July 2021

So much canceled due to COVID, but of course the July 4th parade still happened. I'm not a fan of parades. It was so hot out.

We had a couple fun adventures, walking around Elm Grove Village Park and the Greenway Trail at Mount Zion Park, which is really just a short trail near our house off of North Avenue. 

Otherwise, summer continues. We really tried to keep the boys busy with camps. We had them in a day camp, Cole had a Bucks basketball camp, and Henry had some other kind of day camp at Wirth Park. It's a necessity. Otherwise, the bigs would complain about being bored constantly and then fight with each other. Kristin and the grandmas would never survive all four boys at home all summer long. 





We didn't get the big boxed fireworks this year, but we had enough for a pretty good show. 

Cabellas has a lot of tempting big ticket items. We were bored and took a random trip and I almost left with a couple ATVs and a fishing boat. 




The walking pic always makes me feel like a real professional photographer. Classic.







The new driveway is quite a lot higher than the old. I think we got 15 yards of fill and probably need a bit more. Luckily the boys and Jane and Caroline helped out.





Milwaukee Bucks! Unreal. I still can't believe they're champions. 

I love Henry's reaction here. 




Cole working his dribbling drills on the iPad. 







Gus is ready for the pool.



Lou built his own weights. They don't look real heavy. 

We had a dip off party. My shrimp dip came in last, so apparently our friends have horrible taste, except for Jason.
