Father's Day, Beach Day & Phone time

 Daddy was in Poland for 10 days so we had to welcome him back!
 I'll sneak up on him Parks.
 Just kidding, you're on your own.
Happy Father's day!
Those clouds are not looking so good.  
 Just a little more time in the water.
 I laugh in the face of a storm.
 The beach tent is holding up to the wind...
 Mom, I have to take this call.
 Hello?
 Really?
Oh I just can't believe it! 
(They grow up so fast!)

Minnesota!

We made it to the Johnson Home!
 Ingrid is ready to share with Corbin! 
Mom, they have balls in MN too!
Henry and I were bonding over books.  He can read! Be back in a few days headed to Aunt Tiny's
I'm not sure about this bear mom...
At the camper with Uncle Wayne. What's going on over there?
Look Corbin, There are little beds here!
See my band-aides from the kitty scratching me... I might have been bugging him...
Jessica with the kids!
I have a new best friend!

I'm on a mission...
Josh, your shoe lases need some attention.
Wait Jess... Let me explain...
Perfect I fixed it!
What do you think you are doing?  They were perfect.
I'll pretend I don't want to cuddle Aunt Tiny.
It is a hard life keeping everyone so entertained.
Parade time!
I've got candy in my purse! They just threw it on the ground!
Cuddle time with Great-Grandpa!
I'm not going to miss out on cuddles too!
Great-Grandma are you going to drop me?
Corbin looks relaxed.
Swing time
I can't let Parker have all the fun.
It's very green here.  Also very cold for June!
I bet I can get more flowers than you Corbin.
We must take time to smell the flowers!
Thanks for letting us visit Summer family!
All this fresh air is making me sleepy.
 Back to the action at the Johnson's house.
 Let me help you Henry.
Snack Time
Never a dull moment with 4 kiddos!
 Good Cracker!
 My Katie that's a lot of blankets!  Nothing like an ER visit to make our trip unforgettable!
 The nursing staff even gave me a blanket.  Kate survived her visit and was back home in a day. 
 Color time.
 Book time.
Outside time!  Look Katie is back and enjoying the sun!
 I think I can pull this...
Henry can pull 2 kids. 
Ingrid decided not to brave the ride.
 Story time with Todd.
 2 kids under the table.
 Parker tells Henry a story.
Look Out! 
Parker and Cinderella
Sand box! 
I have tools!
Very busy
 CUPCAKE!!!
 I like the frosting
So yummy!
 All gone!
Better clean up before we head out!
Sharing one last story with Ingrid.  
Thanks for such a great and memorable trip.  Wish it has been a bit warmer!  See you all again soon!
