Even though our first summer in Michigan bears more resemblance to the steamy, muggy, rain-free summers we grew accustomed to in St. Louis than the comfortable weather we expected, we've been spending some time outside. We borrowed a tagalong bike for TJ from my aunt and uncle and have been taking family bike rides. He just fits--the seat is as low as it can go. He and Ed took a trial ride.
That was successful, so we started going out as a family. We haven't gone too far yet (20-30 minutes?) but hope to lengthen that bit by bit as the summer goes along.
Slightly random picture...this is how TJ napped one Saturday afternoon.
Popsicles with Rowan one hot evening
The boys going for a wagon ride...the wagon was an early birthday present for Jojo.
The water table: It came highly recommended from my friend Angie, who also has 2 boys and a newborn little girl. She was right--it's a huge hit!
Thomas loves to dump cups full of water on Jojo's head, but he doesn't seem to mind.
Dustin and Abbey drove over from Chicago one weekend, and Kathy met us as well, and we went out on the boat. We started on a bigger, wavier, busier lake, where we drove around, ate lunch, and swam, and then found a little treasure of a lake just 8 miles from our house. At 4 pm on a Saturday, it was deserted. Pretty small, but gloriously smooth skiing water. We love the lakes in Michigan!
Abbey really liked the dip. Apparently veggies were optional.
Daddy and daughter time.

The perfect spot for a nap...under the driver's seat!
First kiss...Dustin must be loosening up--he didn't even get nervous!
