Summer Bucket List

I feel like I've been neglecting this blog a little bit over the last few weeks!  We've been so busy around our house & with work (Eli's been gone coaching basketball camps since Grady's birthday).  I feel like I haven't had time to breathe!

What we have done is chip away at our summer bucket list!

In April, we went to a Twins game for my dad's birthday...

Grady took swimming lessons in May to get ready for a summer on the lake...

In June & July, Grady's playing tball at the Y.  He loves it.

Then, last weekend we went to the Shrine Circus in town.  We rode a cute elephant & almost saw a performer plunge to his death.  Grady covered my eyes for me so I wouldn't see...he's sweet like that!

A few weeks ago, we went up north to the cabin & Grady & Eli got some fishing in even though the weather was cold, rainy, & super windy...

If the weather cooperates, we're hoping to take Grady to Valleyfair for the first time next week!  I know he'll love it since he's such an adventurous kid.  :)

Some other things we've checked off the list, but don't have photographic proof of:
Feed the Ducks
