Summer Catch Up

If I blogged about every fun thing we did this summer I'd never have time to have more fun.  So here's our summer catch up.

We enjoyed Teddy Bear Park and downtown Stillwater with Joey and Rosie a couple weeks ago.  Even though it was pretty hot, the kids had a great time playing together and Amanda and I had a great time chatting.  Of course there's always a pitstop at the candy store.  We also had lunch at Leo's.

One evening Victoria was really over tired and was having a terrible attitude.

I was at the end of my rope.  I literally couldn't think of a way to get through to her.

So I decided to take Christian to Dairy Queen. 

We got our ice cream and drove across the street and sat and watched the windmill.

He loves to see the windmill when we drive by it.  Unfortunately, the windmill was actually moving at that time.  That was a bit sad, but we still had a nice time together and when we returned Daddy had Victoria calmed down and in a fine mood.

At the beginning of the summer Guy and I took the kids to the Children's Museum.

The kids got along great and it was fun watching Guy in daddy action.

We've enjoyed Livi's pool frequently.

The kids absolutely love swimming.

Now that each can actually swim and we're not totally dependent on water wings it's been a nice change.

Of course, eating the foods of summer is always fun!!

We've spent  A LOT of time ennjoying the beach.

That's where the kids really gained confindence in the water.

I love to sit back and watch them play together and with other kids.

Our huge basket of beach toys attracts many children and it's great to

watch them meet new friends and work out conflicts together.

 This very soon - to - be - kindergartener

She is going to be an exhausted little girl in a month and a half!

More to come about our wondeful summer. . .
