A Little Summertime Part IV

This about wraps up our summer happenings. Summertime just flew by and we had so much fun. The last day of summer vacation we declared as "Yes!" day at our house, so as long as it was a reasonable request and didn't cost a lot of money, Mom and Dad would say "yes!" The kids loved it. We ended summer with our "Back to School Feast" complete with crowns, cupcakes (to make a wish on) and shared our favorite books. That evening Dad gave them their school blessings. Then next night for Family Night we took them to "Bounce" to get out all of the ants in their pants before school the next day. We had a great time- even Richard got sweaty. Enjoy!

Look at that smile!

A Little Summertime Part III

The 4th of July was on Sunday, so we had an extended weekend of "booming" fun. On Monday the 5th, the kids made their rockets and Richard helped them with the traditional rocket launch. The neighbor kids love this too. Lucy didn't like the noise, but Little B joined right in. We had fun playing on the "slippy slide" as Lu calls it and in the little pool. We ate a lot of junk and had a blast. Enjoy!

Where's Clara?
