And not to be outdone…. Go Bee!
>Here is how frankie spent the morning. She must have done the dive onto the couch from the toybox about 100 times. OK pardon the mess that is our side room or “parlor” as Bee likes to say!

>we took a little family vacation this week, and packed up the kids, some clothes, and some beach items and headed out to the kal-haven trail. Scott pulled the girls while I pulled the clothes through the green, lightly rolling hills of south western michigan. We stopped half way in Bloomingdale for popsicles, blueberries, and nice cold water. We spent a couple of days in south haven at the beach. Frankie fearlessly waded out to her shoulders, while Bee became an expert sand castle and moat builder/digger. The sunsets were beautiful and the weather was perfect! I cant wait for our next bike trip!
Here are a few action-packed flicks from the covered bridge about a mile west of south haven.
And now for some fun pictures!
This picture was at Bloomingdale’s Old Train station, and the girls loved the flag decorations, the train, and the creepy boy! (picture of creepy boy is too creepy to post…)

>Colleen (my SIL) tagged me to list 4 things I have learned/did in the past 4 years and 4 things I hope to learn/do in the next 4. So here goes:
1. had not one, but two kids and am learning how to be what I hope is caring, loving, good mommy
2. bike trip with scott and girls to the lake along the Kal-Haven trail (where we carried everything on our bikes!).. see upcoming post
3. started a blog with scott for our family, and also started a blog with my sisters and parents for our family
4. visted Japan with my family
what would be new adventures
1. visit a few states we’ve never been to before (the dakotas, montana, alaska)
2. teach the girls to read
3. teach the girls to ride bicycles
4. plant and cultivate some blueberry bushes in our yard (yum!)
OK, stay tuned for the details on our bike trip. But suffice it to say that was a BLAST!!

a poem by Bee and Frankie
Koompa Loompa sat on a wall
Koompa Loompa had a great fall
Koompa Loompa come and play
Koompa Loompa run in the hay
Koompa Loompa she’s a good dog
Koompa Loompa grampsed on the log!!
Koompa Loompa likes to eat food
Koompa Loompa eats all the food
Koompa Loompa find Cinderella
Koompa Loompa find her magic shoe
Koompa Loompa find Snow White
Koompa Loompa then take a bubble bath
and go to bed!
The end!
