FIRST ICE CREAM!

And she loved it!

Rainy Day Fun

Brody got fingerpaints for his birthday. This sprinkly morning seemed like a good time to try them out. Everything started out great,

but of course, progressed to this!

The clean-up.

Seriously, Grandma?

More pictures?

Happy Father's Day

To the best Daddy, and daddies everywhere!

First Skinned Knees

Brody wiped out in the driveway this morning and skinned both of his knees a bit. He was crying pretty good, but he is also getting used to Grandma having her camera out. When she told him she was going to take a picture of his owie, he stopped crying and said, "Picture two knees, Mamma."

Duck Days - Day 2

Brody, riding the ponies. He named his "Cowboy".

Claire, climbing the wall. They had 4 or 5 big blow-up play things, but we decided Brody was just a bit too little this year. Next year!

Brody getting the turtles ready to race. We didn't win, but Everett's turtle got second place.

Brenley and my cousin Brian's little boy, Brady. He is three months older than she is.

Gus, meeting the goats.

Brody in the corn pit. He had a blast and played there for a long time. The night ended with fireworks at our own private viewing spot on Grandpa Jones' bridge. We didn't get any pictures, but Brody loved them. He was so excited on the way there - not often he gets to go out at 9:30 at night. Can't wait for more fun on the 4th!

Duck Days, Day 1

Duck Days kicked off with the annual parade on Friday night.

Ryan and Brody, waiting for the parade.

Dylan, rocking with the community band.

Part of the crowd at Taid's.

Brenley enjoyed most of the two hour parade with a short nap in the middle.
