Welcome Summer/Memorial Day Weekend

 Summer is here! 
This weekend of course was our official kick-off to the season. 
We are new to the lakes area but it was very surprising to see the changes in the area with the arrival of Memorial Day Weekend: traffic, people, and so much to do!
We got to open our birthday presents from Papa and Grammy a little early, and had our first visit of the season to Arnold's Park. 
Marie and Bennett love it of course and are enjoying trying out all the rides, and even Brooks has a taste for the thrill rides - he loves to drive the boats the best!


The temperature is rising and we are already indulging in the ice cream truck and sweet treats from the area shops.

 A rainy morning allowed us time to visit the nature center. The kids love exploring inside and outside. We even got to watch the big osprey leave the nest today!



 Even though the water was chilly, we enjoyed our first swim in the lake, tube ride, and battle on the paradise pad.



 Brooks is exploring more and more and he is still trying to decide if he likes the sand or not.

 Uncle Nate came to visit and he read everyone a story to wrap up our busy days!
 
These kiddos are so sweet and I love their adventurous sides. 
Living at the lakes has been so much fun this past year..we are anxious for what this summer brings!
