Our summer has definitely looked very different than past summers. The kids have not been able to participate in the Day Camps that they usually enjoy in the summer. We have tried to make the best of things and have fun as a family. We have a new play set at the office, which is great. We also bought an inflatable pool to keep at the office. The yard behind the office is fenced in and large and ideal for Luke to play in, since he likes to run off. We took several trips to the zoo. Lilly had tutoring, so the boys and I explored downtown and the Botanical Conservatory while she worked.
Luke got a much needed haircut
wasting time during piano lessons - the kids could only go in one at a time, so we walked to the local Starbucks and around the neighborhood while Liam and Lilly took turns in lessons.
Dave likes to take the kids to the seminary to run around - so much open space
Lilly's great catch!
Michigan Staycation at Grandma's House
Zoo
We were actually please that the zoo gave timed tickets to members. We liked that there were less crowds!
Luke is not quite sure of the carousel yet. He doesn't mind riding it, but wants to know how everything works.
I've always wanted Hollyhocks and they finally bloomed in my garden. I was very pleased.
Fathers Day!
Lilly had tutoring at St. Paul's. The boys and I went to the Botanical Conservatory while we waited for her session to get done.
We had some visitors to our side yard
Salad loving boy!
