The F-A-I-R

The Dickinson County Fair in Norway, Michigan is great fun and close to home. Gabby and Marny just finished the Scrambler ride and they are looking quite Scrambled !!
Dominic is looking forward to squishing Marny around the corners !!
While watching the Magic Show, Rabbit ears suddenly appeared on Gabby's head !!


A Bloomin' Onion !! Can you say Grease Fest ??



And the "must have" of the Fair...Sweet corn-on-the-cob !! (L to R -- Francesca, Gabriella, Dominic, and Marnina)

Ski-ters Show

That's Vince and Dominic down front, watching the show. 3 guys are doing the big jump and flipping and stuff. Sick !!
The Badwater Ski-ters in Spread Eagle, Wisconsin draw quite a crowd for their shows. Gabby is on the left of course, and Marny is on the right. The show was very impressive and entertaining, and FREE !! They did come around and ask for donations, but we had spent all our 20 dollar bill at the concession stand :-)

I think I counted 18 girls in this line. All teens and under, the youngest was like 7 or something. You go girls !!!


20 dollars at the concession stand for ice cream treats, popcorn, and a soda was money well spent for a fun family night out !! Left to right is Gabriella, Francesca, Vincent, Dominic, and Marnina. Our beautiful babies :-)



Our Swimming Hole







This is Big Lake Fumee, about 20 miles or so to the West of us. Clear, beautiful water, fed from springs and streams, lots of loons, clams, fish, beavers, and eagles. We love to come here and hike or swim. It seems this spot is unknown, it's like our own private swimming hole. All sand beach and noone around for miles = pure heaven on earth !!!



FINALLY




I have ALWAYS wanted a swing hanging from a tree somewhere in our yard for the kids to enjoy.....And now we've got one !!! FINALLY !!! we've only lived here 8 years :-) Happy mommy and happy children---Thank you Daddy !!!

Summer Fun

Francesca is a girl after her mother's heart. Playin' the drums is such fun. I don't do it much, but its kinda like riding a bike, once you know how, you just always know how. Maybe this picture could be used someday for her album sleeve :-)
Vince doing what he enjoys the most....catching "sick air". Todd is the photographer (doing what HE loves the most- taking pictures).

Gabby freezing in the pool. Our summer this year has been below average temps, but that doesn't stop them all from swimming. I haven't gotten in yet though. And probably won't, unless of course we get a 90 degree day !
