We've been picnic-ing. Do you like my picnic basket? If the boys (including Mike) had their way we would do this every night but it is a little extra work loading everything up. Now every time I pull out a Pyrex 9x13 (see bottom of basket) Sam thinks we are going to the park for a picnic.
We kicked off Memorial Day weekend by going to 4th Friday (Uptown street fair. You guessed it, every fourth Friday in the summer.) Sam got to sit in the driver seat of a Firetruck and we measured him against the wheel. We also bought some delicious cookies from a street vendor; she makes them in her home and has a small business.
We also went camping with Nunny, Papa, and Aunt Raeann for the remainder of Memorial Day weekend. By camping I mean we stayed in their campers with full kitchens and bathrooms and air conditioning. And by camping I mean, Ray and Mike went back to Nunny and Papa's both nights to sleep in real beds and Sam and I joined them the second night. Here are the boys tuckered out after a day of camping; I thought the mirror symmetry they are making was funny.
Roses and Iris's are in full bloom! The roses heavenly smell flutters into our bedroom. (There is my poetic sentence of the day.)
Sam and his cousin, Bella, tried out the pool for the first time yesterday. They had lots of fun and even were adventurous enough to slide into the pool. Does anyone else love the smell of water from a hose?! Mike thinks it just smells like rubber; I think it smells like SUMMER FUN!
i love that smell! but i'm too afraid to drink from a hose ever since i watched an episode of pop up video when i was 8 where they said that you could get diarrhea from it...
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like being so thirsty that you drink from the hose. That is pretty much the best tasting/smelling water that summer can offer. Zetta agrees.
ReplyDeleteMatthew - I'm glad Zetta agrees. Remember when we would fill up the pool how amazing it would smell - the plastic liner and rubber hose!
ReplyDeleteKerry - Oh come on, everything gives your family the Big D!
All of these pictures are great. I especially like the one of Sam getting measured in front of the wheel.
