Vacation week!

We have been on vacation this week and it has been sooo much fun! We didn't have anything planned, which was nice, so we have just been going one day at a time. I totally recommend it! The first few days we spent at Grandpa Ron's cabin near Dubuque. After that we have been hanging out at the pool, the mall and we went to our first movie in a theater - Toy Story 3!
This is a picture of Kennedy and her cousin Austen - he is soooo cute, don't you think?
We ate lunch at a burger place called Durty Gurt's in Galena. It really did have the best burgers - they were HUGE!!!! This is a picture of Kennedy and her new panda, named Panda. We got it stuffed in Galena and she was super content with Panda!

There was a beach at Grandpa Ron's cabin and someone was so nice and put a swingset right there on the beach!

Kennedy LOVED the water. She took right off into it and didn't stop. We had to show her that she couldn't go too far out or she wouldn't be able to touch!










Kennedy is not too much a fan of fireworks this year. We were able to get by with some black snakes and some small morning glorys - but I am nervous with the 4th coming up that we may have to skip the big show! We will of course make the attempt, but may end up coming home early...

Party Time!

Rachael graduated this year and we had sooo much fun at her party. Kennedy got this dress last year (thanks Lisa!) and we were saving it for something super special. She LOVED it, when she saw it she said, "Mom! Is that my princess dress? It's really beautiful!"The double bubble machine was awesome! Thanks to the Countryman's for sharing it:) Kennedy could pop bubbles for hours, and that is not a joke!Opening her denim purse made by Aunt Paula!She, in true Kennedy fashion, opened the purse - wide - and said, "MOM! I need monies!" So I had to go find her some coins. After noticing she was not out playing (I swear, it was only 5 minutes), I went into Rachael's room to find this. Kennedy had crawled into Rachael's bed and crashed. So, the graduation party was last weekend. This weekend was North Liberty Fun Days! WOO HOO! We actually had nice weather for the parade, a little humid, majorly sweaty and LOTS of fun! Kennedy had a great time playing with Addie and Della and her other friends. They played ring around the rosie! AWESOME:) and..... they all fall down!!!!!!!!
