June Fun!

Wow!! June is almost over!! Boo! Summer goes by way to fast. We've been super busy this month. The kids have had LOTS of playdates, a week of Vacation Bible School (I also volunteered the entire week, it was really fun), visits to Okoboji and Mt. Ayr, plus trips to Adventureland, etc. The list goes on and on! Here is some of the things we've done the past month.

Loading up on books! And Porter received his library card!! You have to be 5 to get one, he was very proud! :)

Dressing up Rexy! Doesn't he look pleased?!?!

Hosting a sleepover with their good friends!

Why yes, that would be an Angry Bird stuck to his face....why do you ask???!!

Playing at Raccoon River Beach and enjoying Sno Cones the size of their heads!

Taking a trip to Jester Park to play in the playscape and check out the bison with friends.

Headed downtown for some culture. Here they are visiting the Chinese Garden.

Checking out the pedistrian bridge

The girl does flips any chance she gets! Here she is flipping on the bridge.

Relaxing in the Chinese Gardens.

Roaming around the Papajohn Sculpture Park

Mike and I ran the Dam to Dam 20K the first Saturday of June with 8,000+ of our closest friends.

Really.  A trip to the ER will probably be on our list this summer.....  Hope everyone is having a great summer so far! :)

Okoboji Fun

We've been to Okoboji a few time already this sping/summer and look forward to going back up to celebrate teh 4th of July there. Here are a slew of pics that have been taken the last 2 times we were there.

Porter playing at the little park across the street from my inlaws house.

Getting buried in the sand at the beach just down the road from the house.

Steve and Linda were kind enough to watch the kids for us one night and Mike and I were able to go on a date!! Whoo hoo!! We had dinner at Bracco's (yum!) finished up with drinks at Barefoot Bar (fun!).

Mike and Steve fishing.

Kids fishing.

Linda had all the supplies to make S'mores, so we made them! :) Of course the kiddos loved this! :)

First trip of the season to Arnolds Park.

Stella doing a flip on the trampoline.

Another favorite spot for the kids to stop at: Sugar Shack!

A favorite spot for Mike and I: Taco House!! Nom nom nom.

Feeding the ducks.

A mama bird made a nest in the cover that goes above the boat. 5 cute baby birds are ready for some worms!

Ready to go tubing!!!!
