Squeezing in our last Summer Fun!

As Gini would say...
WARNING! LOTS OF PICTURES AHEAD!

Well, today is Monday and school starts for Gabe on Thursday so we are trying to squeeze in every last bit of Summer outdoors fun. I am NOT looking forward to hibernating in the house again this winter. Summer always goes too fast.

Gabe is getting so grown up. He is a fun little companion to have around. He is also like a little sponge absorbing everything - for good and bad. We watched The Lion King for the first time last night (movie time in my bed with popcorn while dad was at work.) Caleb just danced at the songs and lost interest halfway through. But Gabe was like, totally engrossed in it. It's a pretty intense movie for a 4-year-old. I had to explain death, heaven, love, envy, murder, and the tradition of royal succession all because of that movie! Maybe we'll stick to Thomas the Tank Engine for a while instead.... he's just growing up too fast!

Caleb is the typical 2-year-old. He is so much fun one second, then screaming on the floor in Wal-mart the next. Gotta love it. He wants to do everything himself. His favorite thing to say is, "NO! I DO IT!" He has learned a lot of words just in the past month. He's starting to put together little three word sentences like that. He said, "I like peaches," the other day and my mom was like, "What!? He's talking! He said I like peaches!" So, it'll be nice to understand him more now - thus making his tantrums hopefully less frequent. Oh he also goes, "PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEEEEAAASE!" After I say no to something. It worked the first couple times because it was so cute, but now it's less effective. So, that is the update on the boys.

Here are some pictures of us at another Wisconsin Dells waterpark called The Polynesian that my mom took us to with Rachel and Jasmine over the weekend. It was really fun. I wish we could've stayed longer. We also did a "duck ride" - they're these boats that go on land and water that they used to use during WW2. There's also some pictures of my grandpa taking the boys for rides on his electric scooter (don't I have an awesome grandpa? How many grandpa's have electric scooters and are NOT handicapped - i.e. just have them for fun?) and Caleb and Gabe playing soccer and riding rides at Lakeside park.

Can you handle all these pictures?!
