Going to the zoo.....

We made a special trip to the zoo with Grandma and Mom yesterday to see the Africa exhibit before it was done for the year. We had a good time seeing the animals, the bear was kind of a crazy swimmer!

Family Pictures

We have done family pictures with Margo LaPanta for the past three years and have been very happy with the results. This year was definitely the best! Margo came to our house last Saturday and Mom picked up the results today and thought we would share a few, there are 228 photos so picking a few to share was a challenge to say the least!

Princess Dance Camp

This week Grace was in dance camp. There was a princess theme and they danced, did crafts and painted their nails. She even came home with glitter makeup on most days!

Lucy Turns 3!

On Tuesday Lucy turned 3, we can't believe how fast the time has gone. She had a pretty fun day with a trip to the Mall of America to the Build-a-Bear store, lunch at Rainforest Cafe and then pizza and cake for supper!

Fishing, Dinner and New Friends

Monday night we went to dinner at the McStott's. Mom and Dad work with Dave (Scooter) at the Twins Ballpark. They had a pond in their backyard where we got to catch some fish. Their kids were there too and they played with us also, we even got presents! We had a great time.

Catching fish, our Barbie poles sure got a workout!

Visiting Dodgeville

This past weekend we went to Dodgeville to see Aunt Becky, Uncle Eric, Leyton and Brody. Aunt Jessie and Lauren came with us. We sure were busy; we went to the Madison Zoo, UW Memorial Union for ice cream and of course we did some shopping. A weekend with our Mom and her sisters would not be complete without some shopping!

Watching Aunt Tina's Ball game

We went to cheer on Aunt Tina Sunday night at ball and it worked, they won!

What a busy summer....

We have been pretty busy since our last post. This past weekend we went up to Bayfield with Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt Jessie, Uncle Dan and our cousin Lauren. It was pretty fun, here are some pictures from our weekend adventures.....
