The rest of August….

I continue to be a blogging slacker.  I thought I would catch you up on the rest of August….

A few weeks ago, we had a fun little playdate with the Scolaro boys.  Brooklyn was more than happy to get dirty with them outside.  Aaron and Mitchell were very gracious hosts.  Thanks for a great afternoon boys!  Brooklyn enjoyed her first popsicle and playing with the sidewalk chalk!

That same weekend, Brooklyn got her first taste of camping.  Darren and I camped out at Fort Custer in Battle Creek for a couple of nights.  Brooklyn came out to visit us during the morning for a bike trailer ride with her daddy and then in the evening for a family dinner, but she slept comfortably at night at her Nana’s house.  It worked out perfectly!  She loved her camp time!

What do you like to do with your pasta!!  We like to play with ours before we eat it!

And finally, this past weekend we went up north with our dear friends, the Walkenhorsts and the Harrisons.   We had intended on going to a little county fair, but it rained all day Saturday, so we were stuck inside for the day.  I was bummed we didn’t get to go to the fair, but the kids didn’t seem to mind.  Brooklyn made good use of the couch arm cover. :)

  August 09 078 Here are couple of my favorite pictures we took just before we left.  Wouldn’t you know that today’s weather would be perfect!
