Summer Adventures

Yes I've slacked off in documenting our summer!

Since I'm so behind I'm just going to do one mega post of all our adventures.

Madison

In the middle of May Ryan was going back to Madison for the annual review that his research group puts on every year.

It was a quick trip (2 days) but we had a lot of fun.

Jake and I decided to tag along and catch up with some of our friends.

During the days Jake and I had picnics with friends, enjoyed the hotel pool, and hit up the Madison zoo.

We also made sure to stop for dinner at the Great Dane.

One of Ryan's friends wasn't coming in until later in the week though so we drove back Saturday to have breakfast at Mickey's.

On the plus side that meant we also got to go to the farmer's market!

Jake wasn't a fan of all the crowds so we mostly just hung out in the grass by the capital after we'd gotten some cheese bread and jalapeno jelly.

Beach 

We took Jake to the beach for the first time and this kid is a fish!

He did not want to come out the of water and had no fear in the water.

I don't know how he had fun since the water was freezing but he loved every minute of it.

Graduation

The first weekend in June I headed down to Indiana for my sister's high school graduation.

She did a great job on her speech as a student body officer.

We spent the rest of the weekend shopping, doing yoga, and laying out by the pool!

Ryan stayed home with Jake and they had a fun boys weekend.

They worked on walking and spent some time at the park.

Ryan even braved church by himself and still taught his Sunday School lesson!

Jake is such a daddy's boy!

Aunt Jenna's Visit

In June my parents were going to youth conference for the weekend and since my sister had that same time off work she came up for a visit.

It was so much fun to have her here.

We explored down town, went to the Safe House for dinner, played wii, had a picnic at the beach, and she introduced us to the show "Chuck".

Grandma's Visit

Just a couple weeks later my mom came up for a visit.

She heard Jake was starting to walk and didn't want to miss out on that milestone.

We spent a lot of time enjoy the beautiful weather on walks, at the park and we even went down town for summer fest.

She even babysat for us so we could go to the temple and she hemmed some curtains for me!

We've had a great summer and can't wait to see what the rest of the summer will bring!
