Summer Is Here!

We had a great Memorial Day Weekend!  We traveled to Aunt Liz's house in Tampa.  Mommy and Mimi traveled on to Key West with Aunt Liz, Mr. Ben and Grandma Judy to do some wedding recon work for the weekend and Daddy and I stayed in Tampa.  
 The weather was HOT!  We spent a lot of time at the beach and pool!
 Key West was just as HOT!  We spent some time at the beach and pool when we weren't working on wedding planning!
 Some relaxing time with Mr. Ben
 Beach time with my shovel and bucket and the sand!
 We had to take a boat in Key West to the Sunset Key Cottages where we were staying.  How cool is that!  So I enjoyed watching the the guys drive boat each time we rode it!
 Daddy and I had a LOT of fun at Legoland...I did not make it out of the parking lot before passing out asleep!
 Me and a Lego R2-D2
 Loved the cars!
 Long morning of wedding planning makes for a very tired girl!
 Another great Key West view!
 "The Man" at Legoland...

 Uncle Dan buried in the sandcastle...he goes with us wherever we go!
 A bit of a snack to recharge at the beach.
 Resting up before the big trip!
 Hydrating before the big trip with our new Dora Sno Cone Maker!
Prepping for the big trip with some pool swimming and fun!

Happy 50th Anniversary Grandpa Wayne and Grandma Judy!

 Nap time!  Daddy was pretty miserable since he chose the trip to Chicago as the perfect time to pass a kidney stone!  Good News!  He passed it the morning of the party for Grandma and Grandpa!
 The 50th Anniversary party was held in a huge suite at the Kane County Cougars baseball stadium
 Cousins!  Here we are...all in age order...(Mimi, Hank, Eva, Olivia, Anna, Nathan, Thomas, Joey, Cindy, Benjamin, Rene and Ryan...whew!)
 The Happy Couple....50 Years!
 Mimi enjoying some s'mores...thanks to Uncle Frank's great idea!
 I am enjoying some s'mores too!
 A look down at everyone enjoying the fire pit and s'mores fun!
Renewing their vows at Sunday Mass!

I had my adenoids out today and everything went very well!  I got to wear this fun blue "dress"...but everything after that was not so much fun.  But now I get lots of attention and popsicles...who could ask for more?
