Smashing Laffy Taffy - Catching up on some of my videos that I haven't posted to my blog...

Here, the kids are trying to get a car to run over their Laffy Taffy...! :)

Lakeside Storm

You might get a taste for what a good storm is like on Lake Erie here.  It is 14 minutes long, but I tried to put the better parts towards the front.  You can watch it a couple of times and see different crashes you didn't see the first time through.  Try to catch one of the waves crashing straight into the end of the main dock off in the background...

A sample of Lakeside goodness... :)

If you have some time, you can see all my pictures from our Lakeside 2015 trip

Warning, there's a little more than 300 so grab a snack beforehand. :)

What a blessed time we had. Perfect combination of family time, fun, doing things, relaxing and nice weather. 

Andy and his VBS crew.

Both boys are helping lead teams this year.

Johnny was having trouble getting anything besides a small clump of moss to grow in his terrarium...

...So he solved the problem by buying some mushrooms for it at Lakeside :)

I've been out-trailered...

It's twelve feet tall to the top!

A different perspective, they're working, I'm watching. :)

From Julie's childhood. The Grinch and Top Value Stamps. Haha.

Nothing like the power of suggestion...

Julie found the boys some good ole classic lollipops :)
