Another full week of fun!

We are just drinking in this fantastic summer, the mild (80 degree, not 100 degree) weather, and some great family time before school starts up.  Isaac has had a slightly rougher week with some teething troubles, but he can always count on this brothers to lighten the mood!
And his daddy for some extra snuggles when the fever hits 102!
 Roselle has a little festival called "The Taste of Roselle."  It's small, but we had fun doing a few rides and having a few treats.

 My parents rented a lakehouse on Diamond Lake for a couple weeks.  The same lake where they used to own a home and where our extended family of the Benharts still have a few cottages.  The boys and I spent a few days up there during the week, getting some snuggle time with Bampa and Bamma.


 We bounced back to Roselle and used some free gaming time coupons from their reading program to spend some time at Game Works.

 I did some prep for an exciting Disney trip reveal, more on that in a bit!
 Lil man figured out how to climb up on the couch, so our days of taking refuge from baby terrible on the couch are over!
 Mike created another cake masterpiece for the company picnic!
 Then on Friday, 8/8, we headed over to the Worsts for our Water Playdate!  We had some army guys trapped in ice that needed rescue by chisel.
 They made the giant blob again, it was a big hit!
 Hattie tests out the water in the pool.
 Sink or float?
 The big guys really worked well together freeing the guys in ice and then creating some nice battlescapes for them to play in.
 Hugo crashed in his typical fashion and zest for adventure!
 Add in a homemade 2 liter sprinkler and it's a par-tay!

 Ever present water slide!
 Carwash/kidwash was another hit!
 Leo says phooey to pnuemonia-whatever, and gets in on sponge tossing!
 Table for two at lunch?
 Twinsies against sunburn!
 Happy Birthday to Miss Evelyn!
 After the water party, we got daddy and headed to the lake.  The terrible traffic proved for a 4 hour trip, but we survived and the next morning we told them the big news!
New flips for the big trip!
 We're going to DISNEY WORLD!!!!  Trip set for June 2015, so we have time to prepare and get excited (if it's even possible to be MORE excited!)
 Isaac is ready to roll in his new footwear, pretty cute!

 We headed to our fave spot, the sandbar!

 While we were out, Isaac napped and daddy discovered him after nap emptying out the contents of Bamma's makeup bag.  He had shifted the pac n play over enough to reach it.  NAUGHTY!
 When in doubt, FEED ME!
 Lots of card playing and magic tricks from Uncle Josh!



 Lake living is exhausting!
 Isaac was less than thrilled to pose with the turtles "Ike" and "Tina" when we stopped for lunch at Lunkers!
So, yet another week of awesomeness!  This week we settle in and enjoy a calm week of summer before I head back to work!
