HopeKids and other summer fun!

Last Friday we had a charity event for HopeKids out at the island. 
We were waiting to pick up the kids for the event and Eric was killing time doing some surfing on the boat.
The fireboat came out, so kids could shoot the water cannon.
We saw a couple beautiful sailboat races on the lake that day.  The sails were beautiful!
Saturday we tied up with some friends on the sandy side of Big Island!  (photo bomber Eric)
The kids had a great time in the water!
We have a lot of flooding on the lake and our dock has floating sections.  We have to take the kids in the wagon, because it is difficult to walk.  They say it might be August before lake levels are back to normal.  Hoping our dock is back to normal soon!
Sunday we headed up to Barb and Spence's for a summer picnic!  Dave and Danielle and the girls are up from Florida and it was great to see everyone! I got the kids these matching shirts!
My Mom picked up these shirts for the kids, so they had to do a wardrobe change:-)
Family picture June 2014!
Wednesday is Family night at our local restaurant called Scotty B's!  The boys got their faces painted!
We got home and the boys had to do some biking with Sabrina! 
He's getting good with two wheels!

Sunday swim and drive back to MN

Last Sunday the boys got some time to swim before we checked out of the hotel. We got to see Megan after her graduation and then had a long drive back to MN. The kids ran around at the rest stop to burn off some energy and found it necessary to dig in the dirt. They played on the iPad and watched movies to pass the time. Eric and I passed the time counting dead deer and various animals on the side of the road in Wisconsin where they never pick up dead animals. Gross!

Saturday in Chicago

Last Saturday we spent some time at Navy Pier and then to Rosemont to celebrate Eric's cousin Megan's graduation from DePaul University. Her dog Ginger was at the party too!
