 I can dunk this in here!?

 She at 4 cookies this way and drank a whole cup of milk which she never drinks!

I do so like it when they play nicely together.

Hats

Josh does Science

I was looking for something new at the teachers store to catch Josh's interest, and this science kit caught my eye.  some of the "experiments" were too basic and some of the safety steps were a bit too cautious, but we forged on.  

 Volcano

Unfortunately, my camera died before I could catch the explosion, but I'm pretty sure he thought it was cool because he wanted to do show it to his babysitter the next time she came over.

Swingset

Special Thanks to all the grandparents and many aunts and uncles for their donations to this new fun toy!

Summer Nights

playing together

First strawberries, delicious.  We finally fenced them in so we weren't "sharing" with the squirrels 

Sara and Brett over to thank them for Brett helping to build the swing set

 Smores for Dessert!

Pirates Cove

Neighboring Elk Grove Village Park District has a child sized theme park...I've heard about it several times, but finally made it to the park.

Caitlyn's fist independent merry go round ride.

Riding the Train

Ringing the bell

waiting for the paddle boats

See Josh in the middle with the tan hat?

At this point, I think Caitlyn was so tired...though she probably would have wanted to do it too!

Josh Photos

Josh has an old camera we let him use and usually the shots are of blurry houses as we are driving.  This day apparently, he decided to bring the camera instead and ham it up!
