Busy Days of June

This was the first summer in my adult life that I didn't have to work during the month of June.   It was nice to be able to enjoy one month of summer at home with the boys, although we didn't stay at home much.  

Little Swimmers:

With a couple of hot days in the month of June, we took advantage of the pool at Grandma Geralyn and Grandpa Mike's house.  We even had our friends Angie and Addie join us for an afternoon of pool fun one day.  Both Mason and Cooper have gotten to enjoy the pool this summer. 

  

I promise that Cooper did enjoy the water a little bit, despite the look on his face.

With the help of a new floating device, Mason has become quite the swimmer.

Children's Museum:

We were able to join our friends Mandy and Henry for a trip to the Minnesota Children's Museum.  Mason's favorite part was the Clifford exhibit and the anthill in the Earth World exhibit.

  

Trips to Red Wing:

We made two trips to Red Wing in June (back to back weekends even).  Our first trip included a wedding shower for Rachel and an overnight for Mason with Grandma Brenda and Grandpa Frank.  The next trip was for the wedding of our high school friend Jinny (we made the mistake of taking both boys to the wedding and did not make it to dinner -- lesson learned).  Mason and Corey also got measured for their tuxes for Rachel and Chad's wedding that day.  They are going to be so handsome.

Zoo Visits:

Mason and Cooper made three trips to the Minnesota Zoo in the month of June (I love our zoo membership).  The "park" is still Mason's favorite part.  Our most recent trip to the zoo was with our friends Mandy, Henry, Angie and Addie.

Soccer Game:

Tyler is playing soccer this summer.  We went to one of his games and Mason proved to be his number one fan.  He cheered avidly throughout the entire game despite being disappointed that he couldn't play on Tyler's team with him.
