It's Officially Summer!

I am not exactly sure why but I wasn't as excited about summer as I should have been.   Last "summer" we had a newborn and an 18 month old which didn't leave as much time for the typical summer outings so I think I forgot what summer was really like.  So far this summer is off to a great start and we are going to enjoy all the time we have together as a family before Matt starts his 12 month job in July.  Until then, though, we still have the next month off to play and that is exactly what we are going to do!

We kicked off summer with a beer in hand wiffle ball game.  Matt played and the kids and I cheered him. 

  
We have been keeping busy around the house...
Boxing alligators
finger painting
trying out the new ipad ( from school)
Being goofy! Gotta love the bed heads.
We visited the 50th State Fair on Memorial Day.  We went on all the kids rides and Abby was upset that she wasn't big enough...but was content to know that someday she could go on them.

 We got both kids on the helicopters, ferris wheel and carousel and Abby and I went on the car ride and the dizzy dragons.  Even the kiddie rides are a little tough when you get old!
Of course we had to finish the fair with cotton candy.  It wouldn't be the same if you didn't eat horrible food and I have always had a thing for cotton candy!  Turns out the munchkins liked it too.

I am looking forward to enjoying the rest of our summer!
