Bunker Beach

This past Wednesday we met the Meissners for some outdoor water park fun at Bunker Beach. It is the largest outdoor water park in MN and wow, is it awesome! Colin got to try out a wave pool which entails standing in a pool with artificially generated waves and jumping/crashing through them. Bunker Beach was lots of fun and I'm sure it will be a Summer tradition. Who knew there were so many fun water parks in the twin cities? :)

Lovin' the Lake

Darin and Tamara have rented a place on Ballantyne Lake and last weekend we had a blast with them on the water. The boys got to use the paddle boat, fishing, boat rides with Colin tubing, campfire with s'mores, and playing with the puppies the next day. It really was a great weekend! Thanks Darin, Tamara, Tabor, Tanner, and Dalton for being such great hosts and letting us stay at your place! I'm not sure I'm ready to get a cabin but definitely looking into a timeshare somewhere for a week. :)

Adam Giggles

4 Month Update

4 months old and Summer is quickly coming to an end. It has been quite an exciting month for our adorable little Adam. The biggest excitement is that he is sleeping through the night and not just 8 hours but a full 12 hours! He will still occasionally wake during the night but quickly discovers his thumb. I tried to convince him the nuk was better but he seems to prefer the convenience of that handy thumb. :)

He is also able to roll from his back to his tummy. His neck is so much stronger which is nice not to have have such a wobbly noodle when holding him. His eyes have definitely changed to a nice rich shade of brown which makes mommy so proud. We also had another ultrasound of that kidney and everything is looking great. Yay!

Daycare is going great. He is really liking his exersaucer and sitting in his bumbo or highchair at night for dinners. He is still a great snuggle bug and we all have to take turns as we love Adam cuddle time. Love you, Adam!

Colin's Summer Sports

This Summer Colin played both soccer and t-ball. He is quite the athlete and so much fun to watch play sports. What we are most proud of, though, is that he is such a team player. For example, the best goal of the season came in the last game. Colin had a break away all by himself, waited for his teammate to catch up, passed the ball and his teammate scored the goal. To see a 5 year old show such selflessness made us so proud. Sitting outside cheering on these kids was the perfect way to spend our early Summer evenings.
