summer lovin'

        We have sure enjoyed summer thus far..especially this last week. Nate, my oldest brother and all his family was in town from Cincinnati and while they were here we partied nonstop every day! We enjoyed barbeques, keeping cool at the pool, evening fire roasts, four-wheeling, birthday parties, water fights, and my mom even did a fishpond for the grandkids-which pretty much turned into Christmas in July!
        We also took Calvin on his very first hike. We went with the whole family up to Big Springs in South Fork. Cal loved every minute of it. He is such a happy baby.

Towards the end it began raining and got a little chilly. . . . . but it didn't bother Cal one bit. . . .  in fact he took a nap. :)

For the 4th Jake spent a good part of the day working on his family cabin while I hit up some family parties. We topped our night off with good ol' PG fireworks. I was a little concerned about the loud noise, but the rockets red glare put little Calvin to sleep.

                               Cal was showered with attention from his cousins!
