The Unofficial End of Summer

Today was Zane's first day of Kindergarten. I snapped a shot of him just before he got on the bus. He described a little of his day and he had a great time.


Yesterday was our last day of fun before school started. We went over to a friend's pool and my boys had fun playing with Josh & Peter.



We went to Brookfield Zoo a couple weeks ago and here are some pictures from that day.

Biker Boys

Our summer is almost over and school is about to start. Zane will be in Kindergarten! We are so excited!
We have had a lot of funthis summer. Recently we went to Six Flags Great America which also includes Hurricane Harbor water park. We also went to Magic Waters water park in Rockford. The boys loved swimming, playing & water slides. I don't have any pictures of those days though.
Zane also learned how to ride a bike this summer. Below is a picture of him learning and Joe running alongside to help out.



Braden also learned how to ride his tricyle very well this summer.




We're sad to see summer go but we're excited about the start of school!

Renaissance Faire

Yesterday we ventured forth to the Renaissance Faire in Kenosha, WI. We enjoyed it all, especially the delicious food. The kids liked some parts of it but were also bored part of the time. The boys loved the butterfly ride, Zane had to have the pink butterfly.

Braden is fascinated with the elephants.

Missouri Fun

We had a fun week long getaway to Missouri. First we went to my Uncle Bob's lake house & had so much fun swimming off the dock & riding the Sea Doos.

We spent a few days in Kansas City and I got to eat at my favorite restaurant with my best girls!
