Franklin Square

On Sunday, Nick and I took the boys downtown to Franklin Square to enjoy the beautiful (and cooler) weather, play on the playground and experience a "Square" burger.

Lincoln saying "hi" to one of his favorite things right now, animals.

Excited to be riding an elephant.

Nick's friend, John, from work lives near the park and came down to say hi.  Jon has no kids and I'm sure does not frequent the play ground.  However, he didn't hesitate to join Nick and Ben on the seesaw. :)

Carl's birthday

We went downtown on Saturday to celebrate Carl turning 4!  It's hard to imagine that it's been 4 years since the first baby joined our family!  As usual, it's tough to get anything where they are all looking in the same direction....  (shorts made by Kathy!)

Took of the shirts after a messy dinner and cupcakes.  Again, tried to get a picture of the boys but they had other plans.  Most pictures taken after this one revealed a little too much of Carl. :)

Daddy containing our little busy-bee.

Ben dressed up as a construction worker....this is what he has announced he wants to be when he grows up.  "A construction worker and a Dad."

Dutch Wonderland

Last Thursday, we took our 2nd annual trip to Dutch Wonderland (an amusement park geared to young kids) in Lancaster, PA.  Below are the cell phone pictures we took.  If you're a true Kray Happenings follower, there's a video at the bottom. 

The kids had an awesome time and we pushed Lincoln's schedule and didn't leave for home until about 3 PM.  I should note that while Ben was willing to do any ride last year, he decided that some of them "wiggle his tummy" and he didn't want to go on any more that did that.  This was after the "Frog Hopper" a roller coaster and an airplane that went in a quick ferris wheel motion.  We were selective with our ride choices after that.  Lincoln seemed psyched to go on any ride he was allowed on.  I'm thinking he's going to be our dare devil!

Smith Playhouse

Nick and I took the boys to Smith Playhouse today, which is basically a huge play ground.  The fire truck, the train and the big slide were by far the favorite places to play!

VA Trip

We went to VA last week for a visit.  Nick and I had my college roommate, Annie's, wedding to go to on Saturday so we stretched the trip a little on each end to spend some time with my mom and sisters.  There were too many pictures to put on here, so click below to see the entire album.

VA Summer 2012

All the pictures from the wedding are on my phone but it was a beautiful wedding with a gorgeous bride!  We had a blast visiting with the entire 750 crew.  Loved seeing all of you and congrats to Annie and Greg! :)

Brooke's Birthday

Brooke turned one on 8/10 and we went to her birthday party at the pool.  

Big siblings and the best of friends.

Little ones happily eating pizza.

Cake time!

Such a sweet face. :)  Happy birthday Brookie!
