Jo's 1st time fishing

Opa took Johanna fishing for her 1st time at Indian Lake.  She was a little nervous about the actual fishing (holding the pole, etc.) but liked the worms.

Johanna liked walking back and forth on the pier, except when it moved (since it's a floating pier).

Those fish were tricky!  They kept nibbling away on worms, but we couldn't catch them, not a one.

Opa made a little bench seat for the back of the tractor - so cute!

Picnic

Mid June, we had a picnic date with Daddy for lunch. Munching for lunch

Connor's 1st time going down the slide by himself. Such a big boy!

Visiting the Maloney's

After camping, Johanna, Connor, and I visited Gma and Gpa Maloney.

Playing in the shower

Hula Hoop

Connor trying out the hoop himself.

Wondering why he can't go back outside and play on the stairs.

CW decided to be silly and wear Jo's hat.

Having some lunch with Papa

4th July BBQ

On July 5th we had a BBQ with Aunt Christine, Grandma and Grandpa Gaumond, and the Dzwinel's. Tom resting up before the fun

John, Lily, and Jo splashing Tom. He was soaked by the time they got done with him

Tom's revenge - a bucket of water. John and Lily loved it, Jo wasn't quite sure.

Aunt Chris and Connor

Car Wash - the kids decided to help me clean the toys

I was the foreman, hehe

Jo was great at sparying down the wagon and cars to rinse them off.

Connor cleaning inside the wagon.

Slip-n-slide: Grandpa decided to make the slide into a water slide. Lily went first and flew off the end. Ouch...

Grandma and Chris helped everyone else down since Lily had a rough landing

John however did it all by himself and loved every second of it!

Eating our red, white, and blue dessert. He ate almost a whole piece of cheesecake himself. My little piggy...

Play ball! The cheerleaders (Jo, Lily, and Baba - Erin's Mom) on the stoop were awesome!

Nice catch Erin!

Jo and Poppy (Erin's Dad) playing catch.

Sparkler Fun

I love the face, amazed

Lily's 1st sparkler.

Holding the sparkler by herself. She loved it and was very safe.

Erin and I

The girls giving Tom a hug - so happy together

Kisses too!

The girls also had a performance for everyone on the stoop. Lily asked everyone to sit around and they started singing. It was soooo cute! Love these ladies!!!!

After about 6 boxes of sparklers, there were only 2 sparklers left and 3 kids, so Baba and Poppy got the last 2 (Erin's parents). The kids had fun watching them. Next year I am hoping to take Jo for fireworks, I think she would love them. It just didn't work out this year
