The Boskovich Family invaded Wisconsin again this summer and packed in as much fun as we could. We stayed put this year in Milwaukee at my parents house instead of traipsing all over the midwest so it was a very relaxing and fun trip. Here are the kids with our dear Barbara. Barbara watched Amelia and Luke when we lived in Indiana back when I still worked (outside the home). The kids and I were thrilled to see her and Addison took to her also.
Cuddle time with Grandma Nancy.
My sister Amy came over to our parent's house a couple of times which is always a blast. Amelia and Luke love playing with Annie and Evan and now even Addison wanted to tag along. Addison gave lots of love to Annie and Evan but she especially loved Evan and kept sitting on his lap and rubbing his curly hair.
The girls in cute matching dresses Grandma Nancy bought them.
My great friend Stacey (my college roomate and sorority sister) and her kids came across Lake Michigan on the ferry to visit with us for a few days. Our kids had a fun time running around together and Stacey and I got to catch up and laugh about old times. Ahh, the college years.
Playing on the rocks after a fun day at the children's museum and filing their bellies with ice cream.
So cute, even Addison is saying, "Cheese."
A little swim time.
Playing with Grandma at The Village Club. Amelia and Luke got to teach Addison about the treat time. When the whistle blows for adult swim, Grandma buys the grandkids a treat, popsicles for everyone!
Addison loves to swim and walked back and forth between the baby pool and intermediate pool. We would count 1,2,3 and she would jump into our arms. Toward the end she would just run off the edge of the deck into the pool yelling, "Three!" I guess she thought she would just cut to the chase and get to the good part.
We had some big accomplishments this year, jumping off the diving board for the first time! Go Luke!
This was Mimi's first time off the diving board too but she made Luke go first of course, she is always very cautious.
We were lucky to go to Chicago for an overnight with our sweet friends the Ruzas, our neighbors from Indiana. We surprised Amelia and Luke and the kids hit it off just like old times. It was such a wonderful visit with wonderful friends.
Addison at "The Bean."
Hanging out under The Bean.
Playing in the fountains at Millennium Park.
Amelia and Abby about to go into American Girl Place. They were so excited!
Even big girls love American Girl Place. The girls each picked out a favorite outfit for their dolls.
Luke and Sam would not be outdone, off to the Lego store for the boys!
Of course Luke picked out a Star Wars lego set for his treat but it had to be small enough to fit in a suitcase.
Addison played with Legos forever.
More hotel pool swimming. I think if the kids had their choice they would have swam the whole time in the city. It was 7pm before we remembered, hey we better have some dinner!
The morning we woke up in Chicago, it was Father's Day so Daddy got lots of hugs and love.
Marcie and I by the Chicago River.
Oh how our family has grown since we lived here. The apartment Steve and I lived in was about a block behind where we are standing. We were up on the 28th floor and of course had no kids!
Do you see it? Yup, it's Addison Street.
After Chicago we headed back to my parent's to celebrate Father's Day with my parents and my sister's family. Happy Father's Day Dad.
Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Jon with the kiddos, we were just missing Max.
Happy Father's Day Grandpa!
Happy Father's Day Daddy, now Daddy is all set...Cubs jersey, Bears jersey and a Blackhawk jersey.
I also got to visit with some of my friends from grade school and high school which is always pretty special. Look at all those cute kids we've had.
Jamie, on the left, and I have been friends since we were 9 years old and Mary and I have been friends since high school. Where has the time went? It was great catching up with old friends and meeting new babies we have had since last time :)
