Igloo Boys

What will two boys do when their mom has the kitchen full of coolers b/c the refrigerator died and a new one is on the way? They will build a freezer fort or as I explained to them about an igloo they thought that was an even cooler idea. Of course sometimes you have to take a rest in your fort and have your favorite blankie and just be cozy.

Close Encounters at the Beach

One night after dinner we went down to the local dock of Treasure Island and watch the boats go by and the birds mix it up. It was an action packed half hour.

All within about 30 seconds we almost got into a close encounter with several big birds. Lots of squawking and excitement and then it was over.

Surprisingly, Jack sat quietly as all this happened behind him. Who knows what he was thinking.

Memphis Kiddy Park in OHIO???

We celebrated Gordon and Mary's 40th wedding anniversary with a family gathering at Memphis Kiddy Park in Cleveland, Ohio. Even Aunt Michelle was able to make it and join in doing fun things with the guys. They all had a great time and Will reported later, "I went on Farris Wheel!" This was true though it didn't get much over 16 feet tall, still it did have the swinging buckets.

Beach Trip to Treasure Island

This year for our family vacation we traveled to St. Petersburg's Treasure Island, FL. We had the best vacation ever, especially considering we have a two year old and a three year old. Here are a few shots of their favorite things.

Our view from our room.......ahhhhhhhh

Memorial Day in Florida

The cousins had a good time playing together, particularly in the pool. It didn't matter whether they were in the water or falling out of the water, they were always having fun.

Easter Egg Hunt

This was Will's first official Easter Egg Hunt, unfortunately Jack got sick with a fever and didn't get to participate in this one.
