Fair Time!

We had so much at the fair this year. A lot of cities around Cleveland have their own little fairs called, "home days". They are perfect.....not so many people, smaller areas to cover....great for our little family. Gavin loved mostly everything besides the rides the went in continuous circles...who can blame him?! He loved the big slide and fishing though.

Decorations

Gavin was having fun with some play-dough the other day. He kept stacking his plane higher and higher with different colors, and told me they were, "decorations". A guess even toy airplanes need a little decorating once in a while.

The Rest of June

After our fun week in San Diego we headed back to Medford to spend the rest of the month with my parents while Adam was working in Portland. (Although, he did surprise me and drove 4 hours one Friday night to spend a Saturday with us. He's the best). We had so much fun! We spent many afternoons by the pool. Gavin and Ruby loved being in the water. We had a fun week with the Collins' and Owens' families. 

Before all the fun began, this little guy was pretty sick. He got sick the day after we got back from San Diego.  The drive down to Medford was not so much fun...a puky 2 1/2 year old equals no good. Luckily he was better within a few days and back to his normal self.

We had our traditional Rooster's breakfast. Always a must. Ruby enjoyed the yummy coffee cake.

 Gavin was ready to go after about five minutes....weird ;)

San Diego

Gavin, Ruby and I were lucky enough to spend a week on the beach in San Diego with Adam's family. Adam was busy at a clerkship in Portland while we were playing all day. Gavin loved seeing all of his Gerber cousins, and both him and Ruby loved the beach. Gavin spent most of his time throwing rocks into the ocean. Probably his favorite thing to do. He would wait for the waves and then throw a big rock in. He seriously would have done it all day if he could.

The week went by fast, and we were sad to say goodbye. We love San Diego and spending good quality time with the fam. Hopefully next time Dad can join us.
