We do love him...but this we could do without

This is the reason my mother told me that babies are supposed to smell nice...not like rotten milk. This was right after feeding William.

Trip to OH

Henry on the zip line.

Today we were in 3 different states--PA, OH, WV. We went to a friend's house in Ohio. She lives about 2 hours away, so it was our first roadtrip of the summer. The kids thought the huge backyard with tree house, zip line and trampoline was awesome. Thanks Trish...for letting us come, and not making me eat the burgers you made for lunch.

Children's theatre

Yesterday we went to an outdoor showing of the Pied Piper. We went with a couple other families from church and had a picnic dinner. It wasn't Broadway, but it was fun (and more importantly it wasn't too long.) The kids really enjoyed it (except William) and the boys got autographs from the characters afterwards.

William wasn't too impressed.

Fourth of July

Saturday we spent most of the day playing, but we went to the Bishop's house for a potluck dinner. His huge backyard has a perfect view of the township fireworks too. It was all fun and games until Samuel got poked in the eye with a stick. Oh, well. It was still fun. William loved the fireworks, Sadie...not so much. I love fireworks too. I have been lucky enough to see some really memorable fireworks. I can remember watching fireworks by the St. Louis arch when I was younger. We also saw the fireworks in NYC in 1986 when the Statue of Liberty was unveiled after being refurbished. I still remember spending the day in the sand and drinking orange soda. I also love the fireworks at Disney, Stone Mtn, GA, and the Gasparilla parade in Tampa.

Carnegie Science Center

Last Thursday we went to the Science Center with two other families from church. It was fun and we stayed for about 5 hours, but it was super crowded. Samuel had a "poke" in his shoe so this is how he walked around....

Until he got wet playing in the water when we ate lunch outside. Then he just went barefoot.
