Miniature Golfing!!

The girls worked really hard this summer reading books for the Summer Reading Program at the library. Their reward for this was to go golfing. They were so excited for this and just couldn't wait to go!! Madie and Aly both did really well. Bradley was so funny! He just carried his ball around and whenever anyone hit their ball, he would run and go pick it up for them. He was worried that we might lose our balls! He is such a funny boy!

Playing in the Rain

Madie and Aly just got these new Rain Coats the other day! They were so excited when the next day it rained. They begged me to play out in the rain and I just couldn't refuse. I didn't let them stay out long though, which they weren't too happy about.

Pioneer Day Celebration!

We had a picnic at our church for the July 24th celebration! We had a great time! We had a water balloon toss (well with ziploc baggies). The kids had a great time. They loved spending time with thier Dad. They had missed him this last week while we were gone.

Other fun things we did!

Chicago

We took a train ride to Chicago!! The kids loved it! We made the long walk to the American Girl Store. It was insane!!! There were so many people in this store buying dolls and taking them to the Doll Hair Salon to get their hair done. You can even buy a matching outfit for yourself and your doll!! We had a nice picnic in the park and then took a couple of trolleys to the Navy Pier where we went to the Children's Museum. The kids had a blast and were very tired by the end of the day!

Our Trip to Illinois

Me and the kids took a drive to visit my sister Tanya in Bourbonnais, Illinios. Nathan had to work, so I decided I would make the drive on my own. It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. It took me about 8 hours to get there and about 9 hours to get home. We had to make a few more stops on the way home!! We stayed for a week and had a great time!
