Anybody Out There?

I typically hate these random, covers-several-weeks type of posts, but that's all I got.  And it's better than nothing.

Frank's birthday was a few weeks ago, and we celebrated in true Frank style with a cookie cake!

Later that day, we took a ride on The Spirit of Peoria.

Up close, the paddlewheel is very cool but very loud.  The spray from the wheel was a bonus!

At the end of the school year, Jacob's teacher gave him bags and bags of used and unused materials. He thinks he is the coolest teacher around, complete with his (fake) glasses.

We kicked off the summer by spending Memorial Day Weekend at Grandma and Grandpa's house. The weather was just perfect for lots of fun outdoor activities such as feeding the squirrels...

 Swimming...

 Playing with our cousins,..

Making s'mores...

and going out to celebrate our May and June birthday boys.

We are ready for summer!
