Oh, what do you do in the summertime?

 

We don’t have a “real” pool but the kids get good use out of our little wading pool.  I put Benjamin in there and he was pretty sure he was one of the big boys.  He loved it!

Benjamin got a little daring and starting reaching to the grass, he almost went out on his head!

 

Austin and James spend a lot of time under the shade of the tree, digging in the sand/dirt.  Benjamin would love to be out there too, but he can’t be trusted.  He likes to eat leaves and taste rocks.

 

This summer, we decided that we needed something fun for our backyard.  Trampoline won.  And of course, blue and orange.  So far we have all had fun jumping.  I’m keeping my fingers crossed that there won’t be any trips to the ER.

And of course picnics.  This one just happens to be a pancake picnic, but we like all sorts of picnics.

Before the summer is over, we hope to do more things like more swimming, camping, biking, etc.  We’ll see how much we can fit in!
