Normally we do a TON of traveling in the summer. But with Mamie being home less than 2 months, we thought it best to stay put for a bit. We will go to the beach in July but that's about it! So instead of multiple beach trips and some business trips I usually take with Charles, here is our summer at a glance.
Let's see... Maxwell is on the swim team this summer and has his first meet tomorrow night. So cute! He is LOVING it. Elliott thinks he is on swim team. With floaties. And Mamie... well we are just thankful she loves the pool! But with her unbelievable strength she will probably out swim both boys by the end of summer. Sorry no pics at the pool though. It's enough just to make sure 3 kids don't drown. Much less take that super cute photo. Pictures of the slip 'n slide will have to do.
Let's see what else. Lots of time at playgrounds, bike riding, working in the vegetable garden with Charles and various and random other outdoor (and indoor if necessary) activities. Oh and my birthday. The big 3-5! Ummm... mid-30's. Not too exciting. But Charles and I did go out on our first date since Mamie came home! We put her to bed, ran out the door yelling directions at my parents of what to do in case she woke up, scarfed down our food, and came home in record time. But we were by ourselves!
And that's all so far. Folks, it's kind of nice not to have much to say. Taking it easy at it's finest. (And note, this is our summer by Instagram. I haven't pulled out our real camera since school was out!)
VERY cautious at first
Getting the hang of it
Full on fun
Birthday Date Dinner!
Shopping is an outdoor activity right?
A little too much summer fun left this girl fast asleep in the middle of lunch.
Those teeth finally came out!
Elliott's zucchini. Took us 2 nights to eat it all. All 5 of us.
