summer fun...

happy summer! hasn't the weather 
been FANTASTIC? We have been trying to get some of our bucket list items taken care of, but it seems there have been a lot of other fun events taking their place this month. Here is what we have been doing the last month...
 a slip 'n slide (it only lasted this one time, but it was SO worth it!)


---
tennis lessons for the girls...grandma pam came to watch and it started to rain. 
We waited it out under an umbrella together!
---
teacher bus 2015 (33 teachers and friends this year!)
i may or may not have taken this number from our table...it was a fun night!
---
 painting at the paint factory with the sederholm girls
 (it was a Christmas gift...better late than never, right?)




---
wizard of oz was showing in the park. There was a costume contest...livia was dorothy and sophia was glinda.
---
wedding and date night for mom and dad!
---
staining the deck...the kids were helping us out with the "small" spaces!
---
on our way to drop livia off at camp. This was her first time away from home. I think it was harder for mom, dad, and Sophia! 
a quick pit stop to say "hi" to paul 
 after we dropped livia off at camp, we visited my family at their camp site near motley...
