Busy Summer

We've had a busy, fun-filled summer and I can hardly believe it is already Labor Day! We've spent lots of time outside this summer! We've taken bike rides and trips to the park. We've spent time at Hess Lake, Silver Lake, and Lake Michigan. We've had play dates, pool time, and even went Downtown Holland for the Street Performers. In the middle of all of this, Blake turned 1, has started taking steps, and has begun to build his vocabulary (truck, ball, uh-oh, wee, boat, clock, pretty (pretty = flowers)). Below are some highlights from the summer...
