July FUN

We have been traveling almost every weekend since memorial day so it is nice to have some normal days during the week.  

We try to stay outside until its bedtime most nights. 

We spend a lot of time at Butler playing on campus. 

Caroline loves to play on campus too. 

They find all kind of ways to keep busy in our backyard. 

Daddy traveled for work a few nights this month...

Which means we walk to Scotty's for dinner! 

The girls love all being home together. 

A Day at the Zoo

We always celebrate Marin's last day of summer with a trip to the zoo.  We have done this since it was just Emmerson, Marin, and Claire. 

Our crew has more than doubled since then. 

Caroline has figured out it's more fun to walk than ride in the stroller and it's a whole new level of crazy keeping up and keeping track of all of them. 

Poor poor Audrey...Aunt Brigid and I decided it was better her than us. 

A Weekend at the Lake

We LOVE our time at the Colliers lake house.  Somehow we have managed to find a weekend that continues to work for everyone and have been able to make it an annual trip.  

We feel so lucky to have this group in our lives.  Neil grew up with the guys, we love their wives, and our kids are lucky to be growing up together! 

These kids have so much fun together! Don't ever mention to Caroline that she is missing from this picture due to missing from the weekend.  We left her with Nana and Pop Pop so we didn't have to watch her around the water all weekend.  It was a hard decision but the right one. 

We always go on Jeni's birthday weekend. It's fun to celebrate her all together. 

We all love the nightly sunset cruise. 

The kids literally swim and play all day long! 

Chad is a fan favorite! 

The guys take their job of being the anchor at the sandbar very seriously.  

Everyone gets to drive the boat.

The big girls tubed this year and shocked us by how much they liked it. 

Silly girls!
