The Rest of July

Settle in for lots of pictures from July.  We spent a Sunday morning with friends at the Magic House.  Charlie checked himself out in the mirror.

Then he found Mommy and her camera in the mirror!

Jack and Patrick wore their matching shirts as they played with their friend Andrew.

Jack's best buds from preschool came over for a playdate.

 I am not sure what is going on here, and I think Josephine and Patrick are equally unsure.

 Our family wore green for National Fragile X Awareness Day and to support our good friend Abe and his amazing family. To learn more about Fragile X, you can read my friend Amy's blog.

Jim took this picture of me with our 3 favorite boys.

Our nephews came down from Wisconsin for a visit.  We had a lot of fun with them!

Everyone wore their Australia shirts to the Magic House one morning, and then back to our house for lunch.

Patrick, Charlie, and I joined them at the Botanical Gardens another morning (Jack was in summer camp).  The favorite thing to do at the Gardens was to play in the fountains.

When you jump on this thing, water sprays around you.

Just a random picture of this cutie:

We got a ping pong table (for free!) and keep it in the garage.  We can pull it out onto the driveway to play.  Patrick wants to play a lot and calls it "king kong."

"Why do they stick me in this stroller while they play table tennis?"

Adults vs. Kids:

This particular Sunday afternoon was awesome!  The weather was great and we didn't have any plans.  We spent a lot of time playing outside together and relaxing.  What wonderful memories!

A couple attempts at a self-portrait:

"They let me out of the stroller!!!"

A much better picture of us (with the help of my tripod).

SO happy!

The next day, I took the boys to the Museum of Transportation.  We rode the train twice and then played in the Creation Station.

On our second trip around the track, Jack and Patrick got to say "All Aboard!"

They sure have some tasty toys at the Creation Station.

All three Kelly boys playing at the same train table!
