busy summer schedule

there have been a few big events this summer--a reunion! a lake house with cousins! a camping trip! a neighborhood party!--but we've been squeezing in the little things, the home things. frankly, they're the best things.

like making awesome lists of fun things (camping, looking at flowers, catching butterflies, going to NY, canoeing, climbing trees, and jumping off docks),


and sleeping in and doing morning art projects in our robes

and learning tennis with the neighbor kids,

and taking a dells duck tour of the wisconsin river (i'll admit that not everyone thought this was awesome...),

and wearing our tiny baseball ice cream cups on our heads a some evening minor league baseball,

and learning to climb fences,

and hiking in the lush wisconsin woods,

and swimming and heroically carrying the adults around in the water,

and catching sunsets at the edgewater,

and getting sun screen in our eyes (oh, wait, no--that's not the fun part),


and watching movies at the terrace,

and visiting all the stinky cows,



and posing in the most powerful way in the pool,


and having pizza on the farm with friends,


and eating mid-afternoon sundaes with some of our favorite people,
