HIGHLIGHTS!

In July, we all took a trip to Mackinac Island, Michigan, for James' grandparent's 50th anniversary, then went to Ohio to see the rest of our families.

James' parents treated us to a day at the Cleveland Zoo!  Emma especially loved seeing all the animals up-close. We also took the girls to an old carousel in Mansfield where Emma just had to ride all the different cats, and a couple horses.

At Joy's parents' house, we enjoyed a relaxing visit, playing in the backyard, BBQing, and watching Emma's Opa build a fort out of a refrigerator box.

The girls' Great-Opa and Great-Grandmother flew in from Michigan for a week to meet Anna, visit, and take a four-generation photo.

Anna finally got to meet her Aunt Susan and they hit it off quite well!

Aunt Laurel and Emma are quite the jokers, and had a lot of fun together.

Once we returned to the Dak, the girls were more than happy to pose for a summer picture. They both seem to "know" when the camera is out & they are the subject of a photo -- naturals!
