A beautiful Sunday evening on the lake

We had a fun-filled evening with the Schmuckers, Arnolds, and Pogatchniks. It was great to catch up with everyone and enjoy the activities on the lake. Thanks to the Arnolds for hosting!

Adam loves playing in the sand and loves dumping the sand out of his dump truck even more.

Adam and Soren threw corn into the lake to lure in the fish and Matt would catch the fish with the net. Adam was really interested in the fish until they started flopping around on the dock. Adam watched as Aunt Kate touched the fish, but there wasn't any chance he was going to try.

Relaxing by the lake is such a nice way to finish off the weekend.

Hanna's Baptism

We traveled to Cold Spring for Hanna's Baptism. Adam always enjoys seeing his cousins, especially for such a special occasion!

Parade

We caught part of the Pepper Fest parade in North Hudson. Adam was a little bewildered by all of the floats, but definitely enjoyed having endless amounts of candy handed to him.

Summertime Fun

Our neighbors just built a sandbox and invited Adam over to help break it in. They also had set up their sprinkler, two pools, and a water table so the boys went from one thing to another to keep cool. Adam wouldn't go in the pool alone, but he loved kicking his feet while I held him. The very next day at his cousin's Baptism, he wanted to take his shoes off. He kept pointing to the Baptismal font. He was ready to do some more swimming at the church.

Pepper Fest

Today was the kickoff to Pepper Fest in North Hudson. There was a petting zoo, an inflatable bouncer, and treats for the kids. Adam was impressed with his balloon animal (a giraffe), but it didn't take long for him to pop it! We're hoping to check out more activities this weekend.

On the mend

Adam was running a fever for a few days and then started an antibiotic for an ear infection. After two days on the antibiotics, he was still pretty miserable and we ended up in the ER in the middle of the night. Aunt Amy stopped over for a visit and got some smiles out of him. We're so happy he is feeling better.

Alexandria

We traveled to Alexandria to see our friends visiting from Australia. We celebrated their daughter Jaisa's 2nd birthday and got to meet their son Tyler for the first time. The weather was a little cool to enjoy any activities on the lake, but there were lots of fun toys that kept the kids occupied.
