More fun on the carousel--we will miss this!

Even Uncle Joe got a taste of the carousel.
The boys at The Great Escape
Grannie and PaPa even enjoyed some of the rides

Chloe enjoyed eating more than picking.

Big Truck Day in town. . .it was the weekend that Uncle Joe decided to visit. . .how exciting to see school buses, fire trucks, etc.
They can hardly wait to ride the school bus--we will remind them of this when they are teenagers.
Driving the big trucks

Well. . it has been a long time. We have a little catching up to do! This summer has been filled with fun trips and great visitors. We are getting ready for a big move and can hardly wait.

Chloe on the plane to Kansas City for the family reunion. . .never knew planes could be so exciting.
After Kansas we headed to Texas to visit the cousins. . as you can see it was a bit of a mad house! This is what it will be like for the next few months until we find a house!
Back home with "Uncle Bryan". . .
