Summer Fun

What fun we've been having.

The kids and I went for a fast overnight visit to see my best friend, Jenny in St. Charles. We did NOTHING and loved it. Just played in her pool!
Lounge chairs, ice trays, and a few bowls and the kids were content in the sun!
Doesn't it just look like a little piece of heaven?
Alaric gets better and better in the pool. Jenny's pool goes to 10 feet and he just put on his life jacket and kicked all the way over there- even dragging Mara behind him!

Finger paints are always a blast and we've been doing some creative Mommy N Me time together.

It took Mar a bit to get used to it but she was unstoppable!So much fun to get messy!
We made dozens of projects to share!
Now that Brian has weekends off, we are really loving our family weekend time. We love to go to the Monticello Railway museum to take their weekend rides. This time was the first time we've ever sat outside!

Al's also been taking some private swim lessons with our much loved babysitter, Emma! She's an amazing swim teacher too and Al will do things for her that he won't do for us.
We shared many picnic lunches with Brian when he worked at Allerton and now that he's on campus, we hope things won't change much. This time the venue is the quad and bri is more dressed up but the kids love it just the same. Frisbee on the quad is unbeatable!
Unless you are simply running and jumping off everything!

Al starts school in only TWO WEEKS!!! SO much more fun to come!
