Summer is supposed to be relaxing....

and we seem even busier than ever....what's up with that??

But the good thing is that we've been having a LOT of fun!

Last Friday morning the kids and I went with our neighbors to Bicycle Safety Town. It's a great little park that has all the "real" road signs and working stop lights, that a real road would have, except that your "car" is your bike. The kids had a blast! Thanks Elizabeth for inviting us to tag along...can't wait till we go again!

See how it looks like a real road...isn't that cool!

Look at Max go!

All the kiddos at the stop light!

Snack break!



We headed home to make it to the brown bag-it at the library. They had a few firemen with their firetruck there along with a few race cars...it was fun hanging out with friends and eating our picnic lunch.


Kids in the race car! Can you just see how excited Max was!


Then Saturday morning we took the kids over to the local Lowe's for the Built and Grow Program! The kids both made a golf putting green and we met our cousin Quinton there..which made it a lot more fun!




While at Lowe's, Andy decided to pick up some lumber so that he could come home and build this....what is it you ask? It is a massive 8x8 sandbox...cause we just don't seem to have enough dirt and grime floating about in our house. I have to say, the kids LOVE it, and that's what is important, right?!?!

Although, I'll be handing over the mop and bucket to Andy to take care of all that yucky sand coming into the house.



Oh, and we've been picking strawberries!


I LOVE SUMMER!

Way to go Andy....we built a 12X12 sandbox in our backyard, but we really waited too long to do it. The kids only really enjoyed it for a couple of years.
Enjoy your summer fun!
