Fun Summer

It's been a great summer so far! The kids absolutely love being outside and doing things. And there is so much to do around here. I think the kids favorite thing though, is just walking to the wading pool about a mile away from our apartment.
Some highlights so far were when Jacquelyn and Doug came for a visit. I guess I forgot to take pictures, but it was really fun! We went to Fort Snelling and looked at a bunch of cool stuff, and then we went to the Fort Snelling Cemetery to see Jacquelyn's grandfather's grave. We also went to Minnesota's largest candy store! It really fun! Jacquelyn found some candies that she used to eat when she was a kid that she hasn't seen in a long time. It was fun to show those to the kids. The kids each got to pick one thing from the candy store, Joslyn picked this giant lolly pop

 And Dorian picked out a bag of pretzel and cheddar gold fish haha!

A few days after they left was July 4th. Our ward had a brunch planned at a park, but it was super rainy and thunderstorming, so they moved it to the church. It was still really fun though. They played indoor kick ball, and Isaac's and Dorian's team won!
Later, the rain cleared up, and we were able to go to the firework show in Stillwater. They said this year it was the biggest firework show in the state. It was really cool. We got there at like nine, and just grabbed the first spot that we found. We thought the fireworks would be really far away, but they ended up being right in front of us!

The other day while we were playing at the park, an ambulence and police car showed up. Dorian really loved the sirens and lights and just before they left, one of the police officers gave the kids some sticker badges!
