A Baby, Some Play Time, and a Boat Ride

We had some exciting times in August. Our good friends Keith and Angel had their second boy, baby Braylen, we caught up with some old friends at Jake's, and played at the park, and we went boating twice with Luke's parents. The second time we ate at Famous Dave's at Cedar Point. The girls LOVED seeing the roller coasters. I can't wait until they are tall enough to ride them. Luke and I have been together for a little over 8 years, and we haven't made it there to ride the rides at all. One day we'll get there.

Summer Fun

Here's a few miscellaneous shots over the summer. We had Chris's birthday and mine as well in July. Lots of days of playing outside. The girls spent a weekend in West Virginia, and we enjoyed Wooster's Italian Festival downtown on the square...

Chris turned 30 in July, hence the over the hill candle :)

And here is Lexi's tongue


Avery missed out on the ice cream, she was too tired.

Slow Updates...Finally... 4th of July!

We went to Orrville's fair on a separate day instead of the same day as the fireworks. A lot less crowd, and we didn't go into town for fireworks this year since we had Avery. The girls had loads of on the rides. We parked outside of town between Orrville and Burton City on Forrer Road to watch the fireworks from a distance. It was nice not dealing with traffic!


Lexi and Lilly having fun on the cars


Avery not happy with the noise


Luke high in the air with Lexi and Lilly


Look at us being daredevils :)


Hanging out at Grandpa Perkins' house before the fireworks


Boom!


Another boom!
