Here we go...

Soccer. Still on the fence about this. 3 days a week for 7 & 8 yr. old's, Sunday games....gimme a break.


But she seems to be having fun. I hope just enough to want to go and do well, but not enough to return. She told me that next year she will do basketball. what?

The kids had no school on Friday. We used their coupons to go bowling that they earned from the library summer reading program.

This is before bowling. Someone would rather just get to it than have his picture taken.



But that someone won the game. (He did use the ramp)


I could not get over his bowling shoes!



That evening we used the tickets they earned and went to Dutch Wonderland. J and Dennis had gone a couple years ago, but it was a first for the rest of us. Truly a fun family outing. Though I don't know if V will ever trust me again after putting him on some of those rides. Also, my daughter is so brave, she went on the "big" roller coaster with me :)




Saturday afternoon was a birthday party for my nephews who turned 10 & 12. Such a beautiful day. Here is an attempt at all of them w/ their Great Grandparents Krantz.


Did I mention it was a beautiful day?
