Too Long

I know it's been too long since I've updated. Now that it's been nice out, we spend much more time outside so that means less time on the computer. We've been busy too, planting a garden, going on a mini-vacation out west, going to the lake for the first weekend, and going on lots of walks and bike rides. Here are just a few random pictures first.

My loveys!

This girl LOVES to swing!

We went to the lake for Memorial weekend and except for Monday, the weekend was awesome. We spent a lot of time trying to catch fish, but didn't even get a bite. Good thing the weather was so great, or we wouldn't have lasted quite so long. Rylan was happy as long as he had a snack and when Mackenzie wasn't being lulled to sleep by the water, she just thought it was fun to be outside.

The master fisherman! Notice the calm water, it was just beautiful!

Rylan was pretending to be asleep in the picture.

We went to Bakke's on Sunday night, and it didn't take long for Rylan to get all wet, so while Nick went back for more clothes, he had a snack in half his birthday suit.

He also got to ride on the Bakke boys' Hot Wheels. His feet didn't quite reach the pedals so we just pushed him down the hill. He loved it!

Nick was a judge in an entrepreneurial competition out west, so we all went and had a mini-vacation. The kids and I hit up the zoo three days in a row and also had fun in the hotel's pool.

Just hanging out. I was going to take her in, but it was pretty cold, so she just watched.

He told me that this was too scary, until another little girl went under, then he was all about it!

We've also been to a more local zoo a few times as well. They have an indoor carosel and while I was feeling a little motion sick on it (I must be getting old), Rylan and Mackenzie loved it.
