Summer Vacation Comes to an End

Summer Vacation has come to an end. We are not all back in school yet, but our travelling is over. We had a lot of fun this year. I've already included some pictures of our trip to Utah and Georgia, so I decided to post some pictures of Mom, Dad, and Megan visiting us and then our trip up to Michigan this last week.

We went to Maumee Bay and played at the beach one day.

We celebrated Dad and Mom's 30th Wedding Anniversary a few weeks early. We got them a cake with their picture on it. (Notice they are wearing the same clothes in the picture on the cake! Completely coincidental, as the cake and party were a surprise!) We also made them a photo album with pictures of all their kids and grandkids in it.

Steven is fixing the car. We have had a lot of car trouble this summer. Dumb Cars!

The kids and I all riding the noodle horsey. I usually had 2 or 3 of them clinging to me in the pool.


Jared got brave and jumped off the diving board all by himself this year. He went down the slide and swam all over the pool. He really loves to swim!


Andrew also got brave this summer. Here is a movie of him jumping off the side of the pool. Once he finally decided the life jacket would hold him up in the water, he wanted to swim for hours at a time!
Rachel also had fun swimming. She would mostly stay on the steps and play with her cousin Mallory. We are all very tan from all our hours in the pool. I should also mention the pools perfect condition. The water was a beautiful blue and a perfect 85-90 degrees.

We had a great summer and hope to see everyone again before too long!
