I think we pack to much for the walk...

Finally at the top, now down the stair to the beach!
My girls..

If you look closely you can see Chicago.

McKensie loved the sand...

Craig (and I) loved the beach....

all the girls loved the waves!!! (wishing it was the ocean!!!)

I took the camera away :(

She cried until she feel asleep under the table at GG's house.

She is sleeping!!!

McKensie's photos

McKensie asked to take pictures, I said okay these are the pictures she took. I think she has a good eye.

Grandma's lady statue ?

the dog, I love this I don't think that I could have captured Penny licking her chops :)

July 4th

For the 4th we went to the Kerkhoff's for some fun fireworks.

Rain! who invited it to join us?

The kids had a great time. Loretta enjoyed getting wet with the kids lighting fireworks. Craig and I stayed back and protected her garage from any firework that tried to venture in :) (other words stayed dried!)
