a fun package from Michigan

Mardell and Bob sent a fun surprise package in the mail.  The boys are ready for fall!! In case you can't tell...Louis has Alligator slippers and Will has Moose.

Niko and Ryker's birthdays

We went to the great Gymnastics place again this year.  It is always a big hit with Louis.  He loves it.  And now Will loves it too.  The first few years Will just watched and we tried to convince him that it was super fun.  This year he joined in on all of the activities.  I think he said his favorite was the slide. Those pictures are on Doug's phone.  Kim made amazing cakes again this year.  She is a poster mom!

Omaha

We took a long weekend and drove to Omaha for a mini family trip.  We found a little water park that the boys loved.  It was perfect because the day was scorching hot.  We went back to the Children's Museum.  Will didn't remember it from last year but Louis loved it.  We ate burgers and fries and drank shakes at a little diner called The Diner.  We finished off the weekend at the zoo with the other million visitors.  Seriously it felt like the whole city was there with us.  : )

Will is finally wanting to try new things. 

He loved the little roller coaster at the water park.

He rode it three times.

A ride on the train.

Will was the cashier at the grocery store.

 Louis was the pizza chef.

It took some convincing but Will finally climbed through this netting maze.

My young mechanics. 

Will really wanted a picture by the bear.
