Water Baby

On Saturday we went to the beach and had such a fun day. Gideon wasn't quite sure about the water at first but once he was in he loved it. The day was beautiful and we all enjoyed relaxing and playing at the beach. We even got to see some friends of ours, the Starr family too.

Gideon and Uncle Corey playing in the inner tube.

Gideon and his buddy Gabe swimming it up.

Gideon, Steve and I enjoying the cold water, well maybe not Steve. He said it was too cold.

Gideon's first time in the lake, at first he wasn't quite sure if he liked it.

Watching all the people playing and swimming.

Gideon absolutely loved sitting in his inner tube and did so good in the water.

He was a little fishy swimming in the big lake.

Independence Day

On Friday we were in Lake City for the greatest fourth in the north and celebrated the holiday with my mom and dad, brothers and sister in law and lots of extended family. We always go to the parade and then to a family picnic. We had such a good day and everyone oood and awed over Gideon. Here are some pictures of our fun day.

Gideon in his fourth of July outfit Aunt Penny got him. Totally appropriate it says "little firecracker".

My little nature lover. This is my new favorite picture.

Yankee Doodle Days

A few weekends ago our town celebrated Yankee Doodle Days and Gideon, Mom and I went down to watch the parade, go to the duck race and see the sights around town. We had so much fun although it was a little rainy and we missed the duck race (they started without us, can you believe that?). Here are some pictures of our day.

A parachuter landed directly on the bridge, what accuracy!

Here he is getting help with his parachute.

Grandma and Gideon cheering at the parade. (Sorry mom I didn't know your eyes were closed when I took the picture).

The little bunny that lives in our yard even made an appearance. He is so cute!

Fathers Day!

On Sunday we went to visit Grandpa Slocum and Gideon got to spend the day outside and relax together. Gideon and Grandpa swinging on the hammock.

Steve and Gideon on his first fathers day. He is such a good Daddy!

On Saturday we had a great Father's day at our house with the whole Dontje family. It was such a beautiful day and we were able to get outside to sit and relax.

Dad opening his electric grill cleaner. Tim Allen would be proud.

Grandpa playing with Gideon on the floor.
