This summer is going by so quickly. I'm not sure if that's a good thing, considering the scorching heat we're enduring; or a bad thing, since the fun will have to come to an end sooner than we'd like. We've been having a great summer so far. We had a fun visit with some of Jarod's family, and we're looking forward to Kerilynn's visit in a couple weeks. We've also taken opportunities to visit the movie theater and swimming pools. Last week we spent the early afternoon at the pool with the kids, and evening at the movie theater/mall with my folks. My parents treated us all to the movie UP, a real tear-jerker, and dinner in the food court. The kids loved it. They even convinced Mama and Papa to let them ride the little mechanical rides in the food court. It was such a fun day.
My yard has looked cheerful with all the flowers blooming, and the fence lined with Canna lilies taller than the fence.
The pool we were at has a beach entry, so the kids would run up to these lounge chairs at the top of the beach entry, lie down and then race to get back in the water. 


Josh loves his goggles. As soon as he knows we're going to the pool, he wants to put them on. He has no fear when it comes to swimming. He just jumps right in, which scares us a lot. He likes to kick in the water, and get tossed. Carly is more hesitant about going under water, but was really brave the last time we went, putting her face in the water on her own.
We had such a fun time at the movie. The kids are so good in the theater. They love to get their booster seats and eat popcorn and candy during the movie. It was great to see UP in the late afternoon. I think there were only 8 other people in the theater. The kids had such fun expressions and exclamations during the movie.
I laughed out loud at this smile.


It was such a fun day for us all. Carly is such a sweetie. She always expresses her thanks for the activities we do. She was sure to tell me thank you for taking them to the pool and movie. Sometimes I have a hard time not laughing when she's thanking me for something. The other day she thanked me for coloring and told me that "it makes my heart happy." She comes up with the cutest sayings.
