SPLASH!

Until this last week, our summer has been filled with summer school, basketball camps, basketball tournaments, girls camp, baby-sitters, and ear infections. It has been absolute torture to have such beautiful weather (finally!) and have to be cooped up inside. I am very grateful for the chance that I had to teach summer school, but let's face it, summer school is NOT fun!

Finally June is over and I can actually enjoy the rest of my summer. July is wide open and although it is only July 8, I am already in heaven! I'm pretty sure that Ryan was absolutely scarred by the three weeks of straight babysitters. Every morning he asks, "Mommy, are you staying home with me today?" It breaks my heart!

The past few days we have hit up an awesome pool by our house, been camping, watched fireworks, gone on a LONG bikeride, and played at the splash pad! Ahh....finally, SUMMER! I'm amazed at how much Halle loves the water and camping. She is like an angel baby (when she doesn't have a HORRIBLE ear infection).

Here are a few fun pictures from the last few days:


"Mom, I kicked like Spider Man!"

I think her hat successfully shades her face;)


I can see...
Lovin' some pasta!
The aftermath of a delicious dinner:)
BIG smiles

Looking for the ducks...

Still looking...

Attempt at a group picture but Ryan is still looking....
