Final Days of Summer- Part 1

We've been trying to make the most of the final days of summer break.  School starts tomorrow for Ethan.  Here's a little of what we've been up to for the last week or so!

August 8- We went to the Decatur Celebration parade in downtown Decatur.

Enjoying the parade

They were holding hands!  So, of course, I had to take a picture.

Checking out the Air Force jet.

Pizza slices as big as your head...

She chose grilled cheese and chips :)

Grilled cheese for this one too!

Topped off with Italian ice in baseball helmets

Nora, Atley and Ethan by the Transfer House and Central Park Fountain

August 9- We headed to O'Fallon, IL (a last minute decision) to go to Katie Sue's 4th birthday party!

Nora put Minnie's bow in just the right spot! (Maybe with a little help)

Ethan didn't...

Birthday Girl, Kaite

Opening presents!

August 10- We had a fun playdate at the Koskinen's house!

The big kids jumping on their new trampoline.  And yes, that's a sprinkler under it.  They had a BLAST!

Atley enjoyed the dry, big kid-less trampoline :)

August 12- We went to Fletcher Park in Mt. Zion for a little fun!

Atley loves to swing!

So does her sister!  And she's good at it too!

Ethan- in between monkey bars and swings stopped and smiled.

August 13- We went to Mt. Zion's Pony Express Days (it's basically a town fair).  The kids loved the rides!

Nora and our neighbor Liz on the potato sack slide (it was FUN! I went down once with Nora)

Ethan and Zach

I loved riding the ferris wheel with Nora.
