Frozen camp at Emerald City

It is not easy finding many summer camps for Sabine and Lourdes that work around their gymnastics schedule of 3 hours a day Monday through Friday.  But we found a half day Frozen acting camp that the girls loved.  And they even had two friends from their class in camp with them.  



Presentation for the parents

Super cute!

Camping at the Indiana Dunes

We planned a camping trip at the Indiana dunes state park with two Alphonsus families.  We had a blast.  We got there late afternoon on Saturday so we were just going to check out the beach.  The kids didn't adhere to that message and all of them were soaked but happy within an hour.  


Swimming with their buddy Grayson

Then it was back to the camp fire for hot dogs, salad and, of course, smores.



Girls tent!

Twin love!

After a quick breakfast on Sunday, it was back to the beach to explore the dunes.  The kids had an absolute blast.  Lourdes and Sabine are in their gymnastics uniforms because mom forgot a bathing suit.  But, hey, it worked.

Ben and all the girls.  Lucky man!

Sliding down the dunes is fun

June happenings

Finn was invited to an indoor skydiving birthday party.  This looked so sweet, mom and dad had to try it out a few weeks later.  

Our boy successfully completed second grade

And we celebrated by going to Montrose beach with his class.  Kids had a blast!

The girls loved science camp.  Here they are getting their STEM on!

And the whole family took in The Sound of Music.  Loved!

Memorial Day in Ohio

Fun Memorial Day weekend in Chicago started off by hitting the Bexley pool with grandma and the cousins. 

Followed by ice cream cake for the recent birthdays!



Then a wonderful fishing trip to Grandma Laser's house with Papa and Gigi.  The fish were biting and the kids had a blast.  




Love this picture of the kids with Laser!

Delicious cookout at Michelle and Greg's house.


My first attempt at a panoramic shot.
  
Finished off the trip by taking turns on Molly's tree swing.  This thing can go so high!
