And Now It's Summer

MEMORIAL DAY
We spend Memorial Day and a few days having a great time in Brownsburg, IN.  Family and friends gathered at Brent and April's house for swimming and eating.  It was a great day.  Don and I enjoyed the next few days playing with the boys!

Cam was splashing away in the pool

Cade has become quite the good swimmer!

Fun times with the Hoopers


Lunch time!


S'mores to end the evening


The Days Following Memorial Day

Cade was off to school
Off to the zoo for the rest of us.

Kasen observing the orangutangs

Papa and Kasen on the carousel.


Time to play with Cam and Kasen

Pool time as soon as Cade got home from school!



After the Birthday Bash weekend we kept Landon and Owen overnight.  Scott still had a teacher day before he was off for the summer.  We decided to do a Herky hunt around Iowa City and Coralville.  We managed to find and photograph 14 (out of 83).





COLORADO SPRINGS, CO
Don was helping with the U19 training camp so we spent a few days in Colorado.  The highlight was the Lionel Richie concert at the Red Rocks theatre.






The Kahlers invited us to join them for an evening while they were camping at Coralville Lake.  We enjoyed the fire and making s'mores.
