Week home with Mom!

We had a crazy busy month of July. I haven't said much about anything we've done yet..I have pictures saved to share but just not the time to do it yet! It started with 4th of July..we went to Osakis for the annual 4th of July softball game with the Waldvogel family. The next weekend we had the Osakis car show, then it was the Carlson Family summer picnic...then family reunions and finally..August! In the middle of all that...we had t-ball two nights a week and I had a week off from work to stay home with the kids. Below are some pictures from that week. It was the hottest week of the year so we were limited in our choice of outdoor activities. The temps were near 100 almost every day that week with record breaking humidity...I think the weather people said it was like living in the Amazon Rainforest. My mom put their little swimming pool out in the backyard and that's pretty much what we did every day. The kids played in the pool, my mom and I sat out there and sweat..and then we'd go inside the house to cool off! I did venture to the park near our house one afternoon...Caleb rode his scooter and I pushed Ella in the stroller. The playground was too hot so we could only use the swings. Another morning before it was too awfully hot, my mom and I took the kids to a different park and Caleb rode his bike. He's been practicing a lot and he's anxious to take off the training wheels (this is mostly because Charles from t-ball can ride his bike without training wheels). Laura, my mom and I also brought Caleb to Dairy Queen one night (instead of t-ball..it was canceled both days due to the heat). It was a fun week but we really wish the weather had been nicer!
