I love this picture- it so perfectly shows how Hunter loves to do anything Rich is doing.

She looks happy to be here!

Hailey came to meet her new sister and found some gifts waiting for her.

Hunter found some gifts for him too.

Hailey was very excited to hold Harper!

Hunter loves being a big brother!

My parents held their annual 4th of July extravaganza.

We had a fun afternoon at the park:

Fun in the water

Hailey loves swimming!

Hailey went to a dance camp this month, which she loved!  On the last day they did a little performance to show us some of what they had learned.

Hailey and Hunter reading together.

Rich with Hailey and Hunter on Father’s Day- he’s wearing the tie that Hailey made for him at church.

Hailey learned to ride her bike!  We live on a hill, so she doesn’t ever have a chance to practice riding her bike.  We took her to a nearby school one day with a nice flat area to learn and off she went!

We celebrated my dad’s birthday.

Hailey and Hunter helped him blow out his candles.

Hunter enjoys doing Tot School with me while Hailey does her school work.  He is working on learning his letters- he does recognize some of them, but we need to keep working on that.

Hunter knows all of his colors and he loves coloring.

He loves it when Hailey reads to him.

Books are one of his favorite things.

I just had to share this picture to show the Mickey and Minnie that he is holding in his hand.  He brings those everywhere! He loves his little Mickey and Minnie.

Hunter is so much fun!  I think this age has to be one of my favorites.  He talks non stop and tells all sorts of stories.  If anyone asks him about Disney World he will talk and talk about our trip that we took- he’ll tell all about the characters we saw, the rides he went on, and what he liked and didn’t like.  He loves playing with all of his different Disney figures that he has- he uses different voices for all of his toys and has such an active imagination.  He is a super sweet and loving little boy!!

Hunter is 30.6 pounds and is 36.5 inches tall.  He wears size 2 T clothes.

Our hotel had an indoor water park.  We have been to the Great Wolf Lodge before, so I think we were all kind of expecting it to be like that.  It was much smaller, but still a lot of fun.

There was also an amusement park across the street, which Hailey and Hunter loved!  Since I’m about 7 months pregnant I couldn’t actually go on any of the rides.  But it was still fun to watch Hailey and Hunter have fun.

Rich and Hailey ready to ride…

I can’t believe my little miss is all the way up there!

A mini version that Hunter could ride.  He looks very nervous.

Hunter did not like it!

Hailey was awesome and went on all the little kiddie rides with Hunter.

Playing in the little houses

Checking out the village

It was pretty hot out so we decided to head back to our hotel to try out the water park.

Hailey trying out the surfing.

Hunter loved the water slides in the toddler area.

Later that evening we got ready for story time- Hunter did not want to wear his pajamas out of our hotel room, so he wore his clothes to story time.

Scooby Doo helped out with the story.

Hunter and Hailey posing with Scooby.

The next day, we headed back to the theme park for more fun:

We saw Scooby as soon as we got there.

Hailey posed with a Sasquatch.  Hunter didn’t want anything to do with him.

Riding the trucks

Tea cups

Fun little car ride

Rich and Hailey on the Comet.

The water area at the theme park.

We played for a little while there.

Afterwards we did a few more rides and then went back to our hotel for more fun in the indoor water park.  It was pretty empty and Haiely and Hunter were able to just do what they wanted without waiting.  They had a very fun weekend and even though all of the walking was really hard on me, I was glad I agreed to be spontaneous!
