Gotta Love Summer!

Kids + Summer = the True Meaning of FUN!!!!!!

We have had such a great summer so far--full of water fun, trips to the zoo, playing at the park, and much more! On Sunday, we got to go to the zoo and out to lunch with Mema and Papa Krupp, and on Monday we got to go to the park and McDonald's with the lovely, little McKenzie. The kids loved the zoo again. Lucas is so big and brave at that place! And Thomas really enjoyed it, except when the giant hippo opened his mouth right in front of Thomas and a huge Monkey swung at the glass directly in front of him--those things scared him terribly. Kevin knows that zoo like the back of his hand! He could be a tour guide!

And the park was awesome...those kids kept me and Cortney on our toes! It took both of us to keep up with them all. Of course, all of the boys have to go off in opposite directions. And McKenzie--what a character! It was time for her nap, but that little girl refused to sleep. She had more important stuff, like watching the crazy boys run all over the place!

What great times! Oh, and you have to check out Marianne's fish that she caught on her trip to Canada! And some excellent news for me--Paul is taking me to the new Harry Potter movie tomorrow night! I am pumped!

All Aboard! Don't they look so big on the train all by themselves?


Kevin had to ride up front...even if it meant sharing the seat with a little girl!

Peek-A-Boo little Lucas!

Summer time! Yippee!

Marianne and her 125lb halibut! She even reeled that sucker in all by herself!

  1. Man! Lots of good pics on this post Bran! The boys are so cute and entertaining! Kenzie is certainly amazed by them! Plus nice job Marianne-that is crazy!! Thomas does look a little sad in the park pics-he wasn't touching McKenzie like Kevin and Lucas got to. =( They are so great!!

  3. Now, now Kelly, Harry Potter ROCKS!!!! And you are going to love it...or not because I heard it's really hard to follow if you haven't read the books...I HAVE A GREAT IDEA--Spend the next 3 days with your nose stuck in a book to catch up! P.S. It probably will scare you.
