Summer Celebrations

Memorial Day

To kick off our first summertime celebration, we went to the South Euclid Memorial Day parade. Ainsley & Daddy rode their bikes over to Green Rd where we watched the festivities. We collected a lot of candy and enjoyed the beautiful weather.




July 4th
Mid-summer, we celebrated the 4th of July with the Wills West crew in Bay Village. Ainsley enjoyed the bike parade, Bay Days, a fun picnic, and of course, fireworks! Auntie Meg & Uncle Nate were in town, too, so that made the weekend even more fun!

Visiting Grandma & Papa

In July, we took our annual trip to Milwaukee to visit Grandma & Papa Molnar. Ainsley's request for our first afternoon was to play the beanbag game. She was pretty good!

Concentrating...
"I got one!" 

Hugs from Grandma

When Papa got home from work, we went to Regner Park where we heard a band play and enjoyed the park.

We went back the next afternoon for some swimming.

Papa's company picnic at the Milwaukee Zoo took place while we were visiting, so we got to go!  We rode a train, a merry-go-round, and the sky way. We also saw lots of animals - polar bears, giraffes, elephants, and more!  The only bad part was that it rained almost the whole time...good thing we brought umbrellas!

The next day was a lot drier, and we went to an animal sanctuary where we could feed the animals and complete a scavenger hunt.
