Sweet Summertime

This is truly my favorite time of the year.  I will forever be a school teacher at heart, and there is just nothing like sweet summertime!  Maddie, Lillian and Reed were here this weekend, and we actually spent 9 hours at the pool one day!  They did go in occasionally to eat, and Lillian made a tent under a swing and took a two hour nap.  But basically, we swam and played all day and into the night.  Then we ended the night with smores and catching lightning bugs.  Does life get any better than that?












But first, how cute is this? They both love being outside. My sweet family gives me a really hard time about my dog, but he really is a sweetie.  These two are buddies!

These two are also buddies!

After attending the girls Award's Program we headed back across the state.  We made a stop at Peach Park for a little ice cream and play time. Next post will be about the Award's Program.

About 5 minutes after we arrived home, they were in the pool.

The real fun began the next day when Uncle C, Aunt Tay, Tori, William and John Sawyer joined us!

Uncle C is the best playmate!

Fun in the little pool!

A little poolside snack.

Last fall, we cut every tree in the backyard.  The pool is warming up very quickly, which is great right now.  Probably not so much later in the summer. 

They will be back this weekend, and we are planning on doing another one of my favorite things-a trip to the river!!
