Summer 2014

So ... I haven't blogged in two years. Been a little busy. But I'm determined to get back to it. Rather than try to cover it all, I'm just going to start with a retrospective of Summer 2014. We pretty much hit the pool at the Harris and Simmons YMCAs every weekend. Nate and Theo had summer camp every week: Sports Camp, Splash Camp, Day Camp, Taekwondo Camp ... it's going to be hard to go back to school!

For the first time in four years, the Daley family hopped on a plane for Minnesota! It was a lot faster, but somewhat problematic. Cancelled and delayed flights, missing luggage, etc., but the boys had a blast running around the airport and playing on the "walkalators."

Stuck in the Detroit airport on the way to Minnesota.

Dangerous moves learned from Great-Uncle Tim Kosidowski.


A couple weeks later, we headed to Mohonk Mountain Lodge in New York for a family reunion with the Haltermann family:

Last weekend, we headed to Charleston to play with Rachel, Sue & Charlie:

Theo Daley, Sandcastle Architect


Great-Uncle Charlie is a hoot!


Aunt Rachel dove into the depths of the swimming pool near dead leaves (eek!) to save our fishies! Hooray!

We have one more week until Nate starts first grade! Where did the time go?
