More July Activity

Jake Kids Race 1
Originally uploaded by tracyg00

On July 9th, Jake ran in his first kids' race. He was excited. He got a late start off of the line, but they gave him a medal and a fireman's hat and he said, "I was the winner!" Megan's an old pro at this one, I think this was her 3rd year. Here's her post-race photo:




On Sunday, the 12th, we spent the afternoon at the Lincolnwood Fest. Megan absolutely loves carnival rides and Jake is finally warming up to them too:



Last Wednesday, Megan finished the masterpiece that she had been working on. Darin hung it that same night for her. The format of this blog will probably cut off the end of the photo, but you'll get the general idea!



And, finally, this past weekend was spent at the cottage in Wisconsin again. Lots of fishing, boating, swimming (although it was a bit chilly, so I was the only one to actually swim). Here's my new favorite photo:



Jake caught the first fish of the day.....so cute:



And, here's a gratuitous Megan photo -- flashing a smile after returning from breakfast (they love to go out to breakfast!):



Whew.
