Here is our summer, in (lots of) pictures.
F cut his head on a rock. This picture was taken a couple months after the fact. I'm still waiting for his hair to grow back in completely.
They loved their new sandbox. Most of the sand is now all over the ground in various places. Guess we'll be refilling it next year.
C played soccer. Well, sort of. He was more interested in not listening to the coach. But at least he had fun kicking the ball all over the gym.
This is the extent of our fireworks on the Fourth of July. The rules are pretty strict around here. From the sound of it, our neighbors don't really care though. Maybe one of these times we'll go out and see what kind of show they put on.
Marc had a really cool summer this year, he broke his knee on the Fourth and spent the rest of the season in bed healing up.
C took swimming lessons. This year he was old enough to go in the pool without me. It was much hotter just watching! F had lessons too, but since I was also in the pool and Marc was home resting his knee, I don't have any pictures of that.
F played soccer as well. This was probably his favorite activity, making "ice cream cones." Most days he would play along for maybe 15 minutes, then he just wanted to run around the gym. I noticed on the sign-ups for the next session that parent participation is now required.
Both of them enjoyed playing in the backyard pool. We had plenty of hot days for it too!
We went through a whole box of Otter Pops this year. In the past I've had to throw out a bunch. We're sorry to see summer end, but fall has its benefits too!
