I've taken snapshots throughout the summer but I've been terrible about posting them! We've stayed so busy all summer long and I can't believe this is our last week before school starts. Every summer is a little more fun as the kids grow a year older. We made a bucket list at the end of May and we've marked everything off except for water balloon fight. I will work on finding water balloons this afternoon I guess! I'm always so sad to see summer go. I love having the kids to myself. I love not setting an alarm clock. And I love getting together with friends that we don't get to see as much during the school year. We've had a great summer :-)
The kids went to Backyard Bible Camp at Aunt Kara's house this year and Presley came back to our house to play the last day. They jumped over the sprinkler for an hour!
We took the kids to Hawaiian Falls for the first time and they loved it of course. Ava went down every slide she was tall enough for and Keegan pretty much parked it in the wave pool besides a few slides in the toddler area.
They loved playing "bumper floats" in the pool
We had an eventful 4th of July that started at the Beach pool, moved to Watters Creek and ended with Fireworks!
Aunt Kara and I took the girls to Six Flags. Ava earned a free ticket for completing a reading log in January/February. She proclaimed it the best day of summer! She LOVED the rides despite the lines and heat.
We went out on the lake with good friends and the kids had a fun day of tubing behind the boat!
We made a trip to our snow cone pirate ship....
Free Slurpee on 7-11. Ava always has it marked on her calendar :-)
(Love the photo bomb in the back)
Swim dates with precious friends!
The kiddos are in love 'Presely's pool' They've become quite brave on the diving board and slide!
This is one of the only times this summer they actually begged me to take pics.
Ava finished her summer reading log last week for our library and the librarian gave her lots of coupons for treats (like Sonic ice cream) and she picked out a book to keep ;-) She loves to read!
Both kids finished up their indoor summer soccer league. They both LOVED it! They are both
going to be playing in the fall.
And Ava turned 7 last weekend! More on that to come. We celebrated early with her best friend Abigail who shares the same birthday weekend. Look how they've grown. 5 summers later we have second graders!
I can't believe baby Ava is 7 years old!
