This Fourth of July we decided to take a day trip down to Red Wing, Minnesota. It was a gorgeous ride through the bluffs. When we got into town we stopped at the Smokey Row Cafe for lunch. 
Vada loves drinking out a big girl cup now- except mom doesn't like it so much when she decides to carry it around the house....as Jaxson would say :) .."what did she do this time?" The entire time at lunch she just wanted to walk around the restaurant and talk to other people when they were eating their lunch. Oh and she found the garbage can too..up, down, up, down...hi, hi, hi
Right next door to the cafe there was a cute little candy store- of course we had to stop!
Here is Jaxson peeking his head over the candy!
After lunch we met grandma and grandpa at Colvill Aquatic Center. What a beautiful park! We spent the afternoon swimming. Jaxson and Vada are such litte water bugs. Jaxson is so comfortable in the water- he is going to do great at swimming lessons!
Here Vada being Wacky with her Wacky Noodle!
Jaxons blowing me kisses!
After hours of swimming we went down to the park area within the grounds. Grandpa found us the perfect spot! We grilled up some brats while the kids played at the park and then had a quick dinner before the rain came in. We planned on staying a little longer, but mother nature had other things in mind. It actually worked out okay because then we were able to get home in time to go over the grandma Vickie's and grandpa Steve's to celebrate the last part of the fourth with them.
Vada and Jaxson blowing bubbles..Jaxson may be having a little more luck!

Now the boys are doing it - with Vada trying to shut their heads in the cooler!
Vada's favorite new hobby- dumping, pouring, splashing..really anything that has to do with water.
This past week I went into Vada's room- thinking the kids were downstairs. I was surprised to find them in Vada's crib. I asked Jaxson, "how did Vada get in her crib?" He says. "oh she just climbed up and I flipped her over- that was the funnest part!"
They thought that they were soooo funny!
Summer is just flying by!! We are really enjoying our new van too- well maybe everyone except Vada. She has had a couple cases of getting car sick while riding in it..we are hoping that passes-SOON!. Presten started in the Buffalo branch this past week and he is doing great there! He was ready for a new adventure and I think he got one! My job is keeping me very busy this summer- there are some days I think I need to remind myself to breathe!
We hope that everyone is doing well- have a great week!! The Bean's
