Summer Recap!

Well, we have had one busy, fun summer! It's been quite a white since my last post, so let me give an overview of some of the fun we've had!

Fourth of July
Grandma and Grandpa Pavelka, Grandma and Grandpa Forst, and Aunt Mimi came over for a day of fun! We grilled, set up the sprinkler and kiddie pool, and enjoyed the day!





Family Vacation!
We took our first family vacation together to Wisconsin. We had a blast! We spent the first three nights in the North Woods, visiting Uncle Wayne and Aunt Lou with the Pavelka clan. Then the three of us spent three more nights in Milwaukee, visiting the Children's Museum, the Zoo, and swimming in the hotel pool!
North Woods:

The whole group!
The kids! Taylor, Ryan, Mark, and Haley

Taylor and Haley on the boat! (it was nearly impossible to get them both to look at the same time! )

Taking a ride!

Milwaukee:

Driving through the pretend drive through at the Children's Museum!

I love the Children's Museum!
We spent a lot of time on the slide at the Children's Museum!



Petting the goats at the Milwaukee Zoo
Getting up close to some butterflies at the zoo's butterfly house!

Taylor's favorite part of the zoo... the bee stand! She still talks about it, 3 weeks later!!

Random Summer Picture:
I had to share this one, because I love her expression!

Big Girl Bed:

Her first night in her big girl bed (Aug. 4th) was very exciting! She couldn't even wait to put her pajamas on!

Like I said, it's really been a wonderful summer. We still have 2 weeks left, but it is going by fast. Our little girl is growing up - we can't believe she is in a bed already! She's been doing well though: her first night, she got up once, but overall night time has been a breeze. Naps have been a little tricky, but we think she is getting the hang of it!

I hope everyone else enjoys the rest of their summer!
