New York Visit 2012

We made our annual visit to NY this August.  The girls (as always!) had a blast!  They swam and swam and swam in Nana and Pop's pool.  We have two little fish!  Braenna even learned to swim under water without her life jacket...quite the accomplishment for her!  The girls also got a lot of time with their cousin Max who was there the whole time we were this year.  Aunt Jen, Uncle Johnny and Ethan even came to see us while we were there!
 
The highlight of the trip for the girls this year though was their first ever visit to the ocean.  We went to Bradley Beach on the Jersey Shore and they had a BLAST!  Mikaiya loved the water from the moment we arrived.  Braenna took a little time to warm up to it, but ended up having a blast as well!  We will definitely have to make this a tradition!

Sun Prairie Sweet Corn Festival

We got to be in town this year for both the Sweet Corn Parade and the Sweet Corn Festival.  The girls had a balst at both!  This was their first Sweet Corn Parade and the first time they've ever been to a parade where they threw out candy.  It was a hit (surprise, surprise)!

 This was our second year at the Sweet Corn Festival and we will definitely make it a yearly tradition.  There is a fair, bounce house, and LOTS of yummy sweet corn!
 
Who doesn't take their kid's pictures in front of a large blow up ear of corn?

Ready to go on the swings!
