summer fun

We have had a wonderful summer full of water park fun, canning, playing in the neighbors pool, jumping on the trampoline, visiting local parks and of course ice cream shops and all the fun, free family community activities we could find. Here is just a sampling.



















In addition Ben outgrew his turtle sandbox. (Well, he and is toys.) Joseph spent the better part of one Saturday constructing a new one for him under a tree by the swing-set. He loves it. I am glad that he likes to play there. I can see him from the kitchen window and love to watch him construct. We feel so lucky to have him.
Today we are going to the Library for their free movie. It will be Cars. They serve popcorn in cute popcorn boxes and the kids love it. I'll try to get a picture to post because it is just so cute.
