Family and summer fun!

Natalie turned 4 1/2 on June 25th! She is growing up so fast. We celebrated her birthday with Grandma Barb, AA, and Lizzie.

Natalie got a toolbox for her birthday and she teamed up with Mikey and Lizzie to fix a bunch of things around the house. They got a lot of projects done.

Natalie, Lizzie and Mikey got to see the Dan Patch Days parade. Good fun! I think all three kids were simply amazed that people would drive/walk by and throw candy at them. Natalie counted every piece of candy (all 302 pieces) and it was a good lesson in counting past 100.

On the weekend of July 4th, we hung out in LaCrosse. Hanging out in the pool....
Going for a cruise down the block.....Natalie (driver), Brookie (passenger), Michael and Lizzie (trailer).

Driving a tractor with Uncle Eric.....

Riding the trails in the mule....
Having a tea party with cousin Taylor....

We hope you are staying cool! it is supposed to be 98 degrees today in Savage! We'll be spending lots of time in the water.

Frogs and more frogs!

Catching frogs has been quite a highlight in the Wiffler household. In the past 2 days, we caught over 20 frogs. We typically catch them in the window well, let the kids play with them, identify the type of frog, put them in the little pool to hang out and then let them go. High adventure!

Grandpa was part of the adventure one night also!
Here are some shots of the different types of frogs.
Here is a bucket full of frogs and Michael cannot keep his hands out of it.


Just look at how excited Michael is. He has one frog in each hand and he is inspecting the frog hanging from Josh's hands.

Momma frog and Mikey frog are taking it easy and hanging out in the buckets.

In this bucket are 2 of the biggest frogs I have ever seen!!

Ribbit! Ribbit!
