Fun at the park
The kids have gotten a lot braver on the playground equipment this year. It's been fun to watch them.
Fishing lure bench. There are lots of fun benches along the greenbelt (walkway around the river) and the kids like to stop and sit on them all.
Discovering what plants we have in our yard has been interesting. Love the pretty flowers that have been blooming! We are waiting to see if the grape vines produce.
Playing in the sprinklers on a hot day
No school=Shopping with ALL the kids. (FUN!!) Can't you just see the excitement on Ben's face?
We signed the girls up for weekly dance classes for the summer. They are loving it. I was a little worried that Megan would be the kid sitting in the corner, crying...like swimming lessons last year. But she got right into it and it is so fun to watch her follow along. At the end of her first day she came running out with a smile on her face and said, "Mom, I'm so HAPPY!!....there are NO BOYS IN MY CLASS!!" Apparently she just doesn't like boys. Hopefully she has no boys in her preschool class in the fall, too:) She is the only girl in her sunbeams class at church.
Ben cruising at the park. Can you tell it was windy that day? (Like most other days in Idaho)
Riding the ferris wheel at the park. A one-time event....since it cost over $9 for the three of them to ride! They did get a private ride though.
Fun with food.... Nothing like marshmallows and toothpicks to keep you occupied on a summer day. And Ben has discovered a new favorite food...WATERMELON! Yum!!
Happy 4th of July!! (Or as the girls have been calling it: Patriotic day). We are going to try to watch the fireworks from our house -- we have seen a few test runs and it seems we can see them at least from one bedroom window. Maybe we will get more adventurous in future years and watch it by the river, but this way Ben can go to bed and we can actually enjoy it. At least that is the hope.
Hope you are having a fun summer, too. What have you been up to??

sounds like a fun and cool (weather wise) summer. Got to try the marshmallow toothpick thing sometimes looks fun. Can we just come over and spend the summers with u guys? it's so hot here, well except for the 4th of July -- it decided to rain for a change--and it hasn't rain in a year.
Sure, Evisa! Come on over. But only if we can spend the winter at your place :)
What fun! Makes me long for those carefree summer days. Although without a job maybe I can do the same thing. haha I'm glad everyone is enjoying dancing, boy-free! :) Oh yes, and lots of great helpers when shopping - lucky you (and Ben)! :)
