one of my fave pics from the summer on a family walk. I love Sammy's arm around Elsie and Danny's foot on Elsie's. They really do love each other when they are not fighting.
Elsie walking yoshi on one of our family walks
Our summer was fantastic, we did lots of visiting friends, hanging at playgounds, swimming, camping, and beaching it. The kids spent so much time swimming they ditched their bubbles by mid-summer. They now jump in the deep end, swim underwater, practice handstands, and pick up dive sticks. Sammy is even trying to dive from the side (video below). It's so exciting!
We were walking to a yard sale, and Elsie said "oh a rock, let's take a picture mom!"
We spent some nice afternoons at Auntie Cathy's swimming in the pool.
Danny likes to cover up in the sun after he swims to warm up. He doesn't like any water less than 85 degrees. Grammie's pool has been 86-88 all summer and he'll swim all day.
We ate cherries, Elsie liked them!
Sammy hugging his Grammie
Our new summer obsession is spray bottles. My mom picked some up at the dollar store and the kids use them to 'clean' everything. They spray anything and everything with their bottles. The good news is this keeps them occupied for quite a while.

Danny has this adorable saying. He says 'Mom, it's a BUTEAL day'. He is so genuine when he says it. He loves summer and the warm weather, just like his Momma. The other sweet thing he says is 'my Els'. Mom, my Els got an awesome Ariel backpack! Mom, my Els doesn't like corn. He loves her so much. They may fight 10 out of the 12 hours they are awake, but there's some love down deep in there.
ice cream date with Sophie!
We went to the beach early in the summer and Sam bravely swam for a while. Then he came over and needed some warm up snuggles.
Sammy said "mom, I'm listening to the ocean"

Pool fun at Debbie and Derrick's!
Parker loves to swim too!
Love Danny's face here as he is squirting his sister
Love this video, catch Sammy's dive about halfway through
Our first time fishing!
Here is a cool video that catches Danny casting
A wonderful day with Barbara and Donna! I love our yearly visit. These women hold a special place in our hearts for sure.
Danny loves dancing. He's been sporting some hot moves this summer. Our favorite songs are Meet me in the middle, Finesse, and Havana. Here they are dancing to Havana, Danny loves the 'Hey' part and Elsie loves the 'Na na na' part. Excuse my frustrated voice as we danced to the song for 30 min, and I pull out the phone to get a video and it turns into a 3-ring circus.
Singing Happy Birthday to Mommy!
Playing (inside) with our pogo sticks...these things are so cool! Thanks Auntie Anne!
This month's project was book ends. The kids love painting their projects.
We went to Bourne Scenic park to visit Wayne and Corinne at their campsite. It had a nice playground, and a super cool bouncy!
We went for a long bike ride on the canal and around the campground
then we swam in the pool for a bit
a few more days of camping at Peter's Pond in Sandwich with Grammie
Our next big adventure this summer was our first baseball game!
We had an awesome day with great friends!
we got to practice out on the field, the kids loved it!
