Starting the Summer

We began our summer by heading to WV to spend a few days with Mimi & PopPop and Aunt Wissa (Melissa), Uncle Andy, and Marshall. We had a great time relaxing and hanging out with everyone. Will played lots of baseball with Daddy and PopPop, Catherine made lots of crafts with Mimi, and we went swimming at the Y almost every afternoon. Anna even loved the swimming! And Anna started really walking while we were there too. Yeah!

On Saturday we headed to Beech Fork lake to eat a picnic and play. Jay rented a canoe and he and Steve took the kids out on the lake. They loved it! "Except for when PopPop almost tipped the canoe over", Catherine said.

We enjoyed lots of hanging out in the yard and enjoying PopPop's "margaritas", which are frozen grape juice.
The kids really loved playing with Marshall, who is already 10 months old--almost 11 months. That's hard to believe! And Marshall tolerated the craziness of our 3 pretty well.
On our last night there, Will fell out of the bed and got his first black eye. Anna also cried for about 1/2 the night. Time for everyone to go home and sleep in their own beds, I guess.
So now we're home and starting to get settled into our summer routine. So far we've started our Book Challenge, made poster collages, gone swimming, and cleaned. We're looking forward to a great summer with lots of play time.
