Summer Fun

Pictures of just some of our summer fun!

Poor Shadow.  I just had to laugh because Ava wrote this sign and stuck it on her while she was sleeping.  Boy, we need to work on those reversals!

When Meme visited she told the kids how we used to sit in the garage and watch thunderstorms.  Sure enough for the next thunderstorm they remembered, so we camped out in the back of the van to watch the storm.  I was sitting in a lawn chair next to the van, and as soon as the thunder got too loud they ended up sitting in my lap or standing close to me.  

We also went ice skating!  It feels so weird to bundle up in pants and sweat shirts when it is 80 degrees outside.  Dawson and Carter have been begging to go, and the ice rink has a really inexpensive lunch skate during the week.

Ava was skating really well without any help.  She didn't need to hang onto the wall at all.  We are still going to work on step, step glide.  Carter was racing around the rink, but the poor guy took a spill right onto his knee.  We've been making him feel better with ice and tylenol, and he enjoyed the extra Minecraft time.

I can't believe that the summer is half over already!  It makes me so sad to type that!
