New Jersey trip

Our trip to the garden state was memorable for more than just sickness though.

Matthew went on bike rides with Uncle David, Grandpa, and his Daddy.

He was in boy heaven. Aunt Christine also took him canoeing for the very first time too. He can't wait to go again sometime.

Aunt Lisa and the cousins joined us for a trip to a sandy lake. The kids built sand castles, wadded in the shallow water, and of course splashed each other.



Matthew had a grand time splashing Aunt Lisa. Melissa loved playing with Hazel. Isaac made multiple attempts to drown himself by wading out as far as he could up to his neck. The child has no fear or caution. Good thing there were two big people to keep the troops safe.

We also played in the sprinklers, ate too many popsicles, ran through the parks and just relished every last bit of summer.

As Jonathan mentioned, Saturday evening we went out on a date courtesy of Uncle David and Aunt Dielha. Our kids have such wonderful aunts and uncles.
