Spring break and Safari Joe's

Summer Recap: August

It was long past time for us to update our living room furniture.  The recliner we had was a hand me down from my grandpa and our sectional was sinking on one side and not real comfortable anymore.  Matt and I went furniture shopping on our anniversary date and found this couch, loveseat, recliner, coffee table, and 2 end tables at Art Van Furniture in Mishawaka.  So far, we LOVE it!  Everything reclines and is really comfy.  It's quite a bit larger than our other furniture, but everything fits! 😁

The first weekend of August, we finally found a summer date to go camping with the Davis family.  We had wanted to go to Warren Dunes and camp there, but a few weeks before, there were 0 campsites.  Actually there were 0 campsites anywhere near Lake Michigan for that weekend.  So, we ended up in France Park in Logansport.  It is by a quarry so the water was beautifully clear and nice.  There were bike trails, a waterfall, disc golf, and a lot for the kids to do.  The campsites themselves were really small.  We ended up in a different spot than we reserved which was bigger and closer to the beach.  We realized on this trip that our water tank is really small (after I was halfway through a shower and ran out of water!).

Soccer season ended just as school was about to start.  Landon and Emmy played on the same team as last year and had a great time.  Landon scored several goals and Emmy tried her hand at being goalie. ⚽

Go #9 and #10! 

I usually take my own sports pictures of the kids because they are so expensive so on the last night, I had Emmy take photos while Landon was finishing supper (he's the last one EVERY night!).  I thought, no problem, I'll just take Landon's pictures when we get home.

Unfortunately, our game was cut short with this rainy weather and the only picture I got of Landon was...

in the garage!

This sweet boy turned 3 on August 13th.  It was a beautiful day and great for swimming in the pond!

Caleb loves the Disney show "Lion Guard"!

Happy birthday to this sweet, smart, inquisitive boy!

Summer recap:July lake vacation

We spent a week at the beginning of July at a lake house in Michigan with the Bergers and Clarks.  The lake is absolutely beautiful and there weren't enough rooms in the house so we got to sleep in our RV in the driveway.

The boys had fun playing ball.

We took a lot of pontoon rides.

Caleb loved fishing with Uncle Matt.

Landon enjoyed playing Monopoly Deal.

Landon got a frisbee stuck on the roof so Kristina climbed up and saved it!

Emmy loved paddleboarding!

Landon did much better paddleboarding this year versus last!

Brooklyn wasn't too excited about the deep water.

Happy 4th of July!

We had a great week just hanging out at the lake!
