Summer Fun!

Summer always slips by so fast. School is less than 3 weeks away and we still have tons of fun we still need to pack in. Last weekend was no exception. Realizing that it was our last free weekend and we hadn't been out to visit my parents all summer, we loaded up and headed out for some summer fun swimming in the pool, visiting old high school friends, going to parks, eating yummy corn on the cob, and of course a fishing trip. (My dad claims it's for the grandkids, but I know better.)

Hunter can catch a fish and reel it in all on his own.

We caught plenty of fish that were good sized......but the ones that were the most exciting seemed to be the smaller ones.

Emma really wanted to keep this one and didn't understand why I wouldn't let her put it in her pocket.
This was one of the bigger ones.

I took the kids to a sprinkler park one day. They loved it so much that we stayed for 3 1/2 hours. It wasn't crowded at all so I was able to relax and read a good book. I even ran into an old friend there.

Why do kids love to do this so much? It just looks painful.

This was taken last week. Emma has recently mastered Linsey's OLD bike with training wheels. It's so nice to finally use it again after it's been hanging up in the garage for a few years. She and her little friend spent almost an hour riding in circles in our garage. They laughed and talked all while going in circles and never seemed to get dizzy.

We hope to pack lots more into these last 2 1/2 weeks. Summer's not over yet!
