Fairport Harbor

Several members of our ward made a trip to Fairport Harbor on Tuesday, August 2nd.

In the background there is a large barge ship.

Maybe it was an oil tanker, I am not sure.

All I know is that it was really big and at the harbor

Ryan and Nathanial in the water.

Cute little Mily loved the water on her toes.

She LOVES the water

Nathanial and the sand

Christopher would rather play on the playground than play in the water.

I know she isn't happy but she is cute in her swimsuit!

We have had a great time with Ryan during his 2 week break!  We also decided that if it is windy it is better to go to Highland's Beach but if it is calm it is better to go to Fairport Harbor.

Block Party

On Saturday July 30th we had our annual Meadowbrook Block Party.  The road was closed from 10 AM to 9 PM so that the kids could ride their bikes and so they could set up in the street for all the festivities.

All in a row, Nathanial was enjoying playing with all the girls :)

Slip-n-slide

There was a "Corn Hole" tournament.  Ryan (who has played a few times) and our neighbor Paul (who has never played) were partners.

During the blcok party I only had Emily when she was hungry the rest of the time she was passed from one "grandma" to the next.

Emily and Sherry, who lives across the street from us.

And the "Corn Hole" continues.  All you have to do for Corn Hole is throw bean bag like bags into holes on the board or make it land on the board to receive points. If you want more details you can click here.

Ryan and Paul played Kate and her husband in Round 2: WIN!

It is a nail biter!

Ryan and Paul came from behind to score 13 points to win!

The Championship Round players with their alcohol (all except Ryan) :)

Ryan is the only one not drinking!

There were several musical instruments that were available for the kids to play, Nathanial chose the largest drum.

The Championship Round...

I am afraid to announce that Ryan and Paul lost the Championship. Their team was called "the Swan House" because Paul's house used to have very strange people living there that had a huge fake swan hanging over the front porch.

Still drumming

Christopher wanting to play the drums too.

All the kids playing the drums.  I was advised to buy Nathanial a drum, I am not sure about that.

Go Nathanial!

It was a fun day filled with friends and laughter!  It was nice to sit and talk with all the ladies and not worry about where the kids were.  We have a great neighborhood!

Go To SLEEP!!

Mommy, "Nathanial, go to sleep!"
Nathanial, "But I'm too tired!"
