Bay Days

Bay Days was all "girl power" this year...Mimi, Aunt Kate, me, Kiera, and Aunt Kate's nieces, A and S went together. Though they only see each other once or twice a year, these girls always pick up right where they left off and have a great time together! 

Swimming Lessons

Another summer, another year of swimming lessons! Our girl is stuck in a rut in level three. This year, they placed her in level 3/4, but she still needs to work on her rotary breathing to get the front crawl down pat. We are going to sign her up for one more session of lessons before summer is over. Fingers crossed she'll make it to level 4! Here she is celebrating the end of lessons at Friday Fun Day...

The end of lessons calls for Dippin' Dots! 

Wildlife Safari

Adventure time! We went to the Wildlife Safari park in Port Clinton. As soon as we pulled into the parking lot, we were greeted by this camel, which Kiera named "Two Toes." We then headed into the park to see spider monkeys, alpaca, tortoise, and an albino alligator. 

Show and Touch time! Petting a skink and a boa

Pig race

After the the park portion, we got into Granpa's truck and drove through the wildlife safari. 

Good-bye Two Toes! 

Pool Time and Big Brother Time

Oh, to have a pool in your backyard! Kiera went in the pool at least twice every day we were at Gavin and Erin's house. The little man liked the pool too. 

 Before we left, we had a mini photo shoot with Gavin; Erin was inside getting Conlan to bed, so they missed out on the fun. I love the pictures of "our bookends" (the oldest child and the youngest child). Kiera loves her silly time with Gavin, she looks forward to it each time we see him!
