Our trip to IL

We drove down to Libertyville for the fourth of July. Boy, the mosquitoes sure are bad in lower WI and IL! We were almost carried away. My mom had a friend with a cherry tree, so one day we picked about 14 cups of cherries and it didn't even look like we made a dent in the tree! We saw fireworks, the kids were in a 4th of July bike parade and we play with friends. Here are some fun pictures that I just had to post!

Here are the kids picking cherries.

All decorated for the bike parade. The parade that no one watches and everyone is in!

And some cute pictures of our newest daughter!

It's been a long time...

Minzi had her heart surgery on May 28th and is past the six week recovery period! She is doing great. She runs and skips everywhere. The kids love to carry her and teach her new things.

We are enjoying our summer and here are some fun pictures!
