His bags are packed.

Griffin is packed & ready to spend the night at Grammy's house. He did not pack lightly. Doesn't everyone need two pairs of pj's for one night? Have fun Griffie.

Fish Sitting

Griffin has the responsibility of watching "Flipper" the beta Fish. The Arces have put there trust in Griffin for the next 2 weeks. It is a big responsibility & last night Griffin read "Hop on Pop" to flipper & told him he loved him. Finally, a Lowell child who takes responsibility for a pet!

Birthday Dance

Keeping with tradition...birthday dance started off his day...we were down 2 dancers but we still gave it our all & I have to say we made up for it with some creative moves!!! Griffin LO-OVES the birthday dance & could play it over & over & over again! So nice when you can ease into the morning- not rushing off to school or work.

Birthday Dinner

Happy Birthday Lee Lowell! Another year- still looking good. We made a great dinner & invited family over to celebrate. Quieter without the girls, but still fun! We had to relight the candles so Griffin could practice for his upcoming big day (2 plus months ).

Here she is

A close up of Sydney! Yay!

Here are our waterskiiers!

We officially have a picture of Josie & Sydney together & it is on the waterski docks! In 8 days we can actually see them skiing in person! Go girls.

Kawaga Social

Another social...this time with Camp Kawaga. The bummer is that their cousins chuck & Simon who go to Kawaga were both on camping trips so they missed them. They did get to see them on July 4th & we hear through the grapevine that a picture was taken of all of them. We finally received a detailed letter from Sydney & a very cryptic letter from Josie today. camp is going by wa-ay too quickly for us (we miss them but we know what the reentry from camp can be like "boring"). Enjoy the last week in the north woods.
