big fun on the trolley
I really love this one, Brad was talking and Gray walked up to Abbie to be picked up and without hesitation , like i'm in my wedding gown and you and your shoes are dirty, she just bent down and picked him up and continued listening to what her dad had to say, no words no fuss just, sure i'll hold you because I love you buddy, gotta love the body of Christ!
her personal shower at Starbucks yum!
and of coarse pampering was in order.
Liv was in heaven spending the entire day with Abbie on Friday. We are so blessed to have her in our "family" she is one of our fav's!
Caleb came for a hair cut, I got paid handsomely Thanks!, then out for summer fun as you can see!
for our sunday night service at church we had a beach baptism it was cool and chilly, but after it was only 5 pm and we wanted to find some fun. we took Brooke and Taylor along and headed out. we didn't want to pay $23 for parking so we ended up here parking on the street and going to the fountain almost free!The kids loved it when we got there we were the only ones in the fountain, who else would play on a cold rainy day?
well it did start to rain which the kids thought was fun
but then it just was raining to hard so we packed it up got dinner and ate at Brooke & mikes Tay slept over for his last bit of fun before high school begins. Fun found mission accomplished. 
we had a family day to the museum of S&I with the purpose of seeing the U-505 sub exibit per Brookes recommendation, It was fantastic!! we were in there 3 solid hours . Go if you can so great.
D & O buy one of the ships guns
these were the bunks kinda small for grown men.
no kiding this is the entire kitchen on board to feed 56 men on 3 hot plates, yeah don't think the Navy is for me. Funny thing is we were here during those horrible storms on Thurs. didn't even know they were happening, turns out it was possibly the safest place we could have been 40 feet underground in a cement room, we didn't hear a thing. welll that is until we left and drove home in the wonderful traffic.
Chris rapp is in town for 3 days before he goes on to grad school out east. so we were busy showing him a good time. Sunday we went down to the Shed to see all the fishes.It was a place that he nor Laura had ever been so that was fun.
on monday we did our favorite summer activity, yep biking on the lake, which was another new treat for him. we packed a lunch and ate here at the planetarium
it was cool because the goo goo dolls were doing a sound check at the theater for a show that night so we ate to live music. then we rode on to this spot the old megs (not sure if thats right, megs or migs) field quite tranquil in the middle of the city.
Gray always has to see the "big bean" followed of coarse by the fountain, which I already have 400 pictures of.
tuesday our last day with Chris before he goes to get more smarter, we went to glow in the dark mini golf. Chris and I had never been it was really very fun. B got a hole in one and got $1 from Chris for it, nice work B.
since Chris has been here the boys have been sleeping upstairs so Chris can have the basement. last night I went in to kiss them goodnight and found all 3 boys out on the floor, goodtimes.
