Los Animales

Little Lady loves animals, or at least the idea of them, so a comfortable distance is typically best.

Except our kitten Madge, she loves to be up close and personal with her :)

 A baby lab Cooper :)

Her arch nemesis Georgia

And Madge again. This time in the stroller with her! What a delight!

She recently played fetch on the beach with some other pup pups, what fun!!!!

See you at the zoo!

We recently spent the morning at the zoo with friends - fun!!!!!

 The whole gang!

We're so glad the Vriesies moved back, see you again soon!

Beach Babies

It's been a good stretch of beach weather around here lately. 

The water is warm and the sand it HOT!

This was really the first trip to the beach for Little Miss, she loved it! 

The sand, the water, the friend to show her the way!

Oh, the snacks too. Snacks and beach go hand in hand.

A few weeks later we headed up to Traverse City with Auntie Kari and Arie and stayed with Grandpa Doug and Grandma Judi. It was so fun to change our routine and spend time with them.

Playing on the beach and swimming in the bay 

Paling around, having a snack 

Enjoying the downtown splash pad and Cherry Republic - we love their samples!

Happy happy girl when she plays with her friend! 

Both of them were telling us they were not tired and had no intention of sleeping on the way home...mhmm, right. 

Being with friends is so good. We're very thankful for them!

Mmm cake!

July is full of birthdays including Handsome Pete the most fabulous dad in allll the Land of Kelsey!

 Mmmm cake. Girl after her parents hearts!

 Then we cashed in on birthday concert tickets with Peter's parents - Happy Birthday to you...again!

Happy year! See you next July and we'll do it all over!
