The beginning of summer has brought us lots of visitors, camping, and swimming! The boys are six months old, and are jumping right up the growth charts. They are also becoming very busy. Sitting still is not an option. Caulder is working on crawling, and Kessler is working on scooting. Caulder has also figured out how to get out of the bouncy seat (check out the video), as well as how to stand up in his crib. We can tell that he is going to be the trouble maker. Kessler has become very vocal, and loves to blow raspberries. He is very sweet, and is much more reserved than Caulder. My favorite new activity that the boys have begun to do is to reach up to us to be picked up. Mat and I bought a family summer swim pass for the Boise outdoor public pools. We have taken the boys down to our neighborhood pool a few times to wade in the kiddie pool. Kessler loves it. Caulder seems to enjoy the water, but clings to mom and dad.
We have also enjoyed our June visitors. Our friends Kevin and Ruth came up for the weekend from Salt Lake city in early June. We had a great time visiting and shopping at the Saturday market. The next week Mat's brother Lucas drove down from Columbia Falls, MT for a week long visit where he met the boys for the first time. We all enjoyed visiting with Lucas, especially Bridger who got lots of walks. Mat and Lucas made time to fish and mountain bike. We also took the boys on their first camping trip along the upper South fork of the Boise River. It was a little colder at night than expected, but the boys did great. This past weekend we went camping at Red Fish Lake with our friends Mike and Danielle along with their month old son Keaton, and Wendy and Jared along with their 2 year old daughter Gabby. Mike and Danielle graciously let us take over their camper, which was very comfy. We had a great trip. We're looking forward to our next camping trip over the 4th in Eastern Oregon with the Morris's.
