We have been thinking of things to do everyday to escape the noise coming from the basement, so the zoo is always a winner - I think we go there at least once a week. This week, we went with our friends, the Novotnys. It is one of the last times we will see them before their new adventure begins in Dallas next week. Good luck Novotnys, we will miss you!!
We also ventured up to Dubuque one day to see all of my Aunts and Uncles. Little Blake was there too, so Henry had a buddy during lunch. It was the first time I had seen some of them since I returned home from Germany, which means they had their first meeting with Beatrice as well!! After our lunch we stopped by my sister's for a little more play time, needless to say, Henry was asleep before we were on the highway again.
Our arts and crafts project for the week was tie dying tee shirts at Papa and Nana's. My sister and the kids were down, so all of the kids did one; even Bea managed to do a onesie!! Unfortunately, I do not have a picture of the kids modeling them, but they turned out great, especially Carolyn's and Bea's. I will be sure to get a picture for my next blog. Later that day, we headed out to the beach. Henry had not been to a beach in quite some time, so it was like another first for him! After swimming, making sand castles, and having beach races, the kids buried John in the sand (lucky John). After long showers, everyone was exhausted and slept very soundly, despite the horrible storm we got that night!
Below are a few snap shots from the week, enjoy.
This week our basement will be completed to the point where we can move some belongings down there, so our sea shipment is scheduled for delivery on Thursday! We cannot wait to have everything in one place again. Beds, dressers, clothes, toys, pictures - yippee!!
Henry also has a class at the museum this week, Beary Big Fun Camp! He is really looking forward to it.
Until next time - cheers!!
