Fourth of July Fun

Oh My Gosh! It is July 18th and I haven’t done a teampfeifer update in forever! I have been updating the photos on Flicker, but not adding them into the main body of the blog. Well the whole family has been busy trying to survive summer. I think it is the usual problem we all face – how to fit everything into a 24 hour day. Well let me just say – Jens manages to fit it all into a 24 hour day, usually by waking at 3:30 am every morning – yes people my child still wakes up way to freaking early! I haven’t even bothered to take a photo of it, because there is no sense in pretending to be happy at 4 am in the morning!

But anyways, onto the Fourth of July – since Jason had the day off of work, we went to the swimming pool with Kaleigh and Janice – as you can see by the picture – Jens loved the pool. We have been taking lessons for the last 3 weeks. Really we just pay some sweet college girl to sit in the pool and look bored while we “work on our skills” - but it is just about having fun and getting Jens used to the water.

Also if you look at the photos –you can see Jason’s farmer’s tan on his arm from his entire bicycle riding J

After going to the pool, we went to a Fourth of July party at some friends house – Jens wanted to play in the pool, so Jason helped him out with some dunking, which Jens thought was hilarious! Also Jens got to try and hit the piñata that they have for the kids every year.

Trip to Minnesota

We took a trip to Minnesota to visit the family in the middle of June and spent a week having fun. The entire family rode around Lake Calhoun with the cousins in the Burley trailer. Lily did a great job putting up with Jens who thought it would be fun to stick his fingers in her face.

Jens also had a fun time using Lily’s walker around the back porch.

We also had a great party at Grandma Betty’s for what would have been Grandpa Hearn’s 100th birthday – and a chance for dinner with Grandpa Pfeifer and Grandma Ci at their house
