Hanging with the Smith Boys

Josh's sister and family moved back to Indiana this summer, and on one of their house hunting trips, they brought the boys up to stay with us and Josh's parents for about a week. The boys had so much fun spending so much time with their cousins and we did lots of fun stuff!





They were all so happy to see each other!
















Wandering around campus.










We had lots of arguing over who would sleep with who. They ended up pretty much switching every night.





I checked on them one night to see this adorableness.
















Hanging at the city pool. Video of the boys cannonballing at the White's pool.






Lots of rain one morning led to puddle jumping fun.
















We take advantage of the free lunch program our community has in the summer. The kids love going!






Smiling so nicely for me.




Watching the petting zoo show provided by the county fair. Video of the boys touching an armadillo.










Ike and Zac posing with the sunflowers.




Beach boys.






Riding the killer waves at Mississinewa.






Organ touching program at the fair.







Checking out the huge tractors.






Gotta see how tall the corn grows.






Pigs.





Riding one of two rides that were cool enough but not terrifying looking.














On Wednesday we took a trip to the Fort Wayne Zoo with Josh's mom, grandma, and cousin.

Giraffes.





Waiting to ride the train.






Grandma Mary and Meranda.





Shark attack.














They smiled for me!

















Wednesday was also Caleb's 7th birthday!





Dave making sure Zac and Ike didn't blow out Caleb's candles.














The boys all went to stay with Josh's parents for the last two nights of their visit. This is the kids playing in a river in Logansport.

Mid-Summer Happenings

We had a couple weeks between vacation and having the Smith boys come stay, so here's what we were up to! We mostly hung around campus since Josh worked quite a bit during that time.







They can be so cute sometimes!


















Playing at the campus splash walk with Kyson.








Ike only got a teeny bit muddy.





Water balloon fight with Dave's friends. Here's a video of the chaos! 





More pool time.






We finished Chamber of Secrets! I have absolutely loved reading Harry Potter to them and I think they feel the same way.





I went with Theresa and Zoe to see 16 Candles. It was a beautiful night!




Victory Royale with Augie.





A lot of popsicles were eaten this summer!
