Carder also had his first day of Preschool this week. He made some new friends and enjoyed the mini trampoline and play dough activity. It's pretty quiet without the boys in the house during the day now. Maeley and I feel a bit lost!
Cayden had his first day of 1st grade this past Wednesday. He's even big enough to be responsible for his own desk. Where did the time go? His favorite activities were morning and afternoon recess. That's a true student!
Last Friday the whole family was able to experience a Minnesota Vikings game from the Paragon Medical field suite in the Lucas Oil Field Stadium. Wow...what a view! This suite is truly amazing. The night was filled with good food, great people, and some major fun. And to top it off, the Vikings won!
Yesterday the kids and I spent the afternoon at the absolutely beautiful Wegerzyn Gardens. The kids enjoyed the Children's Discovery Garden that includes a musical maze, limestone grotto and waterfall, sand pit, and all types of plants and flowers that tickle the senses. Mommy enjoyed the peace within the formal gardens while capturing a few shots of the flowers, planters, and plazas. It's hard to believe this 1,000 acre nature retreat can be found in the middle of downtown Dayton. If you live in the area and haven't had a chance to experience the gardens, please take a few moments to stop by. They will literally take your breath away.
Here is a link to the website: http://www.metroparks.org/parks/wegerzyngarden/home.aspx
Check out the slide show to experience the garden's tranquility!
So...this photo pretty much sums up a daily occurrence between Cayden and Carder. They are playing just fine and then out of no where Carder is blindsided by his older brother telling him he is doing everything wrong. Oh the life of a middle child.
We were fortunate to be able to paticipate in our newest Godchild's, Parker Howard Campbell, baptism on July 11th.
This is the whole gang that enjoyed a few fun filled days at Wisconsin Dells.The first photo is of Grandma and Grandpa Rohe with their 8 grandchildren. Yes, I said 8. Can you believe they went from 0 to 8 in less than six years. And to top it off, the count it still on. They are expecting number 9 in September and only time will tell who's next to make another contribution.
The second photo is everyone on the Buck side that attended this year's reunion. We spent that night celebrating birthdays and catching up on the usual this and that.
The rest of the week was jam packed with water rides and roller coasters. Everyone had a wonderful time and can't wait for our next destination.
More photos to come!
