Minnesota!

We headed back up to Minnesota this past weekend for a few days and had a wonderful time. To say that Bailey had a great time would be an understatement. She had a BLAST playing with cousins Gracie and Jack Jack, boating, and even hitting the pool. Here are a few pics to recap the trip.

First stop: Great Grandpa Brooks and Grandma Doris's place for lunch!

Next up: THE BOAT!
Captain Bumpa and the Skipper!
Bailey and Mor Mor
Bailey LOVED being on the boat, especially when Daddy made it go "Beep, Beep".

A quick stop at the pool for some swimming and lunch.

"All that activity and I was out cold on the boat ride home."

Fun with Auntie Anna, Gracie, and Jack Jack!

Two of the most adorable girls that I know!

Time to go fishing with Jack Jack and Daddy!

"I'm ready," says Bailey, "I'm even making my fish face.".

Patiently waiting for a bite.

"I caught one!"

"Cousin Jack took the hook off for me."

Time to pick tomatoes and raspberries (Bumpa Berries) with Bumpa.

"Look, I got a big one."

"I'll put it in the box for you, Bumpa."

"These Bumpa Berries sure are good."

Thanks for a wonderful weekend. Hope to see everyone again soon!

Keepin' Cool

It's been pretty warm down here in Arkansas with temperatures hitting the 100's!

We've been keeping cool with a kiddie pool! I've been trying to convince Andy that it would be great to have a really nice underground pool in our own backyard. His response..."Better start working again." No thanks, the kiddie pool and the community pool that we have hit up a few times will work just fine:)

Here is Daddy and Bailey giving it a good cleaning.

Daddy and Mommy have both jumped in on several occasions to keep cool as well.
It's so hot that sometimes we just jump in clothes on and all with a yummy popsicle to beat the heat.

"Meet my new pet, 'liskerd'. I caught him in the pool the other day."

Hope everyone is keeping cool!
