Alexandra's Photography

Alexandra has been getting hold of the camera lately so here are several of her pieces of art. Someday she will be as good as Adrian!








Trip Home Via Chicago

We thought why not travel four hours northeast and stop by our friend Eric's place on our way home. It was a good idea in theory but the car ride was getting a little rough. We had to take lots of breaks!
Doesn't it look like these girls just love each other?
Addison is not scared of her older sister one bit.
We went with Eric to Lake Michigan. This is actually at Sand Dunes
National Park in Indiana not too far from Eric's new house.
Addison was the only brave one to take a dip in the freezing cold water.
Alexandra loved making a castle with Eric.
She has begged to go to the beach ever since.

St. Louis Trip

Well, now that I have "permission" to go ahead with this blog I will do my best to get everyone up-to-date. The end of June we all went to St. Louis for Tony's School Leadership Conference. While Tony was in classes all day, we had a lot of fun at my aunt and uncle's house and around St. Louis.

The girls ate a ton of ice cream....





and then would hose off in the backyard.




One day Alexandra and I went to a water park and spent the afternoon swimming and relaxing on the "Lazy River." Another day was spent at the St. Louis Zoo. The three of us did pretty well considering it was hot and then started to rain on our way out of the zoo. The girls had a fun time and slept the 40 minutes back to my aunt and uncle's.
