Rodeo!!

We went to cowtown rodeo in nj...

Jumping on the bed

The bunk bed at camp soles...

On a side note, exciting news in the travis household, Vera is in a big girl bed these days! 

Glow stuff

Glow sticks, necklaces, and rings at the campfire... Way past Vera's bedtime 

Happy to be at camp soles

Glass doors

The kids like to press their faces against the glass door. 

family photos

we had some family pictures done recently by devon anne.  i'm super happy with how they came out... here are some of them (grandparents etc, feel free to let me know which pictures you would like copies of)

talent show

sometimes we get to travel back in time on this blog... usually occuring after i get some pictures off of someone else's camera... aunt dorothy, aunt jane, and uncle jim came to visit this past spring.  and a talent show of the travis grandchildren occurred... in general mad chaos and lots of fun:

in a fishbowl

making silly faces...

at the pool playground...

the pool we go to has a nice playground and slides, which inevitably we end up on after swimming 

chocolate beards

trending lately:  chocolate beards...

finley-fest

we had finley's first birthday party this past weekend.  it included a live band (what can i say, finley has connections).  you'll have to harass jp to put finley birthday pictures on his blog.  here is vera rocking out. 

this is her "i'm really having fun" face ;) 

Beach day

Cloudy (rainy) day at beach, building a monster sand castle with friends...

4th of July sparkler fun

Sparklers were a big hit with the toddler crowd

cake

a few weeks ago nina made vera a birthday cake.  not on her actual birthday, but vera wasn't opposed to celebrating more than once... thanks for the pink cake nina!
