Great way to end the summer


Friday night Brian & Hailey “camped out” in a tent in the middle of the living room. They watched movies, ate junk food and stayed up way too late. The girls had so much fun playing in the tent that I’ve left it up. Saturday we watched the Ringwood Fair, where we indulged in Snow Cones from Uncle Rex & Aunt Robin and Sunday was the perfect day of rest. Just hanging out with the family, watching the girls playing in the water and the cardboard box/tent. Top that off with pizza for supper and you have the perfect day. Monday was non-stop. Hailey rode her bike in the parade & won 1st place in her age group - $5 – not bad! She also did the bike races and foot races and won another $1. The rest of the day she spent playing & swimming with her friend Morgan. Then a wiener roast at the farm with S'mores & home-made ice cream. YUM!

This has been the best summer! Both girls love the water. Kaitlyn likes playing in a bucket of water – literally. She can sit down in and usually tries to take off her bathing suit & diaper and run around in her birthday suit. And Hailey has really taken to the water. When she swims, most of her time is spent under the water – hard to believe that just a year ago she was too afraid to put her head under for a second. We had to bribe her last summer with mini Milky Ways!

Makes me kind of sad to see summer come to an end.
