More summer adventures

 What do you get when you grab your mama tribe and all their kids and you pack your whole house into your husband's truck????
Answer: an insanely fun camping trip that I will do again and again and again. 
One evening during a loooong mama's night out dinner we got this plan and we pulled through.  
 We cooked dinner, kayaked, paddle boarded, had epic smores, told ghost stories, and slept in tents with an amazing fire.  Each husband checked in once during the evening and let's face it, they were jealous and surprised it was going so well!
I will remember this trip forever...I hope the kids do too!
 We also welcomed Chris' new wife Amanda and her daughter Delaney into our family.  
They got married on a beautiful morning in July on the boat in the middle of Miller's Bay. 
It was gorgeous.

We also headed to Minnesota for a Twins game, world's largest candy store, and a walk around the sculpture garden. 

 The Twins had a great game, we had beautiful weather, and we even me the organ player!

DC

We all took a trip this summer out to DC so Andy could take a course and we could enjoy the city again and see Greg and Katie.  

Uncle Nathan tagged along thankfully to help with the kiddos.  
We hit as many monuments and museums as we could and the kids never complained. 
 


One of the highlights was visiting 2 air and space museums. Bennett loves space and so this was especially great for him.

 Marie got to spend some time alone in the city with Greg and Katie for her birthday.  


 Brooks loved the Museum of Natural History and took special interest in the moving walkways at the airport!
