What We've Been Up To....

We've been wearing our suits a lot lately....


...and our new goggles!


Rock climbing....


...and playing in the fountains are also a favorite!


All this swimming and water play wears us out!


EVERYONE is happy!

Maggie's First Photo Shoot

Our friends, Dennis and Cara, were blessed with their fourth little girl last month, Maggie Mae Colleen. I had taken pictures of their older three girls before Maggie was born, but have yet to post them as there were SO many! Here are a few of the precious little Maggie Mae....

A Day at Yanney Park

Our family's favorite place to visit in Kearney is Yanney Park.

It was a cloudy day, so the fountains were not as busy as usual. The girls (mostly Lola) enjoyed running through them!


They just added a new jungle gym...or should I say ship!




Lola enjoyed climbing the rock.


Liv enjoyed swinging on this bar.....


....then dropping down the slide!


Lena found the dolphin!


Wrigley even gets to join us at Yanney Park. The walking trails are long and the park is spread out so it's a great place for him to run.


The lake has some swans. This was the "daddy" swan.

This was the "mommy" swan with her babies in the distance.




Olivia was not willing to turn her back to the swan.


Lola always runs to sit with these statues.


Lola and Liv climbed the tower with Kasey.


Then it was off to the maze.


Liv followed Lola for the first journey, but soon got distracted.


Lola, on the other hand, finished with perserverance. She then went on to finish it 5 more times!


Lena did not do well at the maze!


Liv's new trick was to walk along this wall.


She was very proud of herself.


Lena climbing a hill.




To end the day....we snacked on french fries!
