A Visit From The Volesky's

My parents came to visit for a weekend in June....here the kids are with my parents one morning...
And now with just Papa Ken.
Soph and Gav hanging out with Papa around the fire pit.


Nana and Soph cuddling.

Uncle Lane had a surprise for Sophia and Gavin...one big blue balloon shark! It was so great to see the initial looks on their faces as the shark made it's appearance....disbelief and a bit fearful!
Although we told them that it is not real, Gav still gets a bit nervous at first even after the first encounter:)

The look on G's face...priceless!

And now he even gives BigBlue a kiss!


So odd looking!



G, Papa, Nana and Soph enjoying and evening fire:)



Uncle Lane.

G loving his smore!

Lane and Dad.

We took a short day trip to Stillwater and walked around the town, had lunch on the river and did a little shopping.

I love this one of Gav and Lane!

The Berger family.

After we got back from Stillwater, we decided to go hang out at the Lebanon Hills beach because it was such a hot day. Here is Patrick, our master griller, getting ready to make us all some dinner.
Everyone taking a dip in the water.

He sure loved the lake!
