Watercolor or Bust!





Our annual trip to Watercolor with the Grinnals, Pickert & Spolar families was so...much...fun!!! We caravanned out of Celebration and the 7 hour drive went by in a flash!!! The house was spectacular and weather was perfect! The kids boogie boarded with a few sharks, jellyfish and some seaweed, but all had fun and we only had one jellyfish sting--Gracie is so brave!!!

4th of July Parade!




Decked out in our red, white and blue and waving our American flags, we proudly gathered on Market Street to cheer on all of the participants of the highly anticipated Celebration 4th of July Parade!! Watercolor float next year!!

Summer Fun!



The girls and I headed up to Ann Arbor, Michigan to visit Aunt Joan and Ken for an action-packed weekend! Highlights included a trip to the Farmer's Market, the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum, an interesting acrobatic performance (just this side of Cirque du Soleil) on the lawn of the beautiful University of Michigan campus, swimming & trampolining at Ken's club (Katie encouraged and convinced Caroline to jump off the high dive several times), exploring their amazing backyard (with little butterflies dancing around them ) and helping Aunt Joan pick the perfect location for her new tree, a matinee of "The Muppets Take Manhattan" in the historic and gorgeous Michigan Theatre, a VIP tour of the Ford campus (WOW!--can't wait for our "next new car..The Flex), and then wrapped it all up with a day at the Henry Ford Museum...whew!!! I'm exhausted just thinking about it!!! Sadly, my memory card went wacko, but thankfully Ken got these cute pics! Thanks for a great weekend, Joan & Ken!!!
