Winding down summer

School starts in 2 days, does not seem possible! I'm not ready to send my kids back to school yet. It's been such a fun summer! But, it will be good to get back into a routine. Here's what we've been up to the past couple of weeks. 

Porter lost a tooth....his 5th baby tooth!

We headed to the fair. The weather was very mild and the crowds not too bad! 

Butter Cow

Waiting for a show to start

The show we saw was a balloon show and this guy put 3 full size adults and 2 children inside this balloon! It was totally nuts!

Selfie on the Ole Mill Ride. 

Some produce from my little garden. Yum!

Spend our annual weekend at Fogel Lake!

Hanging with the archery props

Water balloon fight!

Great action shot of Stella getting soaked!

headed to Aunt Karleen and Uncle Johns to ride horses. So fun!


Roasting hot dogs

Celebrating Uncle Mark turning 60!


We left Fogel Lake and headed started to Lake Panorama to drop Stella off at CYC camp. She just stayed for 3 days/nights this year. She's already requesting staying the full 5 days next year. 

Went to the ICubs game with friends!

Porter won this bat at the ballpark, he was so excited and proud!

We brought our neighbor with us and had to get him a bat! :-)

Beautiful night for a ball game!

Stella at a birthday party sleepover. Just thought this was a good pic of her. :-) (yes, she's drawing boobs on her balloon guy.....)

Porter had Owen spend the night and they played lots of water gun wars!

Last night we went to the drive-in movie in Newton. I've been wanting to take the kids forever! We had a great time and will definitely be back!

Ahh, the fair!! I didn't realize you had tooth pillows. That's the same one we had as kids & Mom has now made all the grandkids one, too. Can't believe school's starting this week! Looks like you all had a fun summer!
