Slippery Rock and Anniversary Party

Over Father's Day weekend, we traveled up north by Tim's grandparents to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary (which the actual date was earlier in the year when there was still snow). Saturday was warm enough for the "boys" to venture out to Slippery Rock -- basically a water slide on a very smooth, and slippery rock off of Chute Pond. Caleb had never gone down the rock before, so daddy got to help him. He LOVED it!

The anniversary party itself was on Father's Day. It turned out to be a bit rainy so we were stuck under the pavillion the whole time. Well, I guess the boys managed to play some frisbee while dodging raindrops. Even though the weather was a little chilly and grey, we all ended up having a good time. Congratulations again to Wayne and Sandy Wagner!! -- We only hope we can live up to your wonderful example. Here's to 50 more years!

Fun at the Beach

On a really hot day a few weeks ago, we decided to go hang out at the beach. Enjoy our photos!

My baby graduated from 4K!

Caleb had a busy last few weeks of school. They had a field trip to the Possibility Playground, Doughnuts with Dads, and they did a class cookout. There was even a little graduation ceremony. I can't believe that my "baby" is ready for kindergarten already!!

Garage -- We love having a place to put our cars and store our outdoor toys (both Caleb's and Tim's lol). Although, I think Caleb is more obsessed with pushing the garage button.

Yard -- Other than having to maintain the yard, we love having a place to play when it's nice outside. I can just let the kids go in the backyard as long as the gate is closed otherwise Sonya will escape and take herself for a walk. We even have a play platform area in the backyard and horseshoe stakes set up too! There's all sorts of plants growing -- I'm learning what they are and trying to keep the areas weeded.

Tulips blooming :-)
