Where has summer gone??

Where has summer gone?? I cant believe that we are too the last weekend of summer. We are camping on this beautiful weekend. Thought I would blog while everyone is napping. This has got to the most relaxed camping trip of the summer and I love it. The kids have been playing outside all day, we took a walk around the whole park (and it is large)and are going to a cook out the park is having at 6pm tonight. Afterwards we are going swimming and for ice cream at the dairy queen only walking distance from our campsite. What a wonderful weekend---I will miss summer---fall is my favorite season but it goes so quick. Well I better go outside and sit and enjoy the rest of my piece and quiet--I'm sure everyone will be up soon. I will be sure to add pictures of this trip next week. Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend like we are. Matthew is walking--not very stable but he can go all the way across a room and not fall once. Soon he will be running. We had to put the walker away for good---he climbs out of it.
Sally -- 4th of July weekend in Frankenmuth.
James finally getting the hang of ridding his bike.

Sally's first day of school!!

Sally started pre-school last thursday. Yes I was the crazy mom following her in with the camera. She was so excited to go and if she could go everyday she would. She was the talk of all the mom's with her styling backpack!! Thanks to Grandma Sue for putting her name on it and Nana for buying it for her for her birthday!!! She is so cute. The teachers called her there "cuddle bug"!!!!

Our trip to Mackinaw

The kids loved our trip to Mackinaw. They experienced so many new things and if James would of had his way we would of rode the boat to the island 10 times. Besides going to the island we went the the deer farm and the kids got to feed the deer, we went over the bridge which both kids were amazed with, we rented a drive your own carriage and rode around the island (we got the slowest horse they had), and we just did some plain old sight seeing and shopping. It took us all the whole week after to catch up on our sleep. Below are some pictures from there experience. I thank god everyday that these kids are having a second chance in life and we can let them experience so much.

Matthew's 1st Oreo

Yes he is a mess but he loved the Oreo cookie. We got a good laugh out of him. This weekend he had a dill pickle--he liked it but I was afraid of him choking so he only got to have the juice from the pickle. He doesn't like baby food anymore--he eats big people food all the time. French Fries are his favorite.

Summer Fun

Well it is hard to believe that Summer is almost over and it is time for the kids to go to school. The kids have had a very busy but fun summer. Here are just a few pictures and there will be more to come.
