Cooperstown 2.0

Last week we traveled to Cooperstown, New York with Jay's family.  We were also there two years ago when Lily was ten months old.  Our nephew, Brian, was in a baseball tournament at the HUMONGOUS Cooperstown Dreams Park (100 teams play in a tournament EVERY WEEK!), and Jay's parents also like to take us back because they used to live there.  We stayed in a wonderful (perhaps haunted?) house with Mom and Dad Printz, Tracy and Brian, and Hope and her friend Beth.  We saw a lot of baseball, visited the Farmers' Museum, the beach, played mini-golf, ate a lot and much more.  We all had a great week.  I was also pleasantly surprised that Lily was a VERY good girl on the 11 hour drive!

Only one week of summer left--where does the time go??

The Hydes Came to Visit!

Over the last weekend of July our friends from Michigan came to stay with us: Rich and Angela, and their daughters, Julia and Anna.  On Friday night, the girls enjoyed playing in the kiddie pool on our deck while the adults enjoyed a delicious steak dinner and tried to stay cool!

On Saturday morning we packed things up and headed to the zoo!  It was very HOT, but we all had a lot of fun.  We especially enjoyed cooling off during the Dora 4-D movie!

We were sad to see them go on Sunday...we hope to make this a new summer tradition!  Lily especially had a blast with the girls--we can't wait to see the Hydes again soon!
