Well! We arrived back to Virginia just in time to celebrate a very rainy 4th of July! Fireworks were rained out, but we were really quite happy to just stay home and keep unwinding from our vacation! LOL
The brand-new mini-bats we got at the Slugger Museum made a great addition to our photo!
Red, white and blue dessert!
We had an awesome summer morning out in the yard with Eden over to play. We hooked up the Slip 'n Slide for it's first go this summer, and they kids had such a fun time!
A little popsicle break! Then we did held a toy/car wash. While all of this fun playing was happening, I vacuumed all unwanted souvenirs from vacation out of the car, swept out, cleaned out and organized the garage and supervised the car washing. I also convinced the kids it was a super fun idea to "paint" the porch with water, and they got it so much cleaner! HA!
Well, summer is going to be a bit of a workout around here this summer... :/ The boys are living the saying of, "The days are long, but the years are short..." They are up SO early, and the disagreements start just as early. There will be a lot of breathing in and breathing out... So, to celebrate surviving my first week of summer, we had a date night to go out kayaking! It was lovely and the water felt so peaceful!
A morning visit to the Zoo, and we discovered a wonderful selection of temporary art pieces made completely out of trash taken out of bodies of water and beaches!
He's SO big...!!!
We always love a trip to the Zoo, but this one was a little bittersweet, because the Carrillos are our SECOND set of friends THIS SUMMER to leave us for Texas :( It's a pretty great new adventure, though, and we are happy for them even though we'll miss having them close.
So well trained!!!
Cheesy photo op
The 4th of July is always a great start to summer tradition followed closely by FREE SLURPEE DAY on 7-11...
...and Cow Day at Chick fil a!!!
We had such a great time with our Super Cow costumes last year that we modified them just a smidge and used them again!
Those three faces are alarmingly cute... ;)
LOVE movie dates with this fella!
Water beads keep us happy
Good friends take you to the beach and provide not only good conversation, but also friends to occupy your children and this view :)
