Making the most of these summer days

Alyssa and Cherise are so good about keeping me supplied with cell phone photos. They usually have explanations of what's going on in each picture.

Backyard playin'

 Rowan and Katie were supposedly fighting "bad guys" but Katie got distracted by an airplane.

 To the park walkin'

 Katie ran ahead to catch up with Rowan because she got scared by a barking dog.  He held her hand the rest of the way to the park.  What a good big brother!

At the park playin'

Henry, Anabelle and Cherise have been busy exploring their new neighborhood.  This park isn't far from the zoo but it would be too hard to play at the park and go to the zoo in one day. So they decided to go back to the zoo on another day.  They have also been enjoying the swimming pool at their apartment building. Both Henry and Anabelle are real water babies. Maybe it's because they were both water births. I think it has more to do with the fact that their mother loves the water and swimming. They've been in and around it all their lives.

At the beach baskin'

 Cherise's family got to walk on the beach this Saturday morning. Cute cover-up, Reesie! 

The sunshine, surf and sand sure look inviting.

Sewing project?...waitin'

I'm going to make Evie and Katie new flannel blankets for when they visit here. They can then take them home and have souvenirs from Gramma's house.

Love those little hedgehogs!

and those granddaughters!
