July Is Flying By

On the first weekend of July, I decided to take each of the girls out fishing. On Saturday morning, Erin and Abigail headed to the Des Moines farmers market, so Bridget and I headed to Big Creek.

That afternoon, Abigail and I headed down to Lake Ahquabi for some fishing, a picnic, and playing at the park. We caught a few fish and had a really good time.

The first week of July, the girls spent a week at my parent's house while Erin and I spent a few days with my cousin and his wife in Madison. We then traveled to Waukon to spend a night with my grandparents before heading back to Evansdale to see retrieve the girls. 

Just prior to leaving on our trip, we received a phone call that Erin's sister had her baby. It was perfect timing as most of us were able to stop by the hospital to meet Ellie Sophia Korf before we left. She is just about the cutest baby alive and all of us are super excited to have her join the family. Bridget got her first chance to meet Ellie after we returned from our trip.

Since that times, things got a little busy and crazy. Last week, Abigail spent 2 mornings at a volleyball camp and LOVED it.

Other then volleyball camp, the last 2 weeks have been filled with swim lessons for both girls every evening. It was Bridget's last year of parent-child and both girls did great! It was also a lot of fun for me as I love spending time in the pool.

So cute and independent

Last weekend, on Saturday we took a trip to the Science Center and went out to eat at Legends. The Science Center was a lot of fun but Bridget had a meltdown at the restaurant. I ended up sitting with her in the car until our food arrived. The rest of dinner went much better.

Nothing will slow down from here as in the next 2 weeks we are travelling to Kansas City and to the Quad Cities for even more fun!
