Summer of 2005

This was an exciting summer for us. First, Mary's parents and Cindy visited us for Erik's baptism. We went camping a few times. Another highlight is that we were invited by the Pardees to their place in Bristol, Rhode Island for the 4th of July Parade (see below). Then Alejandra and Aleida visited us and stayed with us for almost three weeks. We went with the girls to Vermont for the FIA picnic. Then we spent a weekend with the Kennedys at their beach house in Fire Island. By the end of the summer, we went to Bellmar on the Jersey Shore for a short weekend. Finally, Mary and Erik flew to the Midwest to visit the Mehls (grandpa and grandma) in Chisago City, MN. The following is a sample of photos from this long hot summer of 2005.
