Summertime!

 

 

It’s hard to believe that we’re three weeks into our summer break already. It’s wonderful! Bill and I continue to chip away at household projects, but most of our time is spent playing with our favorite girl.

Vera enjoys being out in the boat. She likes to help her dad drive, play with the radio, try to pull the keys out of the ignition, and catch some rays in the back. We’re lucky she’s on board with lake time… it’s our favorite way to spend a sunny day.

We’re working on fostering a love for swimming by starting with this ridiculous froggy pool. Honestly, it was the only kind they had (well, I could’ve grabbed a crab…) Anyway, silly as it looks, this set up provides a little shade and plenty of splashing fun. Soon the lake will be warm enough for Vera to enjoy, but for now this works!

Here’s a random smattering of the cousins. Sawyer and Libby both have June birthdays, and we got to celebrate them this past weekend with all the family! I also got to spend a day last week with the Glass kiddos while their mom was at a training. We had a fun day. And of course the neighbor kids are always up for a little play time – Kate and Luke are great about sharing their outdoor toys with Vera. She loves all of her big cousins – and her “little” cousin Libby, too, who I think has passed Vera up in height already.

Summertime is always a favorite around here. It’s hard to want to do anything besides hang out at home with all of these lovely people.

    Can’t wait to get there and enjoy it with you! I love the froggy pool, by the way. Great idea. Does Grandpa Jimbo use it too?
