SUMMER FUN

Since I have slacked on blogging here is a quick update on the summer fun that we've been having!!
FIRST - of course SWIMMING!!

How to survive a summer with humidity - well you are wet already so just go swimming all day long! Here are some pictures of us having fun swimming at the Links pool.

Stanger's just got their pool working again too - so we've invaded them also - and they always say everyone is welcome so come on out too!!

SECOND - GirL's NiGhTs OUT to RiTa'S!

Leave the kids and have fun with the GIRLS! Deborah, Alisa and I had a blast at Rita's. There we lots of comments on how we all felt like teenagers again - we just would laugh about everything and really had a silly time!


Well one of the funny things was trying to get a picture with "the Hand Shot" and let's just say this is one that passed but believe me it was at least the hundreth picture which of course we still didn't all like - so we got someone to take a shot for us finally at the end :)



THIRD - CONCERTS in THE PARK!!


This is one of our FAVORITE things about living here - Rhett and I LOVE the concerts in the park during the summer. They are at a park real close by that we just walk to and bring blankets and lay and lounge and listen to the music, which is mostly good, of course some bands are better than others :)



Gunnar also loves the concerts - he runs and runs and laughs. Isn't this picture cute - you can really SEE how much FUN he is having!

Preston is caught dancing the only way he can right now - waving those arms!


FOURTH - CaRniVaL fuN!


It was both the boys first time to the carnival this summer as we hit the Sykesville Carnival. We all had a blast! Funnel Cakes, Rides, and BIG BIG Stuffed Animals!!

Yes that is right Rhett had to win at a game - so of course Basketball - he took two shots and Gunnar and him got to choose a stuffed animal.



Gunnar of course had to choose the BIGGEST one he could - so now we have TIGGER. Check out the size of him next to Preston - it was pretty funny! Preston really liked the tiger next to him in the stroller!




Last of ALL - BAUGHER'S


Yes, we went to baugher's for the first time this summer and now have been three times since! It is quite the place!!

We got to pick strawberries the first time we went and Gunnar ate more there then we actually brought home.

Then the next time we went it was mainly for the animals - Gunnar you can't get him away from them.


Now you can see Preston is at the grabbing stage where he grabs anything that he can and he too loved those animals!




We've gone with lots of friends too - here is Joshua and Suzanne on the teeter - taughter swing thing.

Oh and Deborah had a stroller that the donkey just loved or maybe he just really needed to scratch his bum ALL day Long!!

Camie,
You are looking very thin in that swimming picture. I can't believe you just had a baby:) I came home and had some chocolate and now I'm ready to let by-gones be by-gones...I forgive you for telling the truth today in church. Just teasing. I'll see you tomorrow at the meeting.
