Duke's Lagoon!

We love Duke's Lagoon at Dutch Wonderland!!!  Here are a few pics from our Family Fun Friday!  (Not too many because Momma was having fun in the water too!!!)

 

 

Had a blast with Ali and Anna too!!!  

Sorry...no pics...I need a waterproof camera...haha!!!

Love it!

One of my favorite pics of the summer, so far!  

So quiet. So calm. No posing. Just an amazing daddy with his two sweet kiddos.........love it:)

River Fun!

On Monday evening we had dinner with Grandma at the river in Wrightsville...beautiful evening...not too hot, not too cold...just right!  Sammies from Subway, time to throw stones into the river and wade into the shallow sections, and (if you were Courtlyn) time to slip and manage to end up SITTING in the water...hence some pics where she is in her undies...oops!  Good times:)

 

 

 

 

Making Memories...

Fakesgiving!!!

Happy Fakesgiving!!!

For those who are unfamiliar with the "Fakesgiving"Holiday...let me explain:

It all began with an extra frozen turkey....and it blossomed into (what we hope will be) a yearly tradition!!!  Thanks to the Roperti's, our wonderful friends with the turkey!, we had all the fixins of a beautiful and scrumptious Thanksgiving...only in JUNE!  Turkey, Stuffin' Muffins (Homemade Stuffing placed into muffin tins), Carrot Souffle, Green Beans with Bacon and Mushrooms (yay bacon!!!), Mashed Potatoes, Corn Casserole, and Gravy.  (Oh, yeah, I said gravy!)  I mean...Dave and Ali had "the works" and it was ALL DELICIOUS!!!  And, yes, there was dessert too...Cherry Chiffon and Chocolate Oreo Fudge Ice Cream Cake:)
Thanks to best friends who are generous not only with their home, food and family, but their time as well!!!

XOXOXO
