Summer Fun

This summer was just so fun. It felt like the kids' ages were just right for a fun time as a family - not too old and not too young. It also felt like we did so much and just really soaked it all in. There was a fair amount of sibling battles while at home, but we got into a grove being all together and really enjoyed the long, leisurely days.

we rode the Conner Prairie tethered balloon. It was freezing and windy, so I found it pretty spooky.

Camden reading books to everyone at Conner Prairie. Awww.

Chris turned 40! I totally forgot to take any photos during his party, but here are a few of the foods. It was "Friends" themed so all the food was related to foods from the TV series.

this summer we had a couple free trials at martial arts places. We plan to start up with family Karate in the winter since the kids all enjoyed it.

Our niece, Cece, was Nemo in Finding Nemo Jr. Savannah missed her show but had  her over to swim the next day. They also matched.
