4th July Parade

We headed to the Greenfield 4th of July Parade with the kids and Gma Gaumond. We got there a little early, so we had a quick lunch before the fun began.

Our family - love Connor's smile. Jo is checking out the parade coming down the street.

Daddy and Jo

I was shocked, Jo actually reluctantly hugged the Fire Dog. She looked like she was going to cry, but she did it.

Connor, on the other hand, loves characters. He gave him a High Five.

Johanna and I picking up candy. At first Jo was hesitant, however then figured out the benefit.

Connor waving his flag, he got at the parade.

The Milw. Brewer's Sausages

Jo checking out her loot - we got flags, candy galore, and beads. Her bag was overflowing by the end of the parade.

Camping 101

Erin and I decided to take the 4 kids camping, but with a twist. We camped in my dad's yard. Erin and I set up the tent...and it stayed up all night long. hehe Connor checking out the tent. Although he took a tour of the tent, he slept inside with Oma and Opa.

John making sure everything is staked down well.

MN Visit

At the end of June we visited the Gaumonds in MN for Matty's baptism. Johanna loved playing with Caitlin!

Such silly girls

Johanna loves babies! He's getting so big

The Domes

One of the 1st days after school got out, so we went to the Domes. It was a short adventure, but they both liked looking at all the plants.

Connor's 1st sucker

Connor tried his 1st sucker, much earlier than Jo did (the benefits fo being #2). And he loved it.

Mmmm

Such cute little teeth

Father's Day Fun

For Father's Day we invited Gma and Gpa Gaumond and Aunt Christine over dinner. Before dinner we had a little outdoor fun.

Ready, set, slide...

Brewer's Game and Fundraiser Tailgate

On June 23rd we went to a Boy and Girls Club fundraiser tailgate and Brewer's game. They had food, fun for the kids, and a goodie bag for both kids. Much of which Tom and I snacked on. Connor and Bango, from the Bucks. Connor was chasing him down and wanted to see him up close. Jo, on the other hand, ran the other direction.

CW insisting on a sip of beer on a hot, hot day (It was about 90 degrees outside and humid!) On second thought, maybe not too good.

Connor with Bernie Brewer. Hey, nose!

This is how most of our pix look now, the adult smiling, the kids about to cry and looking in the opposite direction.

Jo hung out with Gma and Gpa Gaumond most of the 3 innings we lasted.

Connor was tired, hot, and ready for bed. Thank goodness he had pumpkin bear. We made it 3 innings before it was too much for all.
