This summer has been packed with lots of fun things for us!
Just after school let out Hannah's girl scout troop went on an overnight trip to STL. We took them to the St. Louis Zoo, the Magic House and the finale was going up in the Arch!
The zoo...
At the Magic House....
The famous static ball!!!
(Really bad lighting on this one, so black and white it goes!)
They had this whole exhibit dedicated to Washington DC. This was the oval office!
On the top steps below the Arch!
We went on vacation to the Lake of the Ozarks and spent the rest of the week in Perryville. What made this trip so neat was that Tom got his boat finished in time for us to take it.
Everyone had a great time tubing...
and swimming....
and pretending to race against my Mom and Step-Dad in their boat (we went way faster!)....
And going.....
Parasailing...Yes that is Kasey and our nephew Justin up there...
and spending lots of time in MawMaw's hot tub at the lake house!
I was on this vacation...I took the pics and this is one of the only pics that exist on this trip...and I took it myself!!!
I took our point and shoot camera with me on this trip instead of my SLR. Overall the camera did a good job, but I don't have ANT decent fire work pics on the 4th of July becuase the camera doesn't do low light situations very well. But overall, it was nice to have a small camera handy!
The summer is not over yet and we still have a lot planned!
Next week we are going to see the new Harry Potter movie (probably with the Jaderholms). We are getting a Spfld. Lake sticker for our boat so look for us on the water ........during the week.
Jake and Hannah will each spend a week at Camp, then they will both head off for a week in Ohio with Grandma Mary. Kasey is looking forward to the break with out Jake and Hannah. I think he is wanting his BFF-cousin Justin to come for the week Jake and Hannah are gone.
Plus we still have several weekend trips to Perryville planned.
Whew!!!
This has been a really great summer so far!
yes, it's been a good summer so far with more fun in store!!!
