4th of July Fun in Clear Lake (Part 1)
Fishing off the dock with Papi (caught a couple whoppers) and pontoon rides (with Veda's karate kick).
Winston's Sweet Ride
He's getting pretty good on the glider bike (near expert status). The two girls never really used it much, but leave it to the boy in the family to figure out how fast you can go with no peddles, down hill. This is a shot of him 'posing' for the camera at Nana and Bull's house.
Road Trip to Chicago
Kathy had a work meeting in Chicago, so we decided to drop in on our way to Iowa City. Stayed at the Millenium hotel on Michigan Ave (which they kids really enjoyed - especially the swimming part). Went to Millenium Park and took our touristy pics at The Bean.
Niko's Trip to Cincinnati
The kids had a blast playing with Uncle Ryan's dog (actually Yuko's dog) at our house in Cincinnati. Pretty sure they would love a dog, but just not quite there yet..maybe when they are a bit older.
Boone County (Kentucky) Farm Tours
We had a fun trip down to Kentucky a couple weeks ago with the Boone County farm tours. The kids got to play around, found a giant moth, hayride, dog petting and all other kinds of fun stuff.
Dave's Bachelor Party in Louisiana
Fun times reuniting with old college friends for Dave's bachelor party in New Orleans for one day and then down to Venice, LA for some deep sea tuna fishing. Unfortunately the storm knocked us out of commission in about 2 hrs, but we still had a good time (minus the sea sickness).
New Patio!!
Finally, after many weeks of waiting, we have a finished patio. Should be a good time this summer, especially the fire pit.
Here are a couple before pics, for us to reminisce about...
Winston's First Home Depot Project
It was very fitting that it was lawnmower day at Home Depot. Winston's vehicle of choice. And what's a trip to Home Depot without a ride on the porch swings.
Memorial Day Weekend In Iowa
Pics from our first summer weekend of 2014 in Clear Lake. Was good getting back home after being in Cincinnati for most of the winter. The kids couldn't wait to get back to The Landing (especially Adele to get her green olives). Grandpa Gary traded in the golf cart for a jet ski and the kids LOVED it...will definitely be fun the rest of the summer.
Stopped in Iowa City on the way back to Cincinnati and had time to go down to City Park for the kids to ride rides with Nana and Bull. Good times.
