The Beach Part 2

Now how could you resist such a cute face?

I tell you, Matthew is fearless. He got right in there and joined in on the fun.

This is a little water hole that the kids play in.
I can't get over that Bill played in it as a kid too.

Yep, it's us. Isn't he just so handsome?

The Beach Part 1

This year the kids shocked the socks off us!
They always have preferred the sand over the water.

Here we are in Lake Ontario.

such a beautiful place.

Grandpa with the kids.

Cottage

There's nothin' like makin' memories at
the cottage. I didn't know that the kids like to play football so much!

We spent the 4th of July weekend w/ family this year.

Oh, the hammock. David and Luke enjoyed this immensely.

You know...there are stories of their Daddy in this hammock as a child.
If you get the chance...ask him about that!

Zoo

I just love summer!
Last week, we made it out to the zoo with a slew of friends.
I have great childhood memories of going to the Fort Worth zoo.

Our local zoo is always a fun place to visit.

The kids just love the exhibits where the animals swim right past them!

Brown's Berry Patch

Strawberry pickin'

Makes my mouth water just thinking about it.

We went with a friend who has the cutest baby!

I just love watching babies play together...

We also were able to pick cherries...yum!

They were so plentiful that the trees just sagged with dark

rich sweet cherries. The kids had a great time, and of course

the place had a wonderful playground to go to also.

What fruits do you like to go pick?
