Summer Days

Summer is here! We say welcome to warm weather, playing outside, swimming at the lake, endless sunscreen, water squirts, swim suits, star-gazing, farmer's markets, playgrounds, garden peas, allergies, hummingbirds, demolition derby, rodeos, carnivals, flyfishing (except for Austin, who's in the river in JANUARY), boating with Moms & Dads, camping, summer hiking & SUNSHINE!

Needless to say, we are so excited for summer. We went to the lake twice this week, and are going again on Saturday with the whole family. Austin is teaching Ethan to swim & are having grand water fights that usually end up with me getting soaked as well! We made completos the other night (its a Chilean "uber" hot dog with lots of veggies & stuff) which were SO good. Greg knows what I'm talking about... Can you get any more in your mouth Aust?

We went to Rainbow Bay with Charlie & Dona last time & had fun kayaking & swimming. Austin caught s carp & was SO proud of Aubrey who reached for it just as the photo was snapped! That's our girl... She turned 5mo old today - time is going way too fast.

Ethan has discovered the joy of the Farmer's Market... mostly because he got a shaved ice & a cotton candy - you can see the before & after evidence! It only we could describe the sugar rush afterward!
Good thing its at the park where there's lots of energy burning stuff to do! Ethan discovered the monkey bar dome & now knows he can't hang on with one hand anymore... blisters & the lovely scrape on his forehead. (sigh) Boys...

Ooohh Completos!!! There is nothing like avacado, mustard, ketchup, mayo, tomatoes ect...on a hot dog. We love the picture of Aubrey with the fish (good job training her young.)

Your pictures always make me wish I lived closer to you! Summer is definitely my favorite time of the year... except for the HOT days when I'm not at the beach or chill'n with Elia in her little pool :) Blogs are AWESOME!
