Vacation 2010: Activities & Adventures

WARNING: Lots of pictures and stories -- may be nauseating to casual blog readers:-)


We enjoyed many activities and adventures with Gma & Gpa -- even though we didn't go very far.


The basement was a fun place to play toys, practice Zumba, & throw balls.

Outdoor picnics with watermelon- ummmmmm!!!

THE POOL -- even though the water was cold, it was a big hit!

Tuckered out!

Playing in the front means hula hoops (4 at a time), balls, trikes/bikes, and more!

Hot dog roast & S'mores is a family favorite (my kids have come to expect this!)

Dress-up time was fun for Anika & Ali:

We were even able to enjoy a few of Ian's baseball games. Andrew was enthralled by his cousin. It was fun to watch him watch the "big boys". Ian's team was the Cubs so it was natural to cheer for them:-)

Someday. . .

Andrew admires Ian's prowess:

Watching & learning:

I asked Andrew if he would like to play someday and be in the dugout and get a uniform and helmet and cleats and. . . "yea," he said reverently, "and a snack and a drink." He was delighted when Ian passed him some cheese crackers and the rest of his sports drink.
