Kicking Off Summer

We had the BEST weekend! Super busy but super fun! Saturday we took the kids and Diogy to Funks Grove and did a bit of nature walking. The kids enjoyed the "Imagination area" where there was a tree house, a zip line, a creek, and a "horse" to swing on (that sadly I was too big for).
Here's Deen crossing the creek ever so carefully...

...and zipping across the zip line...

The guys (and Diogy)...

The gals...

Sunday we went to Glasener Beach to splash around and Comlara park where we rented a row boat to do some fishing. The kids loved the beach. My fearless Lana took right on off as soon as she saw the water (even before we could get a swimsuit on her). Both kids had a great time! And we didn't catch any fish but we did catch some rays...especially Neil's back (ouch!).

Beach babes...


If Lana would talk it would be something like this, "I want my hat back."

In between we spent a lot of time on our deck, cooking out, and watching the kids play in the yard. Lana tries her hardest to be grown up and do everything her bro, Landen, does including swinging like a big girl. I got some pretty funny video of her swinging while very sleepy and trying really hard not to laugh....

Yumm...fresh mulberries...
