It finally rained!

Good Clean Fun!

It took Sylvia a few minutes to realize it was okay to play out in the rain...

But soon enough, it was pure delight!

Happy Father's Day!

We had to give Dad his father's day present early because he decided to grill his meat on Saturday instead of Sunday.

Dad grilled about 50 pounds of meat for today.

We had a fun day!! Lots of family! Some of us girl cousins went for a walk in the park... it was beautiful!

Uncle Matt brought his guitar and we sang some fun old songs.

We had a great day!

Lots of swimming,,,

The kids have been having fun swimming in their little yellow swimming pool on the deck. 

just a little bit slow, I know.

This was actually from a couple of weeks ago... we had some more family come down from Alaska! So we spent a day at Grandpa Don and Grandma Polly's house. We played ultimate frisbee and caught all kinds of turtles...

We found out that turtles actually like to eat ice cream... :D

some of my beautiful girl cousins...

This is from a hike we took with Heidi from Alaska. 

Hannah and Heidi...

Of course by the end of the walk everyone was pretty good and wet!

Flowers!

Summer Fun Begins!

We are done with school, report cards, transcripts, grad parties!! Today is the first day with a focus on summer fun.  (Well, maybe a bit of a science class mixed in.)

It was a beautiful day for a bit of PB&J sandwiches and watermelon.  Sylvie enjoyed alot of hers all over her face.  :) Library books, quiet reading, hula hooping... so many things to enjoy in the summer!

We  had some competitive races.  The winner got out of dish duty.  

Congratulations Seth!!

Enjoying some of the Alaskan family...

Thanks Mark and Merry for the wonderful visit.

As always, it was a pleasure to have a window of time with you!
