Bozeman - Summer 2010

After spending a week in Lake Geneva, we went to Montana... we didn't take many pictures, but here are a few from Christian's phone! We don't seem to have any pictures but the kids spent a LOT of time running down the hill and jumping into the little wading pool my parents have! AND it was an especially GREAT summer as Anna & Ramon had just moved to Bozeman so we got to enjoy ALL the Grafs minus HG! Enjoy....

Adults (+Razel) at the Continental Divide, our annual Summer dinner!

Lake Geneva - Summer 2010

Below are a few pics from LG! So sorry for being so late in adding these... AND thanks to Josh for letting us use his camera!! We REALLY missed Aunt Robyn who had to stay in DC for work. Enjoy!

Max LOVED the BOAT!

As you can see, Tessa was doing her own thing...

Avery heading to the lake!

Max LOVED Larkin... he couldn't get enough!

I LOVE this picture... pretty much shows you exactly how they all were throughout the week... Avery's looks killed us!!

FOOD FOOD FOOD!

Max literally couldn't stop himself from hugging Avery every chance he got!

Max's Birthday Party!!

Max had a great time helping me bake his Fire Engine cake!

Our family after Max blew out the candles.

Loving his new presents... fireman outfit from Ethan & Zara, boots from Leila & Nate! Doesn't get any better than this when you're three!!

Max and Ethan saving Isabella & Leila from the fire!

Keeping cool...

The park nearest our house has a great wading pool... the Summer has been so nice, we've been wading quite a bit!!

We can't get enough Wimbledon in our house...

"Max doesn't know I have his Wimbledon headband and wrist bands!"

"Here Tessa, let me show you have to wear them..."

"Actually, maybe I should just wear them!"

Picnic with friends in Richmond Park!!

After swimming at Oscar & Rufus' Grandma's house we walked to Richmond Park for a picnic... after we were finished eating the kids were playing around and one by one the oldest three climbed onto the log and sat next to each other. It was VERY sweet!!

As you can see Isabella was the initiator, with Max coming in second...

and Oscar deciding he wanted to be part of it too... Rufus is in the foreground minding his own business!

But we thought he should sit with the older kids too!

Tessa wandering through the long grass!!

I just want to be like My Daddy!!

A few Random shots from June that were stuck on my phone!

We met up with the Donovan's at St James Park... here are Tessa & Nate enjoying the sand pit!

On our way home from the park Max got a 'soldier outfit' aka Beefeater uniform! He wore it for about 4 days in a row.... to Waitrose, the playground and school!!

Here he is after just showing me how he LONG JUMPS! Of course, in his soldier outfit!

Face Painting...

On July 1st, the Fulham Palace Garden Center around the corner from our house celebrated 25 years and had FACE PAINTING!! Check out Max's Green Dinosaur face (AND Tessa watching VERY closely!)
