bear lake

Andrew's side of the family had a reunion at Bear Lake. I had only heard good things about it and it certainly did not disappoint! I could not get over the beautiful landscape. We had a great time lounging around, boating, visiting a cave, a local show, going on a carriage ride, off roadking, eating milkshakes (I believe I had 3) and playing at the beach!

Thank you for the memories!

summer soccer

Little Bug and Tank participated in a summer soccer program this year. It was nice because both games were on the same night back to back. This happened to be Tank's first time being signed up for an official activity and he was pretty excited about moving up in the ranks around here. He did participate in the games, but we quickly found out his favorite things were the after game snacks, playing with the grasshoppers, and getting dirty with his friend while Little Bug played. Oh I love that boy. Little Bug did great! She was quite active in going after the ball and her favorite part was playing goalie. This year was also particularly fun because Andrew got to be one of her coaches. 

boating

We had another great summer boating with friends! We even got to try their surf board out this year. It was particularly fun with some of the kids being brave enough to give it a try with the dads.   

Unfortunately, when Andrew surfed with Tank he ended up on the wrong side, putting Tank's face right in the spray. He recovered, but was not too sure he'd try it again.

These little ones were such good troopers every time we went out.

Once again being a trooper.

They're already becoming pretty good buddies.

We're already looking forward to next summer!
