pool party

Whew! It's been very, very hot. Perfect for splashing in a cold pool!

Evyn invited a friend over for a "pool party."
Andrew particularly liked the slip & slide.

A recent sunny day at the C.'s:












Evyn has been taking swimming lessons again this summer, and it's really paying off!

class party

Late last month we organized a kindergarten party/reunion for Evyn's class. We met up at Overlook Park- a favorite place of ours - check out this recent article about the park.

The kids had a great time seeing each other again. Their teacher came, too, and the kids all ran to hug her and tell her about their summers.










See this rock wall? Evyn has climbed it many times.


For some reason, on this particular day, Evyn decided
to jump FROM THE TOP OF IT.
She wasn't hurt, but she gave herself quite a scare!
Funny kid - and so unlike her!

Take a look at the pictures of the wall from our last visit - they do a better job showing just how high up she was when she jumped.



Back at home after all the fun, Andrew found a box to climb into.

Evyn is a great help, keeping an eye on Andrew when I have things to do.

Sometimes it results in moments like this:







(Andrew LOVES playing dress-up!)

That's how many pictures I am currently downloading from my camera. Yikes, that will keep me busy for a while! I've been slacking, but I will sort them out and post a few soon :)
