SUMMER!

We really are having a fantastic summer! This weekend alone, we had our last swim class and on Sunday I took the girls to the beach for the first time! What a blast! Thankfully Jack and Brenda were with me to help with the girls and all of our gear.

When we arrived at the beach, we were exhausted from lugging all of our stuff, so Jack and I decided to just plop down right there where we were having our discussion about how hot and tired we were of lugging the crap! Brenda even volunteered to leave her chair behind next time! Then, as luck would have it, walking down the beach are my cousins! Frank, Rosemary, Nina, Natalie, and Frankie! We ended up spending the afternoon with them. It felt like vacation, and the girls loved the water and the sand. I definitely want to go again before the summer ends.

This is Giovanna's idea of helping Daddy wash the car!

We bought this float for "Flick & Float" at the pool, but there
was lightening that night, so we couldn't go in the water. So,
one evening I set up our bitty pool in the back yard and the
girls "floated" in the grass!

You can see the girls have very different
approaches to getting the basketball in the basket!


This summer we discovered our family LOVES
DRUMSTICKS!

Weren't those the days? When this was ok and cute!

Auntie Loda arranged a surprise delivery for the girls.
It came today so now we're ready for DA BEARS!
