I could go on and on!

Fishy, fishy in the Brook

The Boggio family got some fishing in this summer. We all enjoy it. Here are some of the catches!

Fourth of July we all took turns reeling in this bottom feeder.


John and Rocco went fishing on Lake Michigan and caught some King Salmon.


John caught these when we were canoeing on the WI River with church.


The fish weren't really biting for our weekend in the Lake Tomahawk area but the kids did catch some frogs.

What a rush!

The Boggios were in the Dells last weekend. Rocco and Amy went on their first "real" roller coaster rides. Amy was only big enough for one (which she loved) but Rocco got to experience three of them at Mt Olympus Theme Park. The biggest one, Hades, takes you underground, in the dark. Here is the historic moment captured on film as they descended under the parking lot.



Our friends, the Leedle Boys, are sitting behind them Mason and his dad Jeff.

Despite how he appears, Rocco loved it!

Take me out to the Ball Game!

So we think Amy has attended one too many Brewer Games this year (We have been to three). She was eating some shelled peanuts for a snack and this is where she disposed of her shells. Right on the kitchen floor.



We had a little talk about how the baseball game and Texas Roadhouse are the only places where you can throw your peanut shells on the floor. Or at The Showboat in the Dells, but she has 16 years before she is legally allowed into that place!!

Happy July!

Here is how we left the house this morning!!




Here is the picture we took of our big brother after her picture was taken.



I love the casualness of summer and my in-laws!!

Wise Decision?

See what happens when you leave heavy, earth moving equipment parked in front of our house?





The Boggios take over. We even tried looking for the keys to the bulldozer in an attempt to do some landscaping to our front yard. No luck!

Compass Presentation

Sunday evening was the year end celebration for Rangers and Rangers at church. Amy achieved her Honorary Rainbow pin by earning all possible badges over the last two years.



Rocco began attending Rangers two and half years ago. Most of the boys in his group started when they started Kindergarten. He also earned all possible badges for his group along with three other boys. That had never been accomplished before and all the boys were presented with a compass. We are really proud of him.



I also would like a tiny recognition as I have sewn on all the badges on the kids vests and have a bunch to put on Rocco's vest too as he earned a bunch in this last quarter. It may take me all summer.
