There has been only one word to describe this Summer in the Midwest.....hot! We have been trying to stay cool and not live in the air conditioning. In early July, we did our annual trip back to WI to see family. It is always a good time. As Brett is getting older I think he is enjoying it more and more every year because there are so many fun things to do like go to the lake, Wisconsin Dells, the minor baseball park, go to the pool, and more. Here's some of the highlights:
Grandma and Grandpa Mo got Brett a little Lightening McQueen paddleboard that he loves. He was so happy that morning in the water with Kristin, being pulled around the pool. We have since used it in our little backyard pool with Brett standing on it like he is surfing and then purposely falling down.
The only age when it is cool to wear a matching swimsuit like your dad!
We had some "snaps" that we gave the kids for the 4th. A big hit!

Brett's first sparkler in Grandpa and Grandma Bingham's backyard. He had fun holding it and swirling it around. Although, when we got back to MI, we noticed there were small burn holes in his swimming suit.....I'm guessing it was from the sparklers. Please don't turn us in to the authorities.
Is there anything better than ice cream on a hot Summer night!
No trip to central WI is complete without a trip to the Dells....and if you are in the Dells you might as well take a Duck tour. It was hot that day but Brett still talks about going on the Duck ride that took us through the tunnel of trees and on the Wisconsin River.
We officially got Brett and his cousin Lily to smile at the same time for a picture.

As a final update, I just measured Brett yesterday and he has grown about 3" since his 2nd birthday. We also were wondering why his shoes weren't fitting so well lately. We got him new shoes in the Spring with "plenty of room to grow". Apparently not!
