Summer 2019

We have had a really great summer. We have been incredibly busy though and I haven't thought about updating the blog until today. I don't want the summer to go by without an update, so this one will be one big post on lots of the things that have kept us busy and having fun.

Summer 2019

1. The boys have spent LOTS of time playing with their neighborhood friends.

2. We have spent a great deal of time at the pool. In addition to swim and dive practice, we have enjoyed pool parties and hanging out with family and friends.

3. We have spent quite a bit of time with our extended family, including Grammy, Granddaddy, Aunt Heather, Caleb, Emily, Jackson, Bonnie Mom, Grandpa, Aunt Rachel, Uncle Teddy, Caroline, Alex and Andy.

4. We have gone to the zoo, Bernheim Forest, House of Boom, Malibu Jack's, Kentucky Kingdom, and Farmington Historic Plantation.

5. We walked the bridge, enjoyed the Saint Aloysius picnic, hiked to the waterfall, played at the playground, had a sleepover with Grammy and Granddaddy, and gone fishing and crayfishing.

6. We celebrated Father's Day. Carl picked walking the Bridge and having lunch at Parlour. We also got ice cream. We all enjoyed our time together.

7. We enjoyed a very laid back Independence Day. We went to the pool party, took a nap, went to the parade and enjoyed fireworks with the Himmelsbach family.

8. We got a new cat! Eliza is such a sweet kitty and we are so excited to have her as part of the family.

I am sure I have forgotten something, but this sums up a lot of the fun things we have done. It has been a great summer so far. Thankfully, we still have several more weeks of fun before school starts!

Here are some pictures from our adventures this summer.

Happy Father's Day! We are so lucky to have such an amazing Daddy!

Welcome home, Eliza! We love you!

We have made several trips to House of Boom this summer. The boys always have lots of fun!

Malibu Jacks is always fun. The boys like mini golf, go carts, and playing games.

We enjoyed the Saint Aloysius picnic. The games were lots of fun and both boys won several games. Preston liked the kid splay area and getting his hair painted. Evan REALLY wanted to win a fish. He played so long without winning, that they let him pick one anyway. He was THRILLED!

We visited Farmington Historic Plantation, where President Lincoln stayed while visiting his friend. The boys learned a lot about life in the 1800s. Afterwards, they enjoyed lunch at Costco, which they loved.

Independence Day

We have gone fishing and crayfishing many times this summer. 

We enjoyed going to Bernheim Forest to see the Forest Giants. They were super cool and we had a lot of fun.

The kids were SO excited to be together again!
