Nothing Like Abandoning the Blog for a Couple Years...

Our first trip to Bay Beach June 2nd (the day before Fischer's birthday), was brief but fun (some rain cut our visit short).

The boys enjoyed boats, cars, and a train ride :)

That night was bath night. I've been growing Fischer and Larken's hair out...it makes for some fun styling in the tub!

Monday, June 3rd was Fischer's 5th (!!) birthday! He shared a treat at school and chose a friend, Beckett, to take to dinner at Noodles & Company. He had a great day :)

Fischer's preschool graduation took place Wednesday, June 5th. There was a sweet and simple ceremony at daycare that night, with a great guest turn-out, and excellent event execution by the staff, allowing me and Holly, whose 5-year-old, Fischer's buddy Collin, graduated, too, to sit back and "just be moms" that night. 

Just look at that smile!

It was great! So proud of Fischer and all his classmates! I can't believe he's off to Kindergarten this fall!

To celebrate Fischer's, Joe's, Josiah's and Frances' birthdays, as well as Fischer and Collin's graduation, our family spent the weekend camping in Tomahawk with Holly and her boys. Joe's Friday night birthday dinner wish was steak on the fire :)

Everyone got along terrifically, even though we had mosquitos, wood ticks, and rain to deal with. It was super cool to see all the dragon flies hatching, though!

Larken was a champion camper, taking a morning nap in the tent both mornings while it rained. 

Fischer and Collin practiced casting quite a bit, and Fischer even landed a good-sized crappie!

We enjoyed a Saturday afternoon of playing at Memorial Park and celebrated the 4 birthdays with 4 cakes and good food. Thanks, Frances & Nate!

So far, summer is off to a great start, despite wishy-washy weather!
