Farewell to Summer

Ah, summer, how we love thee. The long days of summer allow us to frolic outside, bask in the warmth of the sun, play in the pool, slide, swing and do all the fun things that kids like to do. Although it's still very warm here, the weather forecasters are predicting cooler weather in just a week or so. So here is a little tribute to summer.

Popsicles are up first, of course. They are a beloved treat in our house!

No picture of the kids is complete without the cheesy smiles!

Clothes seem to be optional around our house during summer. A few weeks ago, the kids all stripped down to nothing and then proceeded to color themselves all over. Luckily, they used washable markers to create these masterpieces.

Of course, a tribute to summer would not be complete without some water play. It's a very popular past time at our house. While we have a pool, it's gated off to keep the little kiddies out until they master swimming. Not to be deterred, Will makes good use of Sable's water dish to get his feet wet!

And here is a video of Will running circles around the new playground we found near the kids' school! It is a great place to spend a nice summer day.
