Over the weekend I was in Wisconsin, we all packed up the cars (yes, it takes 2 cars for all of us to go anywhere!) and went down to Rockford. My mother was born and raised in this town--in fact my grandfather still lives in the house he built in 1947. 
How many people do that any more? This picture is with my sister & me and our cousin, Jacquie. Other other two cousins, Sue & Chris couldn't make it to the BBQ. There's just 5 of us girls on my mom's side of the family!We had a family get together at my mom's Aunt & Uncle's house. They have a pool--which Faith & Avery love! We had fried chicken and lemonade and the weather even cooperated! My mom played with Avery in the pool and
started saying "1, 2, 3, Go!" and then would throw Avery in the air. She would do it about 7 or 8 times and then need a rest. Well, Avery learned a new word--"go!" and then she would look at my mom like "What are you waiting for lady?" Faith had a great time playing with Aunt Connie in the pool. She loves Aunt Connie! The picture here is Aunt Connie & Faith after we ate dinner. I just love this picture! It's fun to see Faith making so many fun memories with Aunt Connie because Aimee & I have lots of fond memories with her, too!
On Saturday, we all went to a large water park. We went to one last year and Faith has basically been asking Aimee for an entire year to go again! We met up with Aunt Connie again and Aimee's friend, Diane & her son Andrew were there too. We had great fun--ALL DAY! 8 Hours of water park!
Faith was able to go on most of the rides at this water park. They had a number of slides she could go down and then a few adult slides she couldn't. The week
before we went to a pool in Milwaukee and Faith couldn't go on any of the slides because she was about 1/4 of an inch too short! She was a real trooper that night though and had lots of fun on the slides she could go on at this water park!Avery loved this water park too. They had a good kids section where she could wade in the water and a not-so hot hot tub she liked, too! By next summer she'll be running around even more with her sister!
About every 5 minutes this large bucket of water would splash down on top of the slides. At first Faith was a bit scared of it--understandably so. But then we got caught at the top & got drenched and she kind of liked it. It was a TON of water!

I love the picture of you holding Avery in the "hot" tub--so cute! You're going to be a great mom someday! :-)
Must be a testament to how much Aimee & I look alike--it's actually my sister! :) Thanks for the compliment though!
