Back to School!

Quinn was so excited to go back to school today!

Mommy was pretty excited too :)

The Original

This is the original Fabulous Banta Boy. Matt in a picture taken around the same age as Cooper, they really look alike here!

Tire Park

Quinn making out with the tire swing :)

Cooper wouldn't sit still long enough to get his picture taken! This wobbly bridge was his favorite!

Great Wolf Lodge

Sam getting ready to go on the waterslide.

A view of the whole park.

Cooper couldn't quite figure out the innertube, but he had fun trying.

Quinn is my little fish!

He loved being in the water.

Cooper really loved the kids waterslide! He is so brave!

Yeah, Cooper didn't have fun at all...

Both of the boys had a great time at the waterpark.

The Zoo

Riding the tram at the zoo.

Sam on the tram.

On the tundra bus in the polar bear exhibit, it was air conditioned!

Attempt #1 at group shot in the birds nest.

Attempt #2 at group shot, then I gave up :)

Cooper's favorite part of the zoo, lilypads you can walk over! See Quinn in the background trying to jump in?

What a cutiepie!

Cooper petting a goat.

Cousins

Cooper decided the best seat in the house was on top of Emilia!

Sam was just relieved that Cooper wasn't climbing on him for once :)

Sam playing with Cooper's scarf.

Quinn drinking his brother's juice.

We made chocolate chip cookies. Cooper really enjoyed them.

I took Emilia and Sam to the county fair.

They went on lots of rides and ate some junk food.

Emilia won a fish!

Pool Party at Grandma's!

The boys having fun in the pool.

Uncle Scott and Cousin Max

Cooper loved it when Uncle Scott sprayed him with the water toy!

Everyone in the pool together.
