They don't look too excited here, but I promise, they were!
Isabel's been doing gymnastics for a couple of years now, and it's been really fun to see her grow stronger and more confident. This summer they worked on some new tricks which was really fun.
Gumma and Gogo were so nice to treat the Quinn and Livesay kids to a trip to Burlington for Circus Smirkus! What a great show. A circus put on by kids. They were SO talented and the kids had a great time watching all the talent and tricks. Emma and Dana had a little bit of a hard time paying attention the whole time (it was quite a long show), but a great time was had by all!
Cooper was on the swim team which was SO great for him. He had practice every morning and swim meets on Tuesday and Thursday nights. I didn't think he would want to do any of the meets, but apparently that was his favorite part (I think it was mostly just the play time in between his swims)! Ultimately, his swimming improved drastically and he had a great time!
And the end of the summer was wrapped up with a special family trip to The Great Escape. It was one of the best family days we've ever had! The kids were all so well behaved. We had great weather, it wasn't too hot, but hot enough for Splash Water Kingdom to be a big hit (unfortunately we didn't have a waterproof camera, so no pictures from that). I think it was a great time to go as all 3 kids were entertained by the rides in "Timbertown" which is geared towards little kids. Pretty soon Cooper will be bored with those and I imagine we may have to split up in the future. Trying to enjoy every last minute as these kids are growing like weeds!
Our first ride, everyone's favorite, the carousel!
The kids loved this village with the miniature houses. Even Cooper loved going inside and checking them all out.

This was the area with all of the little kiddie rides. It was great because they could ride most of the rides by themselves.
A roller coaster! Even Emma went on this thriller!
This was everyone's favorite ride, and we went back 4 or 5 times. Fortunately the lines were minimal.
Most of the videos were marked as private so I couldn't watch them. Anyway you could share them with me Jen so I can see? LOOOOVED catching up on all your fun activities. You guys have such a great family and wonderful lives!
