Easy, Breezy Summertime

We've been having a lot of fun the past couple weeks. Payton attended a "Candy Shoppe" camp at a local church where he learned how to make a different kind of candy each day. The good part was that he also brought home samples each day - yum!
We've also spent lots of time swimming in our neighbor's pool. They are so gracious to have us over all the time. It's much easier to go swimming at someones house right now rather than going to our community pool with Parker. He's not a big fan of cold water, so our neighbor's hot tub is perfect. They keep it "bath-water warm" so he can enjoy being a part of the whole pool experience without having to get into the cold pool. And yes, Parker is naked in this picture.

That's another nice thing about being in a friend's pool vs. our community pool. I don't have to worry about yucky swim diapers. There's nothing fun about wet diapers - be it from urine or pool water. Apparently, our little man prefers to skinny dip!

Last weekend when we were at their house, they had some leftover fireworks that we set off. My friend's camera has a "slow shutter speed" setting that allows her to capture cool pictures of the kids playing with the sparklers. As you can imagine, Payton had a ball.

This week, I took Parker and Payton to my good friend Rachel's beach condo for a few days. We had such a fun time playing and relaxing. Thanks Rachel - you're such a great hostess!!!

Next week Payton goes to another Vacation Bible School, then we only have 2 more weeks until school starts! Where did the summer go?!?! We have about half of our "Summer List" items crossed off, so we better get a move on! Happy Summering everyone.
