Dykstra family reunion on Lake Michigan. Oh Lake Michigan, how I (Michelle) love thee! Tessa spent hours playing in the sand!
The sprinkler ball. I wasn't sure if Nathan would like it so I didn't bother putting his suit on. As you can see from his saturated outfit, he loved it!
Lake Michigan. Nathan wasn't quite sure what to do in the sand until he found his own mini-lake a little up shore. We call this expression his gomer smile.
Tessa's first horse ride! Horse rides were offered uptown as part of the July 4 festivities. She was very tentative at first, but after getting used to it, she loved it! We had to go back in line for a second ride on Bozo the horse. (Notice the shirt she choose for the special occassion).
Our summer has been a fun one! We have been to the zoo, the doctor for kindergarten shots, the dentist, the pool, Vacation Bible School, Wisconsin for a Dykstra family reunion, and visited with our great friends from Michigan. The sprinkler ball has come out a couple of times and they both love it! We have also had some friends come over to play and visited the library.
The kids have spent a lot of time outside. Both Tessa and Nathan can pass many hours in the backyard. If Nathan feels that he has neglected to pass adequate time outside and we are not catching his cues, he brings us his sandals and says "soes."
As of today, the humidity has hit and hit hard. This cool-weather-loving-mom has plans to hibernate for the rest of the summer.
Other than hiding in the basement, we have a couple of trips planned. At the end of July we head to Michigan to spend some time at a cottage on Lake Michigan (swoon!) with Marc & Shelby. In August we drive to Colorado where the Brouwers are converging in one huge cabin/mansion. After 4-5 days there, we return home just in time for kindergarten to begin!

Ooooo...a post! Welcome back! Love the pictures! Now I understand why you are getting 783 of them! :)
Yes!!! A new post!!! Sounds like you have been busy, so I will give you a break. Talk to you later.
Yay! Love the pictures! You're better than me the past couple of months though! Ha!
I showed Ella the picture of Tessa on the horse and she was rather excited for Tessa. Everytime we see a horse (on anything, anywhere!) Ella always has to comment that Tessa would like that. Glad she got the opportunity to ride a real one!
