Summmer Highlights

 We've been loving every minute of the summer with these two crazy kids.  Here are some highlights of some of the things that we have been doing. 

 

Petting zoo at White Fence Farm

 

Visit from Grandma Carol and Uncle Mike. 

 

Savannah somehow started this thing on the bath tub.  At first I tried to get her down because I was afraid that she would fall.  But then I realized it was more dangerous for me to try and grab her than it was for her to do her thing.  Thus...bath tub yoga...started to become a bath time ritual for Chance and Savannah. 

I can't get enough of all of the laughter that comes from these two at bath time. 

They've started trying to dress themselves. 

Try being the key word. 

We learned that Savannah can really advocate for herself...to put it nicely...so she was given the nickname "SAVANIMAL"

I took this picture right after Chance said:

 "Hey momma! I'll wink at you every time Savannah goes crazy for no reason."

Me:  "That means that we will be winking at each other all of the time..."

Chance:  "I know it will be our joke! Deal or no deal?"

 

Our favorite weekend past time is definitely still hiking. 

Chance is the leader and Savannah still rides in the pack...for now.

 

 

 

The kids love the little picnic snacks that we pack for them.  They think it's fun to lay out the blanket and drink their water after a hike. 

Max usually mountain bikes while we hike and then we all meet up after for brunch together. 

 

And of course we still love our neighborhood events.  The farmer's market every Sunday and the Blues and Brews festival 3 Saturdays in the summer. 

 

Not a highlight, but a first.  Savannah had her first trip the ER! 104 degree temp was the only indication that something was wrong.  Eight hours later ....our little fighter was diagnosed with a UTI and we were sent home and told that everything would be fine. 



 

Chance is always on the lookout for his little sister and a great pair of sunglasses. 

 

Lastly, you know it's not summer without lots of walks around Wash Park to feed the ducks and play on the swings.
