More random photos.......

Some photos of the kids on various statues around the zoo.

Casey loves the tigers-the big kitty cat. It was quite warm while we were there, and as you can see the he/she got hot and decided to sit in the water and get a drink at the same time.

Kyle loves penguins, so here are photos of them.

We did go to the Toledo Zoo one day. It was cloudy in Findlay, but sunny there. The kids had a wonderful time. The next few photos will be of our tour through the zoo.

This is apparantly a huge see saw. I am on one side and Casey and Aunt Kristi are on the other. It is a workout to make that move up and down. We all had a blast playing on it!

The kids are doing some rock climbing at the playground we stopped at for the kids. I have to say this is one of the best playgrounds that I have been to. They had a good time.

We were on our way to see the park where we had camping plans, and decided to stop and take photos. Casey and Kyle are first, Keith and Aunt Kristi are second, and last are all the girls.

Our afternoon at bowling

Even though it rained most of the time while we were there, we still had a good time. We decided to try our hand at bowling one day and these are some pictures of the kids. Casey is either excited or trying to get her ball to go in a certain direction, and Kyle-well he just moved to quick for me to get a photo of him. My camera doesn't do well in dim lights, so his photo is kind of dark.

Aunt Kristi and Nana found this train ride while they were riding around Findlay, so while we were out seeing the sights of Findlay, we drove by and they were running. Casey and Kyle both got to ride and really had a good time.

Lighting Bugs

On one of the evening while we were there, we hung out on the deck out in her backyard and the kids caught lightning bugs. They both had a wonderful time. Keith and I enjoyed letting the play until dark without having to use bug spray for mosquitos. The temps were very nice and cool.

Water Time

Our first trip was to Findlay, Ohio to see their Aunt Kristi. Kyle had his first memorable flight on an airplane-he really enjoyed it-and Casey added another one to her travels. We arrived in the mid-afternoon in Detroit and drove to Findlay-which is about 2 hours away. After we arrived, we set up the sprinkler to let the kids unwind while the adults visited. They seemed to have a good time.

Well, it has been a long, yet short summer for all of us. School time is nearing and I thought I would share some photos of the trips we took this year. Sometimes summer just isn't long enough. Casey will be in the 3rd grade and Kyle starts kindergarten this year. The kids are growing up so fast. Anyway, photos are to follow, please enjoy!!
