A June recap

June seemed to come and go.

So here is the month in pictures (because that is what everyone wants to see anyway).

Aunt Rah Rah got tickets to our local AAA team the Dayton Dragons. We took the boys who had a blast and enjoyed way to many baseball food treats!

The next day we welcomed our cousins for a visit from Germany. Sean and Nikolai bonded instantly and made the kind of memories that childhood only allows. They enjoyed a trip to the local kids museum and then the local amusement park Kings Island. Cousin Erin has grown into a beautiful young lady and had a blast hanging out with the kids and she can read at a fifth grade level too (and she is only eight!).

Here are the kids enjoying a local park fountain. This is Nik and Sean

Its COLD!

Oksana getting splashed

Snowcones for ALL!

And now a trip into Grandpa's spooky creek... who knows what lurks below( I do because I have seem them growing up- snakes, crawfish, turtles, leeches and other creepy things) but Vitaly is the first to go in...

and safe!

The rest venture in..

and last but not least

Miss O makes it slowly through the murky waters

We ended the weekend with an awesome family cookout (which was held at my house with about 35 people and rain but I forgot to take pics) and then the finale at grandpa's sparklers!
