Summer Fun

As I was looking through August pictures I realized there was a reason my house isn't the cleanest...we were busy having fun!

Cassidy started her first round of swimming lessons and loved it!



Only at our pool do they get to practice in kayaks...I love this area!

 The audience payed close attention to what was going on...as long as there were Cheerios

 Goin' ridin' involved a few extra steps, but we worked it out!

 And then there was the slip n slide that was by far the most fun to play on and for us to watch

It gets a little crazy around here....

 

We found a great deal on a sandbox, a real one with a lid, and couldn't resist...the girls couldn't either!

We were blessed to have lots of friends over to play often...so much fun

Then there were trips to the beach of course

 The twins did well on the outings with all the action to watch, but I wasn't brave enough to let them out.

 Our first trip to the NW Washington Fair in Lynden with Auntie Laura, her two nieces Marin and Drew, and step-mom Karen

Everyone got their face painted...what fun!

The food, ohhh the food.  Cassidy ate that whole ear of corn, plus some fries. 

 Of course it was "horse day" at the fair and we were able to watch everything from big draft teams to crazy little 4 abreast ponies with chariots...quite entertaining.  Not to mention the two monkeys we were sitting with

 Some sisterly love with Cassidy and Rylee

 Not as many crabbing trips this summer, but a few and Cassidy was right in the middle

 Summer means fresh blueberries and yummy blueberry pancakes

Sawyer and Rylee thoroughly enjoyed their pancakes, and the following bath!

 

As you can see, it's a pretty tough life around here, and I love every crazy minute!
