radio flyers and flyers

The boys love spanning the driveway and going around the block with their Radio Flyer scooter and trike. Also a frequent request -- to visit the helicopter pad at the hospital.

memorial day

Zeeland, Michigan knows how to put on a patriotic parade. The boys stood and clapped for all the veterens as they walked past. They admired the John Deere tractors and firetrucks. Also not bad: the suckers.

zoo

After Joel's b-day, the boys and I headed up to Michigan where we went to the John Ball Park Zoo. They especially enjoyed watching the monkeys, feeding the birds, and petting the stingrays. Trevor even rode a camel with Oma!

Joel's b-day

Joel celebrated his 2nd b-day on May 14th with a Thomas the Tank Engine themed party. Several of his friends along with Oma and Papa joined the festivities.
