Summer Fun

We took some time off from blogging and have to catch y'all up on our Summer. Let's kick this post off with a shout out to Peter, our good buddy from across the alley.

Lu-lu Mae

Our Summer project (which we finished yesterday, more pictures of that later).

Horses and posts, what more could we ask for?!

This summer, our Grandpa Art and Dot-Dot turned 80! That kind of birthday deserves a big party. We drove all the way to Menomonee Falls for this gala.

They even had a pinata, we picked up lots of candy.....
Lucy, Marigny

And some crazy lady put that pinata on her head.

Three words.....NAKED MOTORCYCLE TIME!

Then we hopped a plane to Boston. Caught a bus, rented a car and took a little drive out to Concord to see more relations.

Nana read us lots of stories.....

Our favorite part had to be the tidal pools.

Alas, our beach day had to end....

Uncle Jonathan may have missed beach day but he was there to read to us....
Marigny, Uncle J, Lucy

And to teach us how to listen to his I Pod.

Did you know we have cousins out in MA? Well, we do, and two of them are twinkies, just like us.
Marigny, Lucy, Daniel, Rebecca, Elizabeth

The Massachusetts-mind-meld.

We had another party in Concord, this time to celebrate Mama and Dada's anniversary, Gigi and Grampsi's anniversary, our birthday, and Dada's birthday. That called for balloons!
Lucy

The balloons kept escaping...

Way up to the ceiling.

We checked out another beach on our trip, this one was a lot smaller.

Thank you Grampsi and Gigi for such a nice visit to Concord!After an afternoon of travel, poof, we were back in Wisconsin. Our Great-Great-Uncle Roberto was visiting from San Diego. Our Great-Great-Aunt Sophie made some delicious enchiladas for all of us. Actually, we fell asleep before dinner was done but Mama and Dada said they were the best.

Summer is almost over but we have a birthday to celebrate first. Hugs and kisses to you all and keep en eye out for us. You never know, we might show up at your house next..... if we ever figure out how to start this darn thing.
