Summer 2016

Nothing says summer like ice cream.

Oh, Oh...Gavin has o.d.'d on ice cream.  Preston and Kesleigh to the rescue.

Cool kids and cool water on a hot day.

Gavin: happy to be swimming

Special Balloons

Kesleigh had the great idea of sending a cupcake upward via balloons to honor Meghan's birthday.

They are all set ready to launch.

 

Just had to do some funny faces first.

The cupcake wouldn't lift off so a balloon release in triplicate was the next plan.

There they go!  Up, up...

...and away!
