The Fair and The Beach

In July we went to the Ottawa County Fair....as you can see from the pictures both of the girls had fun! Jackie has always loved the carousel but you should have seen her light up when we asked if she wanted to ride a real horse! It is hard to tell but she is wearing a crown that she won at a game just before the ride....just like a real princess! Grace loved it too! If you asked her if she wanted to go on the rides the answer was always "YEAH!" We walked through the 4-H barns and had fun petting all the animals, especially Sean and Kayley's sheep. Right before Mom and Kelly left for Charleston we all went to the beach....I think everyone in Holland had the same idea because boy was it busy! Jackie had no fear in the water...she went out to the "deep deep water" with Adam and had a riot! She also loved chasing the sea gulls or as she calls them "dirty birds!" Grace was content to eat snacks and stomp down every sandcastle that I tried to make. It sure has been a fun summer!

A Busy Weekend

Saturday my dad, Uncle Gary, cousin Andrea and I went to the afternoon Tiger game. We had a great time even though the Tigers lost. Hopefully they can get a closer before the trade deadline, they need some bullpen help if they are going to make a run at the playoffs! On Sunday we took Jackie and Grace blueberry picking! Jackie had fun in the bounce house and riding the pink cow...Grace LOVED eating the blueberries! We went to Bowerman's, if you haven't been there, you should check it out, great blueberries and lots of stuff for kids to do!

Summer is Here!

Don't these photos just say summer!?! The last few weekends I have spent some time over at the Roger's house playing with the kids on the beach. And boy do they love it down there, who wouldn't, fishing, sand castles, swimming, paddle boat and paddle board ride! And aren't the picture great, Abby took them, thanks Abby, I love them!
