Swimming off the boat

We have had some engine trouble with out boat this summer. We did have a few opportunities to get out on and go swimming off of it. We had so much fun packing a lunch and eating out on the lake and then swimming afterwards.


Jackson loved swimming in the "deep water" in his life jacket and his fish ring. We swam out there for an hour and more and he was happy as could be.

Can't wait for next summer when we can take Lainey out too.

Jackson's first movie in the theater

In our house, we love the Toy Story movies! So we were so excited to go see Toy Story 3 in the theater as Jackson's first movie in a theater. He loved it, although he did not keep the 3-D glasses on for most of the movie. I ended up taking him back a few weeks later and we saw in in non-3-D again.

Fishing with Keycoo

Jackson was so excited to use his new fishing pole for the first time with Keycoo. They went out in the evening and ended up catching 4 fish!! Jackson loved it :)

Cedar Point

Smucker's had a family day in June at Cedar Point. We thought it would be a great day to try to take Jackson. We were not sure that he would like all of the rides, and Mommy could not ride any of the rides at 7 months pregnant.

Jackson LOVED all of the rides, we had such a fun day. They were calling for storms and 95 degrees. The storms held off and it was a beautiful HOT day.

Snoopy race cars.

All Jackson talked about before out trip was taking a rocket ride. He was so excited to find the rocket, he rode this one a few times.

We cannot wait to go back again-Mommy can't wait to ride some of the rides with Jackson this time.

Wearing his "vintage" Poplars wear.

Jackson only liked swinging on his belly this summer. He pretended to be Superman.

Nature's Neighborhood at the Zoo

Jackson and I took a trip to the zoo. We had so much fun playing in the Nature's Neighborhood section. Jackson picked up rocks in the stream (and cooled off a bit in the refreshing water!)
