A Pantless Family Band

In a new Boesen family endeavor, Jack and aunt Katelyn have formed the Pantless Family Band -- a piano and guitar duo. While they have yet to book any gigs, We think they both have great legs.

Balloon Festival

We went with our neighbors to the National Balloon Classic in Indianola. It was very cool walking out on the balloon field, although the noise and the heat from the balloons was a little scary for the youngest Boesen. He put on his game face, though, and managed to enjoy a few bites of corndog before the "niteglow" began.

More Okoboji

We had a fun playdate at the beach in Okoboji with Sophia, Isabella and Emma Fassbender. Jack wasn't overwhelmed by the estrogen level, and even though Emma is just a few days younger than he is, he only had eyes for Isabella. He still talks about Isabella and finding "the very hungry caterpillar."

Arg! Jack Hits the Water Park

On a rainy day in Okoboji, we hit the new indoor water park -- or "pirate park" -- with Sally and Uncle Tom. Jack grew more brave after the first couple of sliedes and had a great time in the water.

Too Much Fun?

After almost a full week at Okoboji with less-than-stellar sleeping habits, Jack finally got his way and skipped the all-important afternoon nap. Although, when he finally took some time to calm down, all the action caught up with him.

Summer!

OK, OK. I know there's been a lapse in blog postings. Summers are busy, and ours is no different. We've had weekends at Okoboji, hot days at the pool, stinky days at the zoo and lots of baseball and golf time in between. Here are a few shots to give you an idea of what we've been up to the past two months.

Memorial Day Weekend, or the day my parents Buzzed my hair

Obviously, we started this post with shock and awe -- Jack's first buzz cut or "summer cut" as Bryan called it. It'll grow on me, literally. Sally, quit crying, it is just hair. We had a busy day after the haircut: digging for dinosaur bones at the Science Center, lunch at the Cub Club with Cubbie Bear (our new best friend), followed with a quick nap (not pictured) and a dip in Grandma Patty's pool. You can tell by his pool outfit he's a big fish in a small pond.
