Summer

I can't believe it's been over a month since I've updated! Well, in all honesty, I kind of can. :) We've been trying to squeeze every drop out of this summer since we'll be sticking around for another Minnesota winter. A few pics from July:

This is us, enjoying our 3rd annual trip to Music in Plymouth; an outdoor music concert featuring the Minnesota Orchestra and kickin' fireworks show. Jade, of course, held her ears and faced the other way during the fireworks, but, luckily, did not cry the entire time.

Dan's family came out for a visit. Stef and Kevin came with the girls, from Texas. Mike and Lou came from Idaho. Here is a cousin shot; soon to be outdated because Stef is expecting a little boy this fall. Can't wait!
Of course, we needed a family picture, and it turned out super nice.
We've been hitting the local beaches. Jade loves to play in the water, she's like a fish. She asks me pretty much every day if we can go swimming.
We went on a hike/boat ride with Dan's Aunt and Uncle, and cousins.
Chloe is getting so big!! She is army crawling all over the place and loves to pull herself up on to things. She's getting very strong.
