Pow...Pow...Powerwheels

Take a look at our new cars!
Notice that we are riding in our backyard, rather than on the street. (If you know our mom, you're not surprised! ;)




Maryn was at the cabin with Grammy and Poppa while we were testing out our new wheels.
She got to have a special day alone.
On Friday, our family took a field trip to the zoo with Grammie and Poppa. Mommy learned an important lesson that day. We went into the goat cage to get a close look. Mommy brought goat treats in, thinking it would be great for us to get a close look at our furry friends. WRONG! Turns out goats attack for treats. Lesson learned: Feed goats from the OUTSIDE of their cage. hee, hee

Relaxin' at Sugar Lake

Hi there! Hope you are enjoying your summer as much as we are.
We are at Sugar Lake livin' the easy life.
No pants required:


We've learned lots about Sugar Lake. We overheard mom saying that daddy and his cousins used to have big parties there...and something about kids dancing on tables. Sounded kinda fun! Boogie Woogie!


Daddy said that if he caught us dancing on the table with our friends, we'd be in the dog house. Just so that we know what we're in for, Brynn decided to try it out. Not too bad. Kinda fun, actually!

We're spending lots of time playing in the sand...building castles with moats, raking up lake weed, and just having a ball!








We got to spend a lot of time relaxing too. For the beginning of our week we had strep throat AND probably a virus too. We had temperatures that were between 103 and 104 degrees. Not fun! At least we were in a good place to take it easy with the people we love.



We got to spend lots of time with our Auntie. Did you know that Auntie Lauren is mommy's sister? Sisters RULE!

So do cousins!

We can't wait until we get older and can go tubing like mommy. Daddy pulled us around the yard in a tube, but he said we're not big enough to go in the water yet. Soon!

We did get to do lots of boating, though!




A great time is being had by all!



Happy Summer!
Love,
Maryn, Brynn and Leah

A "Few" Pictures from the 4th

Wow! What a weekend! Fireworks, rides, a parade, a carnival, even cupcakes and mini donuts! We're exhausted, and are about to head to bed, but we wanted to show you a few pictures before we crawl in.

Hope you had a great celebration too!
Love,
Maryn, Brynn and Leah
