Swimming, Biking, and a Birthday Party

Well, I'm already behind on my blogging for the summer! I can't believe how fast summer is flying by.
So far, our summer has been busy.
Saturday mornings are spent at parent/toddler swimming lessons (very cold here on our first Saturday in early June!)

Miles prefers to catnap on the pool deck while Jonas swims.

We've also been doing some biking. Ben has to alter his biking expectations a bit when Robyn and Jonas tag along, but I think we all still have fun. Miles is still too little to ride in the bike trailer, so we have to find something for him to do while we're out.

Here we are on Father's Day at Grandma and Grandpa's after our bike ride. The highlight was seeing three bald eagles in their nest along the Cannon Valley Trail. Apparently, it made quite an impact on Jonas because the following week when we pulled into the parking lot of a different bike trail in Lanesboro, Jonas announced "I'm going to see eagles, mommy."

Miles is turning out to be another happy little boy...and seems to be growing even faster than I remember! He's always so smiley!

And, finally, last weekend we had Jonas's belated birthday party. Well worth the wait, I think. Here's cousin Noelle helping Jonas prep for the candle-blowing event!

Jonas got a picnic table from Grandma and Grandpa...

squirt guns from Uncle Nic (just wait 'til he has kids some day!)

and a basketball hoop from Papa and JuJu.

He is really ready for the rest of summer...T-ball from Uncle Russ, Aunt Jenn, Noelle, and Joshua and a cool sprinkler from Ryan and Emily will give us lots of choices for summer activities! And lots of opportunities for more photos!
