Living the Dream

Leslie and Abby have a hard time warming up to people, but here's proof that they like my mom!

 Who knew playing in the laundry basket could be so much fun!

The parks here are great and have become our best friends this summer. Unlimited hours of free entertainment!

Sister bonding time...

 Emily's picture of Ariel...I'd say she did pretty good!

The girls doing their exercises...I think they're making fun of me!

Two weekends ago we went on a date with Dad, Mom, Joel and Melanie to see 'South Pacific'. It was so fun! Dad didn't want to be in the picture, so he insisted on taking it. P.S. My teeth aren't really that big...

On Saturday we drove up to McCall to visit my cousin Lucinda and her family. They took us on a hike to a beautiful lake. The kids loved exploring.

Our family (minus Leslie who stayed behind). 

Emily had so much fun playing with Allyson (6) and Lydia (3).

After our hike they took us to eat some amazing ice cream and then to the beach. The kids were in heaven! Of course before we headed out of town we hit up the Pancake House. It did not disappoint. What a great visit!
