More Summer Fun

Summer is quickly passing us by, so we're enjoying as much of the summer fun as we can!





Drying off after a swim in the lake.



Cupcakes are good!




Riley had a growth removed from his tail and had to wear a bandage almost as long as his tail. He was happy when it could finally come off!





Claire is becoming more adventerous....this time she discovered how to completely unroll the toilet paper-such fun!


"May I help you?"



Ben's been working very hard over the past several months to fill up his zoo jar with buttons. If he had a good day or Mom and Dad catch him doing something good, we reward him with buttons. Now that it's full, we get to go the zoo!


Claire loved her first trip to the zoo! Sparky the seal came right up to the glass to see her!


A trip to the Como Zoo always includes a carousel ride!



Claire LOVED her first carousel ride...she screamed her head off when it stopped and we had to get off!


Check out Ben's new zoo keeper hat with a light!


We visited our friends, the Herzbergs, and had a great time! Here, Ben and Ava are enjoying their homemade snow cones....yum!


Okay, the video quality isn't that great (I had to save it to a lower resolution so it could be uploaded), but check out Ben jumping off the dock and swimming back. It's taken the better part of the summer to build his confidence in doing it without help and now, we have trouble getting him out of the water!
