Summer 2009

It has been a busy summer, soccer and T-ball games have ended. Dog shows are continuing. Rihanna our little girl has been shown 12 times and has won 9 Best Puppy and 3 Reserve Winners. I am setting a goal of 10 Best Puppys : ).

Madison after school let out went on vacation with friends to Holden Beach, NC and had a great time. She learned to body surf in the ocean, she was pretty proud of herself. The kids also spent a week in West Virginia, came home jumped in the car and we went for our summer vacation to Rhode Island to see Gramps and Meme and Uncle Donald.

The kids were so excited to ride on Uncle Donald's motorcycle!!! Madison now wants one for her 16th birthday, she is hooked. While in RI we went to Lake Canobie a big amusement and water park in NH. Madison rode her first roller coaster and enjoyed it

immensely. Mom was a little green and Nana knew better then to go. I think Madison is our dare devil! The boys stuck to more calmer rides and had a good time, they enjoyed the bumper cars so they could crash into people, Nana likes them too! : )

Then on to upstate New York where they stayed at the lake with their papa willis and drove his boat, they got to see their great grandfather and great grandmother, aunt Diane and uncle John.

The only down side is that we didn't have enough time to spend with everyone. We took two days to drive up and back, the kids enjoyed swimming at the hotel pools! : )

So that is it for now, soccer and football will be starting soon and school. I know I keep promising but I will try to do better and keeping this blog updated. I just don't have time at the Willis Zoo here! : )
