We celebrated Tyler's birthday at Shelley and Jay's house. Ty was excited about getting Justin's old bike. Now he's faster than ever. Becky and Scott are getting excited for the arrival of little Reed. We are planning a baby shower for her at the beginning of August. Sunday night the Giants were on and we were so excited to see cousin Adam #61 playing most of the second half. We are trying to teach Tyler to say "Go Giants" instead of "Go Beavers." Congrats Adam - we're so proud of you!
JCI had their anual picnic at Michigan Adventureon Tyler's birthday. Justin, Grandma and Grandpa Bultman joined us while Megan played at Shelley's with Natalie. Can you believe that Grandma Bultman went on a roller coaster? We had a great time despite the cooler weather and sprinkles. Justin's favorite was the Mad Mouse because it felt like you were going to fall off the edge of the track.
Grandma and Grandpa Bultman, Shelley, Justin, Natalie, Ryan, Allison, Ryan, Tyler, Megan and I went to Binder Park Zoo. Our favorite was definetely feeding the giraffes!
The chrysalis became clear and the butterfly was ready to come out. We gathered up lots of books to read while we waited. (We missed the other one coming out.) Every once in a while we would check the chrysalis. Can you believe that we missed it again. We turned around and she was already out. Her wings were still crumpled up, but she was out. We had fun letting her climb on our fingers and then released her in the yard. Ty said her prickly legs tickled.
Megan, Natalie, Justin, Mark, and Ryan had a great time at the fair. Even the rain couldn't stop us from having a good time.
