Summer Time

and the livin' is easy.  Ok, I know it was cheesy, but I couldn't resist! : )  Summer used to be my least favorite time of the year.  I really don't enjoy hot weather and much prefer to bundle up with a blanket, a fire and a cup of hot chocolate!  However, with little people running all around, I've discovered that summer is a lot of fun for them, and for me!  We've had so much fun doing all kinds of outside activities (not really including this last week of the heat wave!).

Little miss likes outside, but we're still working on all of our tricks inside, like sitting up and figuring out these toys! 

We went to pick blueberries in Darlington, and as you can imagine there was a lot of this . . .

and this . . .

and this . . .

There were some very satisfied little boys walking around those bushes.

A lot of silly, clean fun after splashing all morning in the pool

Jumping "all together" as it's called in our house, is way more fun!  What you don't see in this picture, is the little fish that this boy has become.  He can jump off the side of the pool, turn and swim to the side all without any help!  When he decides he's going to do something, there's no stopping him!

This guy likes the pool and the water, but he's just as content to sit and have a snack . . . or two or three. : )

We've also had fun inside at some cool places like Edventure.  My camera died, so I didn't get many pictures, but we had a blast!  We probably could have stayed another hour or two, so I think another visit and a membership will be in order for a birthday!

Snack is always more fun when it's outside at the picnic table!

And of course, what's summer without a popsicle?!

Thanks to Grandma, we've made our own posicles almost every day with these fun twist pops!

And pretty much any time of year is good for some bubbles!

What about you?  Have you enjoyed your summer as much as we have?
