I know this is looooonnngggg overdue - seeing as how it's a month later, but I wanted to make sure I updated you on the weekend. We all had a wonderful time spending the weekend with Grandma & Grandpa Blick, cousins, Aunt Dana and Uncle Ryan. Despite the heat, we took the boys to the zoo where I think Noah enjoyed spending more time with the statues than the actual animals. :-) Noah was very frightened of the gorillas and did not want to spend much time there - which was too bad as they were the most interesting. Ian spent a very brief time awake - he snoozed most of the time which was ok. After a few hours, everyone was cranky and ready for nap time. We spent the rest of the weekend at the house with family, which was perfect!
When we got home, we decided for the first time to put Ian in the "big kid" tub. Noah wanted to join him so we got a cute pic of the boys together. Something I will enjoy showing their girlfriends one day. :-)
Saturday we celebrated the 4th with lots of aunts, uncles and cousins. Grandma had folks over for dinner, then dessert. Grandma and Grandpa presented Mike with his b-day gift, which was the game, cornhole, which my uncles created for him. That night we had cornhole tournaments, and played for hours. It was a lot of fun!
Sunday we did another 4th of July celebration with the family. Noah was able to do some "fireworks". We discovered that they don't make sparklers like they used to - quite a let down actually. Noah still seemed to have a good time. Throughout both Saturday and Sunday night we were able to see fireworks, even though we didn't actually go anywhere to watch.
It was a great weekend with everyone. The boys got to spend some time with their Uncle Ryan who they don't get to see that often. Of course, after a few days, I think Uncle Ryan was thrilled to go back to Chicago and enjoy his nephews from a safe distance!
Cheers,
The Reichert Family
