Hello Summer

By -

With school out and activities finished, we ready for time together having fun!

The fun of getting on a raft in the water.

Then he helped Livy join him on it.

Yay for summer!

Charlie loves watermelon!


Lovie and Pops got the kids a new toy, the paparazzi raft!

Lots of handles to sit, stand, and lay down!



Just lounging.

Who will stay on?

This guy!


This girl feeling sassy.



They were all eager to work on skills in the water and got right up!



Mmmm! Yummy meatballs for sliders!

The kids checked out the neighbor"s water trampoline. Hard to climb up, but fun to jump off!




Like a retriever!




She loves to be with us on the boat!

We took a sunset cruise too. 












Good music, talking, and relaxing while we watch the sun go down.

We grilled hot dogs over the fire and made s'mores, feels like summer.

When smoke gets in your eyes!


Livy just couldn't stay awake.



After a nice evening, the kids were rested and ready for more water fun!





They are so cute together!




Our hearts are full after time together doing things we love in this beautiful place. With all of that, we remember those who served our country and gave their life for our freedom to enjoy the things we love.

I doubled the recipe to make a 13x9 size pan of it and I made 2 13x9 pans of it. The made plenty of "ice cubes" to fill 35 cups. They turned out really cute! My parents made this Elsa cake and did a fabulous job

Cloth vs. Disposable
