Kalin and Grandpa were putting on a puppet show for Hannah.
Pee-Wee, Grandma, and Kalin were trying to fly, I think.
Is that a turtle or Kalin?
The kids were spraying the sheet with watercolor paints.
The three amigos after they were done.

Minneapolis Children's Museum

After the wedding, we visited the Children's Museum with Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle Vath (Pee-Wee), Aunt Melissa and Hannah. Here the kids are shopping at the Supermarket.
Andrew is driving a city bus. Kalin got to get her face painted.
Hang ten. There were some surf boards that you could stand on and then a screen that made it look like you were surfing.


Sean and Melodie's Wedding.

















At the of June, we traveled to Minnesota for my cousin Sean's wedding. The first picture is of Kalin with my cousin Kelly and Kalin's second cousins Destiny and Verrah. The second picture is of Kalin with Sean and Melodie. Kalin thought Melodie looked like a princess. We don't know where Andrew is.

Water ballons.



Bob and I were trying to teach the kids the art of water balloons. They didn't quite get the idea that the fun part is breaking them on someone, but they still had fun with them.

Andrew's shoe fetish.

As many of you know our son has a bit of a shoe fetish, Flip Flops are a particular favorite. In this picture he has at least one of his flip flops on, the other one is Kalin's. He is quite talented, he can wear all shoes (man, women, and child) and walk around quite well. In fact, Bob told me just this morning that he is wearing Kalin's new hot pink, shiny, high heeled flip flops to daycare today. (I'm not sure what Dad was doing when he loaded the kids into the car.) I really don't care too much, but Andrew has his two year well check today....I may have some explaining to do!! (PS Thanks Aunt Glo for the new shoes, they are a hit.)



Blastball!!




This is Kalin playing Blastball. Blastball is a form of T-ball, but a little easier. There are two teams. One team bats, while the other team fields. Once you hit the ball off the tee you run to first base and jump on it and then the base honks at you. Supposedly there is a way to keep score, but I couldn't figure it out. Her team was the Twins, but as you can see we only wear Cub gear at our house. I think that she will be ready for T-ball next year.

Going to the park.





In June, we took the kids to a park in North Liberty. Kalin thought she was tough stuff climbing the rock wall. Andrew tried and did't get very far, which is surprising since he has no trouble climbing onto counter, tables, and furniture at home.
