Lots of Fun, Not A Lot of Pictures

Summer is almost over (Nolan starts school in a couple of weeks) and we have been busy.  I just haven't documented a lot of it unfortunately.  Our days have been filled with trips to the zoo, pool, and parks.  Playing with friends, getting ice cream, and making trips up to Cleveland to meet new friends.  The kids are having a great summer and it has been nice to easily move from one activity to the next now that they are a little bit older.

Golf cart rides are the highlight of our visits with grandpa!

 So happy we were able to squeeze in a visit with Julie Anne and meet baby Mavis on their return home from Japan.  She is the sweetest baby and the kids loved holding her and coloring pictures for her.

 Fourth of July at Wedgewood.  It did not disappoint.  Lots of food, good music, things for the kids to do and a really good fireworks display!

 The balloon artist on the 4th was amazing!  Nolan ordered this enormous sword and holster.  He was a really detail oriented guy which made for wonderful balloons but a REALLY long line.  We waited 45 minutes for this balloon!

 Best buds, Quinn and Reese.

 We take Nolan to tutoring each Tuesday morning so Quinn and I hit the craft table and she is content to sit and complete each new activity every week.

 Meeting Megan's baby girl, Nora.  She was born a little bit early and super tiny and cute!

We said "goodbye" to my Jeep since my lease was up.  We moved into a Tahoe that I really love and the kids are very excited about as well.

 Pit stop on a family walk/bike ride to jump the fence and take a pic.

 Nolan participated in Safety Camp this summer and it was probably the best 4 days of his life.  He really loved learning about the police, bike safety, gas safety, and fire safety.  The day he visited the fire station he sprayed the hose and got a band aid in the ambulance.  He didn't stop talking about it for days on end.

 The animal show at the zoo still hasn't changed but is just as intriguing.

The dinosaurs are back this summer so we made sure to check them out.  Nolan loves this little boat ride.
