No clue where this summer went - especially the month of August. Soo.... like most of my posts this one is a month late (where is that little emoji with the monkey with his hands over his face??!!)
Anyway... the second week of August Wendy and the boys made a trip to Florida! Originally this was going to be during Reese's birthday but since Grandma Lori was coming down for that we decided to stretch it out to two weeks later. Needed to share the family love across more time!
When Reese was born it rained for like 10 days straight. I think that pattern shifted to the second week of August this year because when the Webers were here IT RAINED NON-STOP!
But guess what... this rain didn't stop these kids from having fun! If there wasn't a threat of lightning you could find them in the pool or huddled up under the lanai watching cartoons outside!
Morning fun! Good thing we only got a few toys out. LOL
The rain and the pool are fun... but maybe not ALL day. So we decided to pile in the car one day and head to the bowling alley! The bowling alley is one of those places that Drew had been to one time, but begged and pleaded to go back. Not exaggerating - he asked every day for a couple weeks straight. "Do-it-again" Drew can be very persistent!
Off we went to Splitsville!
"But mom - there are still two pins left"
Pals for life!
Look at these three. They are on a mission... not sure if it's to somewhere they should be going but at least they have each other!
Back to the house and into the pool! Reesie... you're just not QUITE big enough to swim with the big kids. Maybe next year!
As most "toys" that kids love, they aren't actually toys. Take our pool float for example -- it's designed for the relaxing adult to lay on and just quietly float around. OR -- it could be used as a "boat" or perhaps to practice diving into home plate. Use your imagination, and that pool float can be anything you want it to be!
Time for a snack!
Ethan LOVES the pool and it makes me so happy that he comes down and enjoys it so much! He's such a sweet boy and pure joy to have around. Drew has a great role model in him!
Ok - break is over... someone tell dad.
We are so fortunate that the Webers make an annual trip to see us -- it keeps these kids close and it's so much fun for us to have them. Always an adventure when we get together!
