We visited my family in GR last weekend. I had fun taking some photos of my little niece, Quinn. I think she is adorable, but I might be a little biased. 🙂

Easter 2015
November – Nephew Tyler
Here are a couple of recent photos I took of our nephew Tyler. Â He is growing up!
Love that smile!
Fun in Dundee
Last weekend, we spent a couple of days with my family in Dundee at the Splash Universe indoor waterpark.  It was quite the waterpark! 
Mom & Susan enjoy the slides.
After getting pizza at a little shop in downtown Dundee, Uncle Paul gave the nephews each a dollar for the “play to win” machine.
Then we went geocaching. Â 
A nice shot of my dad.
Downtown Dundee is really cute!
A photo of the whole family.
Hanging out in the Cabela’s store.
Splat! like the bear.
Hanging out in the arcade area at the waterpark.
Lance was pretty good at playing this truck arcade game.
Tallying up the tickets.
Playing with the prizes: little plastic frogs.
Wedding Shower
I went to a wedding shower for Paul’s cousin last weekend. Â It turned out to be a very nice event!
This little one was anxious to see the presents get opened!
Paul’s cousin received a lot of very nice gifts.
She loved all the bows from the gifts.
She was allowed to open this one all on her own!
Then she wanted to pose for her own photo! Â What a cutie.
Fridge Artwork
Our visiters from last week are long gone, but they left behind some beautiful artwork for us to enjoy!
Fossil Finding
There is a park near Toledo where you can find and take home fossils. Â We thought this might be something my nephews might enjoy, so we visited there with our visitors last week.
This employee proudly showed off his fossil collection to us.
Then we started some digging ourselves.
We did manage to find a few brachiopod fossils, which look a lot like shells. Â The boys mostly had fun running around and climbing the dirt piles.
They were pretty dirty by the time we were done!
Fun Around Town
Last weekend with our visitors, we took a few walks around town, visiting the coffee shop, Ben Franklin store, library, etc.
We sat on a bench to drink our coffees, and this is the madness that ensued.  🙂 Dalton had fun being silly by the brick building:
Then Lance thought he should join the fun:
What silly nephews!
Fun at the Imagination Station
On the Fourth of July, we visited the Imagination Station — the science museum for kids where Paul now has a job.
Here, Dalton mimics the image on the window from the Grossology exhibit.
Playing Operation!
Lance LOVED the play area where he could dress up as a firefighter.
I think Dalton liked the grocery store area the best. Â Notice how full his cart is!
We took a break at lunchtime to eat outdoors.
Another exhibit in the museum.
We even witnessed a science experiment involving liquid nitrogen and tons of little plastic balls!
What a fun day! Â Later that night, Dalton asked three times: “Can we go back to the museum?”
A Day at the Community Pool
My sister, brother-in-law, and two nephews came down to visit us for a few days last week. Â On Wednesday, we visited the newly re-built community pool.
Family photo!
Brothers.
Playing in the Sprayground area:
Enjoying the Lazy River. Notice that little Lance is sleeping in my sister’s arms.
We had perfect weather for a day at the pool!
