Summer is our kind of season!

I don't know how I missed this very important even in my last post, but SCHOOL IS OUT FOR SUMMER!!!! Look how happy Lucy and Elliott look on their last day. I think Archie is leery of how this will affect his free time!!
Hooray for HEAT!!!! One of the wonderful perks of our new neighborhood is a great pool! We made good use of it all summer long. Archie has always been tentative around water: he panics when it gets in his face, and he hates it in his ears. But, he also likes to be scared, so it kinda worked. He LOVES splashing, and he got to do a lot if it here. By the end of the summer, he even let me carry him around in the pool a bit!

We knew we wanted to go camping this summer, but we also know that Archie is a champion sleeper in his own bed...everywhere else, not so much. So, we decided to do a dry run in our backyard. We called it at 11:30pm, after 3 hours of wrestling with him. We are counting on actual camping to wear him out enough to get him to sleep!

 We had many bike adventures this summer; safety was always a priority of course!

Archie got a medal for finishing his first semester at the Little Gym! He is doing so well at taking turns and waiting for instructions!! Now if we could just get him to stay at his stations, we'll be doing fine!
 Kicking summer off right with a trip to the ice-cream truck!
 Elliott finished up baseball season. His favorite position is still catcher--that's my boy!
 We were planning on riding our bikes to the Library, but about half way, we passed a very enticing-looking park, and decided to make this our destination instead: well played I think.
 And of course there's alway lots of fishing with Dad. Somehow, Lucy always ends up catching the most fish!! She's a natural.

 Summer days are the best.
