her.



So very fun! Stay tuned because the little ones and I have already made a second zoo trip. We are doing great in racking up the summer adventures!
