Our Summer


Our summer has been quite BUSY! First off, the kids LOVE water and beg and plead to go swimming every day. Rain or shine. We've made it to the pool quite a bit and Carlie can now float on her stomach, kick her feet and move her arms in the "freestyle" style. She's a little fish! Gavin has no fear and dives right in.

We also spent a lot of time at Indian Lake. We enjoy boating and going to the beach!

We went to Port Clinton, Ohio to an African Safari. It was really neat and we got to feed the animals out of our car windows!! Gavin is such a little piggy though, he refused to give his carrot up to any animal trying to take it, no matter how big they were!

The kids enjoyed our trip to Put In Bay. They both LOVED going on the Ferry and cruising around on our golf cart to some of the shops there.
Although we've been super busy all summer with many changes in our lives, (Jill starting school and the kids going to daycare) We've still managed to find time to relax and do many of the simple things we love. The kids go swimming in the back yard almost every day, even if we just get home from the "big pool"! Our favorite thing to do around town is walk up to feed the ducks. The swans are even warming up to us!! Plus, we've had LOTS of Carlie's friends over this summer for swimming, painting, coloring, puzzles and sleepovers!!
