Summer Fun

We've had a great summer so far. Throughout July, on Fridays, admission to the pool was free. We hit the pool each Friday, and the kids had a great time. The final Friday was the best, because Matt went with us, and 2 of our neighbors came with their kids as well....so the kids had lots of familiar friends to play with. I don't have any pool pics this year cause it's just too hard to take pictures and chase Nathan as well....so I'm sorry.

Last Friday, we went out to eat, and were seated at a table beside Jeff Hostettler, which I thought was pretty cool. We didn't ask for an autograph or anything, but I thought it was neat to be sitting close to a retired NFL player! We had originally told the kids we would go to the mall afterwards to play in the play area, but instead we just decided to head home and let them ride their bikes....which they thought was a great idea! I had the kids dressed in their matching outfits that Mom-o bought them. All their outfits had orange on them, and they just looked so cute....even Natalie sported her orange necklace and bracelet that Granny and Poppy got for her.

The kids also assisted Matt in cleaning his company truck the other day. I had taken Nathan with me to pick up some KFC, and when I got back to the house, the kids were soaked from head to toe and equipped with sponges and brushes. The had a fantastic time helping their daddy but were absolutely drenched! Since I didn't want our food to get too cold, I just put some clean underwear on them and let them eat their dinner in their undies!

Ready to ride....she's sooooo close to being able to reach the pedals. But for now she rides the "Flintstones" way.

Out of the way, Mom.....let me at least get out of the garage!

It's hard to ride and hold this ball at the same time.

Natalie giving the tire a good scrub.

Dripping wet and proud of it!
