Summer Fun

 We are a summer family to be sure.  Nothing starts the summer off right like a trip to the lake - which we were lucky to be able to do over Memorial Day weekend.  Mason spent much of the time fishing, or pretending to fish.  He didn't catch anything of course, but I bet the first thing he'll want to do next time we go is get out his fishing pole.

Mya got to go swimming in the lake for the first time, and really took to the water.  She started off in a little float, but soon she was happy just standing near me.  Her cutest pictures from the weekend were in her little flamingo dress.  Flamingos are certainly the theme at the lake, so our sweet girl fit right in.

The next weekend the kids and I met my parents in Lansing for some fun around the capitol.  We headed first to Potter Park Zoo.  (Our third zoo this year already!)  Mason still doesn't care so much about the animals, but he had fun riding the giraffe statue. 

Mya rode patiently through the zoo in her stroller, but really had a blast at the playground in Potter Park.  She'd just started toddling around - so what do we do?  Put her on the collapsing bridge of course.  It sure doesn't look like she minded!

We definitely consider ourselves lucky to be able to spend time with Nana & Papa and Grandma & Grandpa.  The kids love them so much!
