Time flies when you're having fun!

Hard to believe that summer is over now. Here is a recap of the 2nd half of summer.

We went to the Monroe Farmer's Market and the boys got Pikachu hats with the gift certificate we had. We have worn them Pokemon hunting multiple times already!

We checked out the storybook characters around the square.

Sam went to a Superhero night. He made his own mask, did some superhero tricks and captured some villains!

We didn't get to use our pool as much as we wanted to since it didn't stay all that warm this summer. There were some fun times in it though!

A trip to the zoo with the two Joeys.

Train ride selfie!

They had a cool new exhibit where you could move sand around to build mountains, make lakes, etc. The boys were both fascinated with it.

The boys made a robot for vacation Bible school. Sam was not thrilled for it to leave the house.

Linus snuggles!

The boys and Grandma played "Patty Cake" with Linus. He was smiling and loved it!

John and I got to make a weekend trip to Door County. First trip without the boys since 2011!

Fish boil...

The boys took a karate class through the Park and Rec. Can you see Sam in the front leading the warm-up exercise?

Maebel turned two! We had so much fun celebrating with her!

First day of School! 3rd grade and Kindergarten...hard to believe!

Walking to school...

Sam was nervous until we got in his classroom, and then he was ok with being at school!

Joey got to fly in an airplane through the Young Eagles program. He first learned about the parts of a plane.

Then he got ready for takeoff! He got to fly in this plane with Dan Wegmueller (pilot) and 2 other kids.

He had a great time. He loved wearing the headsets to be able to talk to each other, and he saw downtown Monroe out the window.

It feels like I missed lots of stuff we did this summer, and the summer flew by as usual. On to Fall!
