First Day of Summer

Friday was our first full day of summer vacation.  We had a pretty good day.  Got kind of a late start....which is a lovely way to start summer break, I do believe.  After a scattered breakfast, we walked to the park and spent a good hour plus there.  The weather was amazing.  Had a fairly awful storm the night before, but the aftermath was crisp, dry air with temps in the mid 70's.  It's funny to observe the kids.  Clayton took his basketball and played most of the time, breaking twice to swing.  Thomas swung almost the whole time we were there.  And the girls ran back and forth from the swings to the playground, but definitely spent more time running up the stairs and venturing down the slides.  I squeezed a little workout in while we were there.  No pictures.  The dog decided to knock my phone off the breakfast bar this week while I was taking Gaby to the bathroom and now my camera won't work.  I have no idea what would have been so intriguing about a phone to a dog....or even how he knew it was up there.  I guess it smelled like bacon.

Water Water Everywhere!

Friday night at the pool!  So fun!  We took dinner: sandwiches, watermelon, and chips, and swam, swam, swam.  Great fun and an awesome perk of living in our neighborhood.

This kid is a fish!  He's kinda hard to supervise in the pool because you can hardly ever find him underwater!


Big bro and littlest sis.  Love how much fun they have together.


This girl LOVED her pink "babing" suit and the pool even had pink noodles.  She coulda died and gone to heaven.



New flip flops.  Same cute toes. :)


The very next day, they enjoyed the water again.  Sprinkler fun!





Seriously, she is too cute.




 All the water play really got me excited that summer is here.
