We're lovin' summer!

 When Rachel got out of school we made a list of all the things we wanted to do this summer.  We probably crossed off half the list that first day/weekend.  Things slowed down when I came down with a fever for a few days.  The same three days Jake was out of town...what luck huh?

Unlike everyone else around here we are not signed up for any summer camps or taking any extended or exotic vacations, we're just playing.  I am loving the unrushed mornings, the kids playing together, and no schedule whatsoever.  So here are a few things we've been up to.
Playing with friends- tea party, picnic, club...whatever you call it
Baseball games- He really wanted to catch one

Daddy caught something :)

Catching fireflies!!  So fun!!!

Lots of picnics


The kids initiated their own limeade stand

Cute, right?

Daddy was their first customer

We were all getting nervous that Daddy might be their only customer.  Time was passing and so were the cars.  But soon they got plenty, these kids had 2 or 3 each...they loved it!

We're becoming frequent visitors to the farm

Trying to beat the heat without a hose.  Seriously, it's tricky.



Summer is not summer without it

Tommy found a firefly mid day and took it into the dark bathroom and it started glowing

Fun little play at an open air theater

We've scored a few fun things at garage sales the last couple weekends



And of course, lots of time at the pool!
We also went to NYC for a day to take advantage of the splash playgrounds because we don't have any here.  Sadly it happened to be the one cold day out of all this 90+ degree stuff.  At least we got to see old friends.

Kate's curls are so dang cute. I love summer. I think life is better with kids and summer is way more fun with kids!

I bet Rachie & Tommy had great customer service.
I miss catching fireflies all summer at Gram & Pop's farm. East coast summers are so much fun.

So now I can really identify with all your places and activities and the actions of the kids and what they are up to. Fun post!
