Summer So Far...

We are midway through summer, and we haven't gone on any big vacations, but we have been busy.
  Here is our summer so far:

We have made cat toys


 And taken cat naps

We've been to celebrity baseball games where Dirk, Charles Barkley and Thomas's coach Jason played


And we've been to Rangers games with friends.

We've done a lot of swimming, and even had some rainy days. A basketball hoop for the pool has been a well loved new purchase in this house full of boys.


We made smores one night in the back


Wendy and Charles have wine, chips and guac on the patio a LOT.

Which can lead to dancing if a good song comes on.

We went to the Arboretum for an outdoor concert and to view some beautiful art. Chihully glass sculptures. It was gorgeous and fun and VERY hot.







Friends have been over to play and swim


And we even watched the cement truck pour the neighbors new walkway
 All the kids added hand prints...which were later covered by stone.

And we celebrated Grammy's 70th birthday on a big Catamaran on the lake





Cousin Zachary was here for that party, so we got some quality time hanging out with him.


We had a girls night out painting, which was tons of fun


 And did I mention baseball? There has been LOTS of baseball. The Rattlers have played in 5 tournaments, with the last game of the World Series tomorrow.  The boys have had very few scheduled activities this summer, and lots of down time during the day while I work (ie. boredom) which is what summer is all about!

The second half of the summer will be the Pines camp and a beach vacation and a little bit of relaxing.
