wednesday, july 21, 2010. another fun day at the lake.
aunt mic and uncle ralph getting the news of their newest grandbaby. a boy named joah benjamin. i blogged a little more about this special event seperately.
i took the boys on a wagon ride to the little play area a couple houses away.
i always loved merry-go-rounds as a kid. they don't make them anymore. not sure if they were unsafe or what?
swinging. can't beat the setting looking out at the water.
spinning. getting ready to try and tag me.
just after a tag.
just spinning.
abraham wanted to push...
so levi wanted to too.
grandma micky showing us picks of her newest grandson, joah. she's saying his name here and making goo goo ga ga sounds. isn't he handsome!

"i want miiiiic. i want micki."
just liked the muted earth tones here.

abraham found aunt mic's glasses.
i told him he looked like santa claus.
here he's saying ho ho ho, but he looks like an old man.
