Vacation! Well, kind of?

So Dave was hoping to take a good week off for us to go places and have a vacation together but with his work as it is right now and all the things the boys are in that was proving to be quite the challenge. So instead he just took some extra days off here and there and the last couple of weeks have been VERY busy as you will see. This post is going to be rather picture heavy. The first is just the kids messing around with the camera while waiting for Dave to get home from work so we could go to our over night stay at a water park. Ozzye sporting his first swimsuit!
That is all of us on the lazy river.

Then the next night Dave took the boys to a football game which Kain, especially LOVED. But no pictures from that night. The next morning we went to Madison for my friend Andrea's wedding. It was lovely. Ceremony on the Capital steps in the evening. Then we paraded through town with a marching band leading us to the reception.
The kids thought it was cool and even better when some of them got to ride on the pedi-cab.
After that the kids, my mom and I went to my Aunt and Uncle's 25th Wedding Anniversary party.
Ozzye meeting his Great-Aunts, although my Aunt Shelly always says since she is too young to be a great Aunt that just means they are wonderful. These are my mom's sisters, Jan and Jude. Ozzye with cousin Amber, one of his God-Mothers (we think he might get two).

Ozzye meeting Great-GrandmaBrody wearing sis's hat.Okay these pictures had nothing to do with our festivities but they were still fun.
Then we had a parade. Aubriel and Brody waving to their Bop.That evening we left for Indiana to visit my brother and family. The kids always look so forward to seeing their cousins and have a blast playing with them. The first day we went blueberry picking.

Always fun trying to get a picture of nine kids!
This one is blurry but so cute, too bad it didn't turn out better.

And of course I need to end with yet another funny picture of Brody sleeping somewhere, his cousin's monkey chair. On to August and football now!
