Squeezing in Some Summer Fun

The week before Labor Day (yes, almost two months ago...) we had NOTHING on the calendar. NOTHING. That hadn't happened for a long, long time. So, we decided to have some summer fun.

We started with the spray park and farm! We checked out the farm first, just the three of us and then met up with Miss Laura and AJ and friends at the spray park!




(It looks like a lot of standing around in towels, but the DID play in the water.)

Later in the week, we took a long, meandering walk through the park to pick some Queen Anne's Lace to dye and we ended up wading for a bit.









They kept wondering why they didn't see any fish! AND they did not enjoy finishing their walk with wet shoes and shorts. But overall it was a lovely walk.

And we came home and made this:




The Friday of Labor Day weekend, we decided to go to the local park for a free concert. We didn't really know who was playing and it didn't really matter. We packed a picnic, grabbed a blanket, and some glow bracelets and we were set. Very nice evening, indeed.









I think these were Angler Fish, maybe?




It was so nice to have at least one week to enjoy the lazy, hazy days of summer!

Uncle Willis and Aunt Leah get Married!

In August we were pretty excited to join Uncle Willis and (Real) Aunt Leah for their rooftop, city wedding!



Nice venue, right? And the weather was beautiful. As was the ceremony. We got some fun pictures before the ceremony (so did the photographer, he liked the kiddos).





And this is the only picture of me that we got the entire day. Isn't that always the way??


Oh wait, and this one.







And then Milo arrived. He was the wedding attendant. Best Man AND Maid of Honor, I think.





Aunt Leah and her lovely mom got flowers for the kiddos. They really enjoyed them.




Notice G's fancy hair-do. I asked her what she wanted to do with her hair. She sighed at me and said, "I have to have a ballet bun. I'm going somewhere fancy."





Finally it was ceremony time!






The bride!





Red socks. Of course.













Colin LOVED the sparkling cider that he and sissy had.








A lovely evening for a lovely couple! We wish them all the best!
