Summertime Bliss

We love summer!!!  It is such a fabulous time of year!

 We love playing in our backyard!

 This was our scene every Tuesday.  The girls would go to piano lessons and then after piano we would walk across the street to this sand volleyball court just outside of the swimming pool.  We would build sandcastles and eat a picnic until the pool opened up and then we would go swimming.  It was great fun in the sun!

 Sofie's new favorite location, on top of any table.

Pool Rats!!  We seriously spent every after noon in June and most nice afternoons in July at the pool.  We love swimming!

Watch out, Sofie!  Here comes an Ava-gator!

Check out Will's vampire hair do!

Loving the lounge chairs!

It looks like Lily is accusing Sofie of something....

Look at that face!  I could just eat her!

Sofie used to protest and throw a fit every time I tried to do her hair.  But then when I realized that they may be the very last baby piggy tails I ever did, I decided that I had to force her!

Aren't they cute piggy tails??

Basement tea parties are a must in the summer.

And the best part of all, ice cream cones!!!!
