{Summer}snapshots

By the official calendar, summer has not started yet...but by our calendar...it's been sailing on by already!

We stayed a night away in a little cabin last weekend...

Dan took Alex and Emily to the Indianapolis 500...a yearly tradition that he's continued with the kids, since he was a kid...

{...Ellie and I held down the Manor while they were having fun...}

We made red,white&blue slushies, waved sparklers and caught lightening bugs on Memorial Day...

Tossed water balloons...

Sunny skies...

Rainy days...

Swinging...

Picnicing...

Shopping...

Staying up late...and taking an afternoon nap{if we're lucky!}...

Family pool party...

Campfires...

Ice cream...

Volleyball...

Celebrated Shelbie's high school graduation...

{Congratulations beautiful Shelbie!}

{Elizabeth and Uncle John}

{Did I miss anything?}

It's been a week of fun and sun...and most importantly...no homework!  Hoo-ray for summer!

 
It's only been about a week since we officially started our summer...but it's going so fast...and we are cherishing each day...yet looking forward to summer camps, vacation and more relaxing days by the pool!  Emily loves school and she misses it and her friends...but I am loving having her and Alex home as long as I can!  I'm still a little bit in denial that they will be third and fourth graders very soon...{gulp}

Wish I could push a summer slow-motion button some days...
...sigh...
