More Summer Fun!

My visions of a restful and relaxing summer didn't seem to pan out. 

With three active boys there is just too much fun to be had!! 

Someday I'll sit on our hammock, sipping my ice water, reading a book. ;) ha!

Until then, I'll cherish the time spent with my busy boys.

 In Maryland, celebrating cousin B's birthday party and enjoying 

Geo Trax with Uncle Jeffrey and family. 

 Playing ball with Daddy!

 And... one of our favorite locations this summer... the POOL!!! 

They were fearless and had so much fun on the diving board! 

Summer Fun

Here are some snapshots of our summer fun. 

Running races... definitely a favorite if it is not too hot. 

A great opportunity to practice humility as well as being a good winner and loser

Ethan shocked that he is edging out Luke for the win in this heat!

 Park visits:

Tree climbing BEFORE the hornet episode. 

 Slip n' slide:

This was super fun for about 30 minutes one hot afternoon. 

However, I'm disappointed to say that in only 30 minutes the sun was so hot that it completely burned out the grass under the slip n' slide. I was quick to remove it from the grass as soon as we were done, but by then the damage was already done. So... grass lovers beware... we have a rectangular patch of grass in the lovely shade of yellow to remind us of our 30 minutes of fun.
