Other Summer Events

Going for a walk/bike ride on a beautiful summer day.


Sharing the rocking horse

He's having fun, she's annoyed.

Poor boy was so tired he fell asleep before Daddy finished the bedtime story.

We took Kate's crib down and she is now sleeping in a big bed. Seems a shame for a perfectly good crib to be unused. Hmmmm.

Summer Fun

Ok, so it has been forever since I've posted. I lead a busy life you know!! Here is what we have been up to.
The many faces of Kate while eating ice cream.



Andrew can't get enough ice cream this summer.

Kate trying to dress herself



Kate loves hats, or anything she can try to make into a hat.

Andrew is very creative when building with his Legos. He quickly discovered that if he stands on a stool he can build bigger towers.


Daddy surprised Andrew one day by building a tower that was as tall as the ceiling.

Fun, Fun, Fun

Dressing up


Andrew said he wanted to wear this shirt to be like his Pa Pa. He called it his "PU" shirt :)

Little Artist

Chocolate Bird Nests (Rice Krispies, Melted Chocolate, and Chocolate Eggs)

Rosemarkie Beach/The Black Isle

The second day of our car rental, we toured the Black Isle. First we met some friends at Rosemarkie Beach. We weren't sure what to wear since we didn't know what the weather was going to do. Both kids ended up in bare feet with wet and sandy clothes, but we had a great time.

Our messy girl. She ended up with sand everywhere, even her hair. She also tried to eat some.





After the beach, we drove on to a village called Cromarty. We enjoyed warm drinks and treats in a cafe and wandered around the village.

Trip to Ullapool

We rented a car last week and took a day trip to Ullapool, which is on the west coast. It was a cloudy, gray day but was dry. We enjoyed some amazing fish and chips. Then we went to an area that had a beach and a light house.
