Oh summer! You flew by and left me so little time to blog about it!

July and August were busy and fun! We continued our trips to the zoo. Will spent a few days in Minnesota with Anna and Claire. We traveled to Illinois for the Keiser Reunion. Did back-to-school shopping. Will had another session of swimming lessons. We played outside. Will visited the allergist and the dentist. We gathered for the Fiscus Reunion. We spent the day at the Iowa State Fair.

Get comfortable. Here come the pictures.

Will can make his own oatmeal.
