The Bribe!

A little bribery never hurts! After taking the family pictures, we (or should I say the kids, and the dads) went swimming! We all enjoyed watching them splash, and play together!

Picture Perfect

We also tried to get a good cousin pic this week. This is always an adventure, but they did a great job this year.

The 3 girly girls

The 3 muscle "men" :)

The Wisconsin cousins are in town this week! The girls have enjoyed spending time with everyone this week! On Wednesday we went to the Kalamazoo Valley Museum. They have a castle exhibit there this summer, which was pretty cool.

The Royal Feast! :)

Maddie and Uncle Jason!

Fruits...or Veggies..of our labor

Last week we picked our first veggies of the season. Emma was excited to try the squash and zucchini! Maddie on the other hand... well her face says it all! :)

Since this picture, we have picked at least one zucchini every day, and a few cucumbers! We're pretty proud of our selves! :)

Humming Birds...Up close!!!!

Last week we went to a really cool restaurant with my family. I'm awful...I can't remember the name of it, or what city it was in (somewhere near Mendon???), but it was a lot of fun! Each window had at least two Humming Bird feeders at it, and they were constantly full of Humming Birds. It was the neatest thing!!! We have a feeder in our backyard, but the birds don't hang around long enough to get a good look! Here we were able to eat and see them up close. The girls thought this was so cool, and so did I! :)

Unusually BIG Humming birds...

We offered to give Rob $5 to do this at one of the feeders at the window, but he wanted double or nothing...so we backed out! But it would have been hilarious! :)
