I think his favorite part of the beach was the snacks.
Soccer Sunday was HOT!
We took a road trip to Vermont and visited Ben & Jerry’s.

I don’t think I have ever seen all four of my kids drawing/coloring at the same time. Miracles do happen.
We love Silver Lake. I expect we will be here most of the summer.
Three little bakers.
Kaitlyn used Pop’s $20 to buy the game Pop the Pig. Obviously, we then had a family game.
Magnets on the dishwasher are always a favorite.
We went hiking!
I decided to take all four kids to the outlet mall. Not one of my better ideas.
Last day of school for the big boys.
These two monkeys refused to get out of the shower this morning.
He found his snacks. He has his boots. All is right in his world.
This kid gets into things like non of my others did!!
Pool Day!
Oh Ben.
Hey you.
Best buddies.
He knows where his foot is supposed to go. He just can’t quite make it cooperate.
Swim lessons!
Four little monkeys.
We put Ben in charge of organizing the sunroom.
Saturday morning cartoons. Everyone’s favorite.
Want to guess what Ben’s having for dinner?
(It’s chili. This kid loves food.)
Ben wants to do all the things Kaitlyn does so badly..
