Joys of July

July has brought some new friends our way. The Thun's moved to Kingston to start the Podiatry Residency at Benedictine, and we've been taking full advantage of having kids the same age. Liberty and Jack are both 2 1/2 ; Lyv and Kennedi are both 1. We've been having a great time with them.
Jack and Libby after a big day outside, and then both playing their favorite game: ANGRY BIRDS.

Jack has been having a hard time sitting down for dinner... so Shawn came up with a solution. Duct Tape. Jack thinks this is a game, and didn't do much better eating, but he sure thinks its funny. Shawn got it out again today, and Jack said, "Are we playing that game again!" "I love this game." I'm pretty sure that isn't the result we were looking for. Sam loved Kung Fu Panda 2 - so he made the kids Panda eyes the other morning. They looked pretty cute.

In a minor down side... while we were in Palmyra one of the boys left the hose running and it ran our well dry. Luckily it didn't burn up the pump, but it has caused us to be VERY conservative with water... a bummer since it has been so hot lately. Thankfully the Thun's have a swimming pool at their place, and we've been able to cool off with them.

We took the kids blueberry picking in Kerhonkson. The farm had a petting zoo and fun wooden tractors and trucks for the kids to play on. Our picking was hit and miss, since Jack ate all of his berries, and Sam used his for ammo to hit his buddy Tyler. Oh well, they had fun!
