Random things of late

We're kind of in the full swing of summer here. I think I can sum it up by saying we've spent a lot of time swimming, eating popcicles, and having picnic's. These are just some random pictures from the past few weeks. There is a nice big grassy area with lots of shade at Josh's office and we have been picnic-ing regularly back there. It's fun. The babies can crawl around and eat leaves (hopefully not too gross of leaves) and Emily goes on lizard hunts while I sit and enjoy the shade. Perfect.

We've also started an after dinner popcicle tradition several days per week that may be difficult to break when the weather turns cold...we'll see. Even the babies have learned that those colorful cold things on sticks taste really yummy.




All in all we've had a nice easy going summer so far and are looking forward to vacation and visiting family in a couple of weeks.

(babies took their first carousel ride...I don't think they quite knew what to make of it).




(Haley trying to steal my root bear at the State Capitol...great picnic place by the way).
