K&K cottage candids

We had the best summer out at the cottage. I had the whole month of July off and we were beach bums!

Kaleb had a great time in the sandbox that uncle Dan and my uncle Rick built for them down at the beach.


Kaleb and Reece on lookout at the front of the pontoon boat.

Fishing

Jamie bought the kids fishing poles to start them early :-) They were surprisingly good at casting and reeling in "the big one". If you ask them how big the fish was that they caught, they would stretch their arms out as wide as they could and say "this big"...learning young alright!

Finn/Polack game

During one of the festivals in town this summer, Jamie and I played softball in the annual Finn vs. Pollack game. It was a lot of fun!

Riverwalk concert series

Once a month our town had an outdoor concert down at the Riverwalk on the Paint River.

Picture perfect!

There is a brand new playground there too!

Bluemoon & pink icecream

More than a few times this summer we headed downtown for some icecream. Kaleb would ask for "blue icecream" and Kendall would ask for "pink icecream".

Playdate at the cottage

Over the summer, we had a chance to have my girlfriends, plus their kids out to the cottage for some fun in the sun!

Family boat ride up the river

Jamie bought a little aluminium boat and put his portable motor on the back. He just pulls this boat up onto shore so he was able to do a some fishing and we were able to take a few family boat rides up the river. The scenery is gorgeous!

Tried a little bit of fishing

Cute family photos

Goofin' around!

Family boat ride continued

Kendall and Kaleb clearly loved being in the boat!


What a model!

The views are so pretty!

Here is a shot back up to our house from the boat.

Rasberry picking in the front yard

Our yard is covered with rasberry bushes! The kids loved to go out picking (although I think there was more eating than dropping into their cups)!

Blueberry picking

Sarah and I took the kids blueberry picking this summer out by the cottage at Lake Mary. Blueberries are Kaleb's favorite!

Green Bay Zoo

Jamie and I took the kids to the zoo in Green Bay at the beginning of August.


My favorite zoo animal is the giraffe, so I loved that we could feed them crackers!

Choo-choo train at the zoo

The train was a highlight of Kaleb's day!

Dominos with Grandpa

Over the summer Grandpa showed the kids how to line up all of the dominos and knock them down.

Bass Festival - July 2009

Our town has a festival called Bass Festival every summer. The weather was great and the kids enjoyed it very much!

Bass Festival - children's games

Our large group down by the children's games.

April teaching Kendall the bear crawl and the crab walk.


They have running races, penny scramble for the younger ones, three-legged race, sack race for the older kids.

Bass Festival - after the sand

It was a beautiful afternoon to play down by the water.

Things started getting REALLY FUN!

Stylish eyewear!

Over the summer we have sported some interesting eyewear!

Marquette Children's Museum

A group of my friends and our kids went to the Children's museum in Marquette back in April. It was a blast! Here we are fueling up on pizza before the big day!

Walking in

Kaleb could have stayed and watched the trains all day!

Kendall and Drew sliding down a big tongue.

The ride home! All tired out!

Summer '09

So, our last post was in April - time to resurrect the past. Ill start by saying it has been a good and extremely busy summer thus far! The twins are growing up sooo fast it is hard to imagine the difference of size, intellect, life experiences and will power between April and now. So here goes!
