Who said you needed water?

Here are some new pictures of the four cute Wiersma's captured by grandma Feenstra's camera. We ate supper with them and then the kids went to explore the barn. They tired of that after some time and took to the water....actually just he seadoo which should be in the water. They all took turns "driving."
Ian, Kendra, Lucas and Gavin....do you think they trust Gavin to drive?

Look mom, no hands!

PE Exam Update!

I thought I would put up a quick post to let everyone know that I passed the PE Exam! The letter was dated June 12, which was a little less than 2 months after I took the test. This is a huge thing for me in my professional life and I'm happy to not have to retake the test. Sorry I don't have any pictures to go with my post, Beth does that better than me!

Dutch Village

The kids earned passes to Dutch Village through the libraries summer reading program, so we went. I has been a very long time since I had been there, so it was very fun (oh, grandma came along too...she couldn't remember the last time she had gone.) We spent several hours watching Dutch Dancers, learning about herring, watching baby ducks, feeding baby goats, riding the carousel and swings, watching them carve wooden shoes and we even watched them dip and carve candles. Lots of fun only a few miles from home!


Here are 4 famous painters helping out an even more famous painter...Ian even identified the painter from something he learned in art at school. (Megan....it's fake:)


The stork brought 4 kids this time!


Me and Ian driving the wagon.


Ian, Kendra & Grandma rode the swings...I think Kendra grinned the whole time...said she was flying!


A really cute little dutch boy!

Desperate housewife?

I couldn't help but share Gavin's latest get up...better save these for wedding day!

Getting ready to vacuum.


I'm not quite sure what he is doing here....what a crazy kid!


Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July!

We had a wonderful day doing a whole lot of nothing. We ate brunch at a park with the Wiersma's, played outside, went on a little nature hike and watched/slept through the fire works.


The true all American kids!


Don't forget to take time to smell the flowers - from Gavin:)

Popcorn

This one is for you Megan & Jennie! Do you remember eating popcorn on Sunday afternoon? Here is Matt and Gavin doing the same! The other three kids are at the airshow with grandma and grandpa so Gavin has us all to himself! Just thought you might like to take a trip down memory lane:)
