Hamika Goes Up Cannon Mt.'s Tramway

We decided to take the girls to Cannon Mt. and up the tramway. We explained it as a bus going along a telephone wire...the girls seemed to be impressed.

When we arrived, they saw the trams coming and going and got really excited.



Hannah and Mia surprisingly, enjoyed the heights and sights. Kayla was not as joyous. She kept pointing to get off...even when we got back on for our descent.



At the top, we were able to go for a little hike towards an observation tower, but we were wearing sandles and only made it part way. We stopped and took a look at the scenery...beautiful.

Fisher Cats: Take Me Out To The Ball Game

We took Papa and Grandpa to the Fisher Cats baseball game for a Father's Day present. We all had a great time!
Papa treated the girls to hats and sponge gloves.


Grandpa treated the girls to snacks (popcorn, french fries, and beer)

Ellacoya Beach

On Friday, July 11, 2008 we met Gramma and Grandpa and the Robbins for a fun day at Ellacoya.

We started off at Gramma's school. The 5 cousins on the ship.

How much fun...to make mud! It was a group effort although we had to watch out when Kayla was mixing it up.

Friends at the Park

We met our friends at the park to have a picnic, to walk around the lake and to play. There were a lot of us and we had a great time!

Fireworks at the Silveira's

We had a 4th of July BBQ Party since we can see the fireworks from our deck. It was so exciting and the kids had a great time.

The Pedone's are always great fun! We love all our memories together.

Hannah loves the fireworks! She is going to be 5 years old soon.

Our 2nd floor tenants are moving in this Saturday, so we were able to have double viewing.

Congratulations to Shauna, Norm, and Adam on their new baby girl - Harper! She is a cutie.

Strawberry Picking

Daddy's first day off from school so we went starwberry picking together and had a great time.

Kayla did more eating then picking of stawberries.
