Learning to Fly a Kite

 Everyone had fun watching the kite floating in the wind

Even Grandpa was enjoying the kite flying Unfortunately the session ended when Jake had to jump into the COLD lake with his clothes on to rescue the drowning kite.

4th of July Weekend 2011

We took a family trip to the pool and Anna showed off all her new swimming skills from lessons. Getting thrown up in air by Daddy was one of her favorites.
 We also had one last get together at Jake's childhood home. Everyone was in town and we enjoyed talking about our favorite memories of the house. We even had a slide show to bring back some fond memories of their childhood. Below is a picture of Sierra, Olivia, and Anna on the back porch during the party. Anna was using Grandma's binoculars to watch birds at the birdfeeder.
We wrapped up the weekend with a trip to Lake Wawasee. Anna loved the jet ski and speed boat ride. She also enjoyed spending time with mommy's girl cousins on rafts in the water, and played an intense game of UNO with mommy's boy cousins.
