Sweet Summer

Oh, sweet summertime!  How I love thee!

For realz.  I do love me some summer.  I have been working hard trying to keep these two boys of mine busy so far this summer so as not to drive their Momma crazy. :)

Here is what we were up to in June:

We spent some time at The Jolly Roger,

Met cousin Lucas for the first time (and he was pretty cute!),

Played Legos with cousin Hayden,

played in the water to cool off,

dug around in the dirt for some new pets,

And got ourselves a new (to us) swingset for the backyard!

We celebrated Daddy's BIG 3-0!!!

Mommy enjoyed a lovely Riley-Date day while the boys stayed with Nana & Baba!

And we had fun at Cumberland's Symphony on the Lawn with Nana & Baba, too!

We did some lightening bug catchin',

Brushed up on our skateboard skillz,

Did some sliding with Daddy on the new swingset,

(And did a little swingin', too),

And celebrated our favorite Daddies on Father's Day.

One of us learned how to ride our bike SANS TRAINING WHEELS!!!!

We spent lots of afternoons at the pool,

played drums with Charlie from Global Education and checked out the lovely Polynesian dancers,

Did a little shopping here and there,

And spent some more time at The Jolly Roger swimming (and bar dancing).

We had lots of library time: Chan played trains while Liam napped (and Mommy read),

Had fun playing with The Chalos fam

And Liam had a special day out with Nana & Mommy to see Sesame Street Live, front row baby!

Chan got a special night out, too--Monsters University at the drive-in!

Then we had dinner out and a sleepover with the girls after VBS,

Beat the heat at Topz with some frozen yogurt,

And even took a trip to Neverland (with buddy Miles)

to celebrate Etta's & Kab's birthdays.

June was super fun!  Can't wait to see all that July has in store for us!

"Then followed that beautiful season...summer...

filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; 

and the landscape lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood."

~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow~

Till next time friends!
