Family time

We had a great time with my family in Minnesota!!! We had a big old family 4th of July Party! It brought back wonderful memories of family picnics from when I was younger! I loved getting to see everyone! Luca had so much fun having a water fight with his cousins! Jen and Julie have six now seven boys (we are so excited you are born Baby James) all ranging from 12 to 0 years old! Luca had a BLAST! After the day at the water park and his first Dairy Queen he asked if he could stay with Aunt Cindy for the rest of the summer as he had the "best day in the whole wide world" Pretty special time! Juliette enjoyed the time too! We loved visiting with everyone!

AMC Conference 2014

 We had a great time at the AMC conference this last week in Minnesota! Luca said some of his highlights were, playing AMC tag, making new friends, seeing his old friends, playing pirates in the lobby with his AMC friends, and the big breakfasts!

 Luca, Gracie and Colman had fun playing "AMC Tag"

 Each day started with a complimentary big breakfast! Juliette did not take full advantage of this but Luca really enjoyed it!
 Painting!
 Getting his face painted by a fellow AMCer and artist Chris. Luca requested a "astronaut" Here it is below.
 Luca took this picture himself so he could see what his face looked like
 Luca and Ward Foley, "Scarman" When I told Luca that Scarman has AMC, he said, "REALLY???" I didn't know that!
