Today-Strawberry Picking!

















Today Kari and I packed up the five kids into her minivan and headed out for lunch, a little run around Apple Holler and then Strawberry picking. Needless to say I am exhausted and the kids are already bored.
Abigail and Tris found the most strawberries and had a great time, while Lillian and Elise ran around the field and as we all know Jack ate his way though the field:) They were all really good and we all enjoyed being outside.
Our summer so far has been filled with many adventures, which I always share with all of you. I hope your summer has been as fun as ours.





Park and Bike Ride




The kids and I have been taking a bike ride almost everyday, we ride from our house to the park and sometimes we even just ride the trail. The girls are getting really good at riding their bikes, I would like to teach Abigail how to ride without training wheels!
Jack just loves the bike trailer and eating a snack along the way.

Abigail's Birthday Party with her classmates














Abigail had her classmates over yesterday to help her celebrate her 6th birthday. Yes, it was an early birthday but with the kids and I moving on the 1st of August we had to plan ahead.
The kids had a water balloon and squirt bottle battles. A pinata and the big water slide. It was fun despite the cooler weather.
Hope you enjoy the photos!
Love
Jessica, Abigail, Lillian and Jack

Betty Brinn Museum

Here's Jack behind the wheel. He loves playing with cars and thought this was a blast.
All three going down the slide together, some are happy and some are not....

Abigail playing with the clock inside a house:)


Jack is going to be a good baker:)



Lillian playing with the ball drop. She is just in heaven:)


Jack working on the computer, he is so serious.



Jack playing the musical instruments, while holding corn in his hand, he is going to be good at multi-tasking also.



This was the first time Jack got to explore at Betty Brinn. He had such a great time! The girls also had fun, we practically had the whole museum to ourselves.

Today we ventured out to the zoo with our friends also from the MOMS Club. We had lunch in the playground area, then walked around the zoo for a couple of hours, then ended the day with ice cream:)
Another great day!

A Warm Summer Day


Jack is thinking these googles are lots of fun:)





Here are the kids in the backyard with the kiddy pool, just having fun:)




Kalahari Resort


This is the view from our room which was completely on the opposite end of the resort! It took about 10 minutes to walk from one end to the other. Also this was the only picture and time we spent on the balcony since it rained so much.

The girls loved the hot tub, and wanted to spend lots of time here. Lillian learned she can walk on her tip toes and Abigail learned she could explore without anyone being next to her:)









The girls just love to dance and entertain. This is the two of them dancing in the restaurant.


Our room and the girls having a little snack after a hard day of swimming.


My mom, myself and the girls headed to Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells on Sunday thru Monday. My mom and I can home exhausted which the girls came home with lots of energy! We all had a great time and are planning on going back at the end of July for hopefully some outdoor water park time.
