Headed to the pool. Isabella and Kendall sure look up to Kayla.
Triple Play!
Dylan sure loves baseball. His coach is really good to work with and make sure the boys know what they are supposed to be doing. On Monday they got a triple play before the other team even knew what was going on. They caught a fly ball and tagged a runner and tagged a base for a force out where they didn't tag up. It was so exciting!

Dylan still eats, breaths, and sleeps baseball.

More water
Since school has let out Kendall and Dylan have worn nothing more than their swimming suits all day. Getting ready for bed this week Kendall said to me. I'm going to wear this tomorrow. (Pointing at her nightgown) I told her no she was lucky I hadn't made her get dressed in more than a swimming suit for almost a week straight. Amazingly she has 5 swimming suits she has collected so she doesn't even wear the same one 2 times in a row.
Things we like to do in the summer
1. Run through the sprinkler
2. Slip and Slide
3. Spray Parks
4. Pool.
5. Water Parks (coming later this month.)
This was the 3rd spray park we have been to this week alone. But the kids sure do have a ton of fun there.
Slip and Slide...
I remember as a child saving all of our pennies, (my sister and brother and I) and going to the store to buy a slip and slide. We loved this summer time activity. So when I saw one at the store for just a few bucks I figured the kids would love it.
It didn't disappoint.

Last Day of School
We are starting a tradition of running through the sprinklers on the last day of school. Here we are again this year playing in the water in the back yard...
1st Game!
On the way to the Game the boys were so excited. The excitement rubbed off on Kendall. And they were all smiles and excited to get started! Our first couple of games had been rained out so they were more than ready to put on their uniforms and start playing for "real".
Dylan batting... He got hits both times up to bat.
Coming home. Go Dylan!
Carter up to bat. He struck out both times. But tried hard and was a good sport.
Game 2 tomorrow...
Birthday Party Slide
Most weekends these days are spent racing from baseball practice to birthday parties. This particular weekend Dylan's friend had a party and his mom had rented this water slide for their backyard for the day. I bet you can't guess what Dylan wants to do for his birthday now.?

Chocolate Strawberries
For a craft one day the girls and I dipped Strawberries in chocolate. This was the day after I had braided Kendall's hair and that morning we had taken out the braids. She loved the way her hair was so curly that day. The girls didn't think they were very tasty but enjoyed dipping them in the chocolate. Oh well I guess more for me. They were sure cute making them though.
Recycle Project
The kids go to a "Green" School. This year towards the end of the year they collected and took to school almost everything I would put in the recycle bin for a week. Then they made projects from them. They had an evening where the parents were invited to come and visit and see their projects. After getting home Dylan raided the recycle bin again and made another "project" Here he is showing it off. I believe they are robots. This one even flies if you notice the paper wings.
Friends
Kendall loves to have friends over. We planned a play date just before school let out with Sydney. Kendall's other best friend. The girls had a great time playing at the indoor play place that is just their size. Isabella, Kendall, and Sydney playing on the deer.
