Summer Fun!

Erick and I took the kids to the park the other day.  We brought our picnic blanket and ate some nice, fattening KFC.  The kids always think it's so cool when we have a picnic!  I love that something so simple makes them happy. 



Mouthful of food!



B just loves being outside!



After our picnic, they ran around for a while, pretending the sticks they picked up were swords and kicking the soccer ball around. 

They played on the playground for a while, but they both love the slide and it was so darn hot to go down! I still can't seem to find a playgroud around here that is perfectly shaded so kids can play on everything at all times of the day. Which means we always have to go early in the morning. Oh well! We had a fabulous time!

 

The kids and I met Erick's mom at the Children's Theather and saw Jack and the Beanstalk.  Here's the kids are standing with the Golden Goose.

Let's see, what else have we done so far?  Swimming in the pool in the backyard, playing more at Botanica, going to ballet, tap and swim lessons with Ava (kinda stinks that B-man can't do sports until he's three), playing with the animals at Tanganyika, going to Build-a-Bear, taking walks, watching movies, playing in the room full of TOO many toys in the basement, trying to take naps. That's about it for now!

This is an awful picture but I had to take one because it was B-man's first movie.

Whew!  That was a lot of pictures!  We have definitely been trying to keep busy!
