summertime blur

We are on track to have the entire summer pass without a single posting. Ugh!

I'll let the pictures do the talking in terms of what we've been up to.

APRIL
Heartbreak Hill race. Kids had to show off to those Boston marathoners.
Waiting for the start!
Kate - the future marathoner
MAY
Julia turned 8! And chose to aim high this year for her party.
 
 

















Uncle Lloyd got married and the family had a big party in Vermont. It was the girls' first wedding. And they had a blast. We realized that while Kate may be the runner, Ella is the dancing queen. She will dance with you if you ask, but much prefers to be a soloist.
 

Arriving to scope out the dance floor
Let me show you how it's done
 

Ballerina
Karate kid. Better stay out of her way.
JUNE
After over a year of fundraising efforts, Julia got a new playground at school (right before school got out for the summer of course). Daddy basically built half of it. :)  And on our 10th anniversary nonetheless...wait, where's the trip to Italy or something?


JULY and AUG - means Cape Cod!




4 x 4 beaching
Not enough water really for paddling..but kids didn't care. Rookie mistake with tides.

Camp out
This is what camping has become since we've left Nickerson. Yikes. But the facilities sure are nicer...
Morning story time

But Nickerson still has the best frogging...


The frog and the toad
Kate and her critters

 Activities
The art project - worked this year! Thanks Aunt Joanne.
Julia's story corner

Guess the family member game
Family fishing time

Julia's solo paddle
Ella loves her princesses
Yum

After a hot bike ride, cool off with a Frozen Hot Chocolate.




Doing the drive-in right!




Watch out for sharks!
Wait a minute....

Kate's favorite expression
