Hot Day, Vacay & Horse Play

Indiana temps and humidity are on the rise

(if that's possible)!

WHEW!

Here in our shaded woods, the cold sprinkler feels refreshing!

(I know...could I at least put lil' man in a suit...he only has 5 of them! Geez!)

Cousins at play.

Anything to keep cool and happy!

Yay for water play!

Over the weekend, we took a girl vacay up to Michigan!

Jon's sis Suzanne, Aunt Karla, Jon's mom, moi and Jon's grandma!

Oh...what a great time!

Saugatuck is such a fab artsy town!

A chain ferry took us from our hotel to the downtown shops and dining!

I am now inspired....picking up the paint brushes again!

Another love? This town caters to it's animals!

There are water bowls outside almost every shop...

for dogs and squirrels!

And sooo many shops have dogs and kitties!

Bomber for instance.

Sunning in his scarf one day....
(The heat must have flattened his fro!)

Then napping in the store the next day!

Love this little guy!

Loved our little girl getaway!

This was the first time I was away from all three kiddos...

first time Jon stayed with all three kiddos.

He took them out to eat,

bought plants and started on landscaping all around our basketball court,

made a crock pot meal,

took the kiddos swimming

and even made an 8 mile bike trip to our local park and back! (And Laney just went training wheel free last week!).

Did I mention he made beds, mopped the kitchen floor and did some laundry?

I'm soooo going on more vacays! Ha!

*****

And today...Henry's second Hippotherapy session....
went from this....

(he LOVED riding this way...relaxing)

to this....

(sitting up, but unsure)
to this

(sitting up, looking up...pulling down the hands)

to finally this...

(hands down...okay with it all!)

I'm sooo proud of my baby!

Yep, it's quite a happy day!
Congrats Henry!
