"Round, round, get around, I get around"

Another week of summer fun! We made an excellent Craigslist purchase this week- our very own bouncy! It has a bit of wear to it, but for the price it could not be beat. We've busted it out several times already. Just wait for the pictures of it dominating our living room this winter.

Sam dives out!
The girls love the fun!


The Bethel roomies got together (minus Margie) last week to enjoy a sweet time together at Becca's. McKenna and Lily discovered a puzzle on the table, and while this pictures LOOKS like they are hard at work, they actually managed to destroy all the work that had been done while all the adults gabbed. So much for supervision, and so sorry Manuel.



This past weekend we celebrated Bjorn's aunt and uncle's 50th wedding anniversary~ congratulations Carolyn & Gil!! I managed to take no pictures, so we are hoping Karla will send out some of hers. The second cousins got to play around and in the lake and Lily loved it! They were all so sweet to her.
The biggest treat of the weekend though was a visit from Bjorn's sister Kaarin and her love, Patrick! We had a wonderful time together- visiting the lake and surprising everyone, BBQing at the Mitchell's, biking around downtown and lunching with Bjorn. Lily's phrase of the weekend was "Auntie Kaarin sit by you!", much to Kaarin's delight! We loved having them and are excited to meet their new little person arriving in December- yeah, another cousin!!

I see you!


Before the summer runs out and "Africa" leaves the zoo, Lily and I brought Papa to visit the giraffes, zebras and ostriches. I was a little bummed that the biscuit lady was MIA, so Lily was not able to feed the giraffes. She did think they were pretty cool though, claiming them to be her favorite animal we saw, along with the sharks.

Check that out!
A FABULOUS new addition to the zoo is a tree house adventure for the kiddies- very cool!

We also made our final trip to the Cobblestone pool with Mara & the girls, as well as Becs and AnnieGrace! Lily enjoyed lunch with the twins and some quality swim time as well. The sun was out and the water was warm- perfection!


Flippin' around!
A rare family shoot with all smiles!
So happy together!
