parks, basketball, water fights and more!

We had fun with our Wilde family as well.  Cameron and Jeremy were able to play their new ocarina's together.  They played all sorts of hymns.  It was so fun to listen to.

 We went to a few parks when we were in town.  We met up with old friends and cousins.  It was so nice to be outside even though it was brutally hot most of the time.

 Jonas and Lincoln had SO much fun together.  They are such good boys.

 Jeremy and his cousin Jonathan.  They've been friends for ages!  Wish we lived closer to him and his beautiful family.

 Baby Jack!  This little boy is such an angel baby.  I am so in love with him.  I seriously would have taken him home if they would have let me.

 Jayne is in love with him too...

 Turns out all the kids are!

 All of the kids at the park...

 And all of the parents of the kids at the park!

 Max turned to Graham and said, "Hey!  Do you want a piggy back ride?!"  So Graham hopped on!

 Grace loved the time with Aunt Valerie.  They took a walk home from the park together.

 Jessica and Lily raced home on their bikes!  I wish I could have joined them!

 Gracie wanted to take Baby Jack home too....  she adores little babies.

 Aunt Bethanie won the prize for playing with the kids the most.  They fought over her every single day.

 We had fun playing Speed in the backyard.  I can't wait to have a basketball hoop in our yard someday...

 It was hot... we ate popsicles.  And Moose bars.  They need those in Ohio.

 Oh my.... we are in trouble when she is a teenager....

 The sandbox was the kids best friend.  Mine... not so much.  I hate sand.

 Lincoln and Jonas' cool trick.

 

 

 It's a Wilde family tradition to have a water fight at Discovery Park every year on the day before the 4th.  We were so happy to be there this year!  Baby Jack even got in on the action...

 My sweet Jayne.... she's harmless, really.

 Peter thought all of this was hilarious.  He spent most of his time in the safe zone with me.

 Jayne and Lily win the award for being the most adorable little duo...

 

 This musical thing kept Jayne and Peter entertained when they were brave enough to go outside of the safe zone.

 Lincoln thought this was incredibly fun... he was drenched by the end of the morning.

 Beautiful Valerie... such a darling first time mom.

 Darling, darling girls!
