Ohio Part 2 - Scarff Family Reunion

The Scarff Family Reunion was great fun. Amelia and Daddy fed the neighbor's horses carrots, and we enjoyed seeing the family again. Amelia tried out a slip and slide for the first time and loved it.

Ohio Part 1

We went to Ohio for Kevin's family reunion, stopping in Muscatine on the way where Amelia and Tom had fun together.

In Ohio we had lots of fun hanging out with "Ma Becky" (as she is now known) and her family. We visited Uncle Bill's house and Young's Farm.

Grandma Marilyn's Birthday

Grandma joined us for dinner on her actual birthday. Amelia's started to practice blowing out candles.

Boat

On the one great weather day of July 4th weekend, we rented a boat on Big Creek with some friends. Amelia enjoyed herself, and I don't think it was all to do with discovering Cheetos for the first time.

Grandma Marilyn's 60th

This weekend we celebrated Grandma Marilyn's 60th a little early, hiring a boat on the Mississippi in Muscatine.

Father's Day & Grandma Becky's Visit

Grandma Becky visited Father's Day weekend. She had a great time getting to know Amelia's quirks, schedule and language. Amelia even managed to impress us all by adding two-syllable words to her repertoire (outside and picture).

Daddy got Twins hats for him and Amelia for Father's Day in preparation for our trip to Minneapolis to see a game in late July.

England vs USA

Well the result was good for Kevin and Amelia. . . Kate's not so happy.

Amelia was all decked out in her England shirt and USA flip flops ready for the big game. 1-1 was probably what the poor conflicted girl wanted.

The flip flops didn't last long so Kevin put them by the TV for "luck". Kate preferred the score in this picture.
