Family RV Trip - First Stop Boston

And we are off on our biggest family adventure yet...our RV road trip through the Northeast. 

Today, we took off from Chicago and headed to Boston. We spent a day in Boston on the front end and back end of our trip. We packed as much as we could in so that we could see the City, friends and take in a Red Sox game at the request of Charlie.

There's More Than Corn in Indiana...

There's corn and Indiana Beach - that's what is in Indiana! We spent the weekend taking in the sites (and people) at Indiana Beach for the annual Newsham family reunion. The kids had a blast on the rides and at the arcade and Matt enjoyed reliving his youth with pronto pups and tacos. Success!

Living in Luxury

I took Charlie for his summer haircut, he wanted it shaved off. We compromised and they cut it all with a 2. Because his cut was only with one blade, he was able to get the VIP treatment which includes a wash, massage chair and hot towel. Charlie enjoyed the pampering - big surprise!

Moving up to Bear

Today, we had Charlie's Cub Scout Advancement Ceremony, our Scout is officially a Bear! This group of boys have spent the last two years together and we have all become great friends. It's so fun to see him move through the Cub Scout ranks.

Charlie's Last Day of Second Grade

I helped organize an after school picnic to celebrate the kids last day of school. Once school got out we headed to centennial park where the boys played at the park, played baseball and played with water balloons. We grilled out and had a blast! The boys had so much fun celebrating the end of second grade...onto third grade! It's hard to believe this boy is heading to 3rd grade!!
