Kyle got everyone started on a flower-sniffing campaign one morning.... 

Casey in the wildflower patch when the kids visited over July 4th. 

There are a few isolated spots of lillies in the yard - some are yellow, yellow-orange, and now these pink-ish purple-ish ones. I think they look kind of sickly. I guess I should be surprised that they came up at all - earlier in the year, when I was eager to mow the grass (I'm over that), I ran over all of the lilly patches several times. Maybe they're blooming in mid-summer because they had to regrow throughout the spring! 

Now, just a week or so there were only the flowering penta plants I had here. Out of nowhere this heart-shaped leafy vine started growing. I guess it's another late starter.  

Parting group shot en route back to the airport. 

Cold sprinkler fun -... 

...but after a minute or two, I think it became more fun than cold! 

And, I don't know where he got this pose, but Kyle cracked everyone up with it. 

Great photo cutouts at the Toledo Zoo. Kyle, Casey, and Mom..... 

...and we took photos at every single one! 

There were lots of these great cutout boards at the zoo.... 

Siblings of the corn.....that doesn't have the same ring to it as..... 

Children of the Corn!!! 

Another playground visit..... 

There was lots of playground time during our visit.
