Thanks Grandma & Grandpa

We had a great time at the farm!

Lindsay's Two Faces

Excited and yes, "playing" with matches...

...pensive, watching Connor & Brendan light fireworks.

Love at First Bite

Lindsay had a little taste of heaven when we shared our s'mores with her. The reality is that she probably polished off a whole s'more herself.

Notice how she grabbed...
...and chased us for more...

...and was terrified when the sugary bliss ended!

Fun Times in the Farm Yard

Too bad the weather was bad. Grandma & Grandpa had all sorts of special toys for Lindsay to enjoy in the yard. She loved talking on the phone in her kitchen...

...and taking her doll for a ride in the mini wagon.

And of course, she loved going down the "SIDE" time after time!

Cousins Forever!

We headed to our family farm in Salem, IL for the Fourth of July holiday. Lindsay hadn't seen her Lindsay-side cousins since Christmas so she had a ball. Here she is posing with Connor & Brendan (all wearing their holiday outfits from Grandma & Grandma).

Lindsay was mezmerized with Connor reading her bedtime stories.

She loved how Brendan did sparklers and pop-its.

Since it rained most of the trip - this was a pretty common scene. The big boys were so nice to let Lindsay join in their fun.

Dads & Daughters on the Fun Slide

The girls loved this "ride". Jeff and Scott seemed to as well...

Moms and daughters at the top of the slide.

Merry Go Round Trauma

We took the girls to a carnival in our neighborhood. Who knew this would cause such fuss from Lindsay? We thought she'd like her first Merry Go Round whirl. Clingy...

Scared...

Finally happy (although at this point we're getting off)...
