Miniature Golf

 

Kora wanted to get in on the fun too.  She did enjoy walking up and down the hills, steps, bridges, and stairs.  She also liked taking the balls out of the holes.  Only occasionally did she put the ball in the hole too soon.

 

Megan got a hole-in-one.

Camping

We went camping at LaSalle Lake State Recreation Area.  We had a good time and the weather was nice.  Kora did wake up in the middle of the night, crying at the top of her lungs.  She wasn't even comforted when we picked her up.  It was very strange, since she rarely wakes up at night and if she does, she never cries like that.  So for once, it was us waking everybody up at the campground.

Summer Fun

It has been a fun and busy summer so far with a lot of firsts for Kora. 

First time in an inflatable bounce house. 

 

First time swimming in a lake with Dad.  It was also Kora's first time camping.  She did pretty well, but it took her a long time to fall asleep in her pack and play in the tent.  The flies and mosquitoes were so bad, we all had to go in the tent for the night by 9:00 pm.  No concentrate of DEET would keep them from biting.  So with us all in the tent, she had a hard time settling down.  I think she was one of the last to fall asleep.

The kids are playing at a local park.  Kora has gotten more confident on the swings and slides.  Of course, she watches everything her brother and sister do and has started trying to climb up all the slides.
