Summer Fun

Here's a collection of pictures from the summer months.

I love this one.  Celia sat down like that and looked and me and so Sabrina went over and sat just the same way and they both smiled until I took a picture.  Funny kids.

At the beginning of the summer, we still had our snow mountain.  The girls did a lot of bike riding this summer.  And the snow mountain was gone by Memorial Day.

Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa's gift of a glitter set, the girls spent TONS of time decorating the yard with glitter.  We ran completely out of glitter toward the end of July.  And I caught my neighbor trying to figure out what the blue sparkly stuff on her cabbage might be.  

Thanks to Pinterest, the girls also got to do some sidewalk painting.  They really had a great time with this and we'll definitely repeat next summer.

At the beginning of the summer, I had Celia make a list of all the things she wanted to do this summer.  She wrote one thing on her list: paint rocks.  We didn't get around to it until August, but when we did, it was everything she had ever dreamed of.  Maybe next year we'll use acrylic paint so the rain doesn't wash off their lovely work.

The girls also started playing so well together this summer.  One day, they decided they were both puppies.

Toward the end of the summer, we went to a lake in town and let the girls play in the sand and water.  They had a great time.

These pictures could have been replicated several times this summer.  The girls would insist on getting their own drinks from the hose...

And end up totally wet.

Celia climbed a tree in our yard.

And also began to show her talent with playdough.  This is a car.  It has a flat tire. See the tire in the back?  It's flat.  What a funny girl.

And one day she made Tarzan out of playdough and spelled it all by herself.  That's a vine he's going to swing on.

We also did some baking together this summer.

And the girls helped Daddy wash the car.
