Camping preview...

Here are just a few from camping. I'll post more later. These are some of my favorites.

Crazy hair day

Karis had just woke up from her nap one day when, I saw this awesome hairdo she was sporting. Her hair is getting longer these days and it is getting curly too. I had hoped that she would have some curl in her hair; since both Vance and I have some natural curl. Well, sure enough, she definitely got her share of curls.

My very own berry picker

YUM-O...
AND THE BEST PART IS EATING THEM!!
(These pictures were taken on 8/1/08, so the blueberries are long gone now, but it sure is nice to have a freezer full for blueberry pancakes on Saturday mornings.)

Fun at Bush Park

At the end of July, we meet at Bush Park to have the kids' (all 10 of them) picture taken. That was no easy task for Alysun (our friend Andrea's sister of Paradise Photograph) but she pulled it off. What is up with my font anyway? I can't seem to get it to stop underlining everything and I haven't the time to figure it out right now.

Karis on the 4th

We didn't participate in the parade this year, but Karis got to watch the parade. Even though most of the kids in the neighborhood are in the parade, they still like to throw candy. She came home with quite a handful of sweets. We let her try a sucker, wow was that a sticky mess?

Catch up

And so, I begin the daunting task up updating my blog posts. I'm so far behind, I'm not really sure where to being. I guess date-order would be good. Here I begin with some more pictures of our Milwaukee trip with the Rowles.


Here we are in the same park as the "Jazz in the Park" night watching a chef cook-off. The food looked really great. It definitely made for great advertisement for each restaurant that was represented.




The food at the public market was so wonderful, we easily went for a dinner in the condo versus going out to eat at a restaurant.


Here are some various buildings and structures from Milwaukee. I couldn't tell you what they are, I just thought they were neat.





One of our last activities was renting Segways. We rode them all along the waterfront. It was one of my favorite things we did on the trip.
