Summer Fun

It's time to play catch up.

We've been busy and had so many visitors --
and I've been enjoying it all instead of taking pictures.

But here's a couple -- just for a brief update.

Lizzy and cousin Sam watching the 4th of July Parade.
They even had a lawn chair brigade.
Cooler than it sounds.

Lizzy making the best of rainy days -- splashing in the "wa-wa."

Pool time.

Maga and Boppa came to visit new baby James. (Sorry, not a good pic of the new kiddo.)
It was so great to have them here -- and I think they enjoyed the grandchildren.

More counsins!

Jack, Drew, and Brittany came for a night. Ben and Jerry's was a must because of this. . .

The Vermonster! 20 scoops of ice cream, caramel and chocolate sauce, 4 bananas, 4 cookies, 1 brownie, walnuts, Reese's Pieces, gummy bears (wouldn't recommend those), Oreos, and a top layer of whip cream! (Drew, let me know if I left something out.) All in a one gallon bucket. It was wonderful -- and we all felt ill after. We even declined the free sample at the end of the tour.

And last, but definitely not least -- Dallin's summer project. With a little help from Nate, Dallin built the bottom deck. I didn't get a "before" picture, but I like the "after" better anyway.
