The Not-So-Lazy Days of Summer

We have started the summer break off with a bang! What a fun time of year. I love when school is out and we get to do whatever we want all day long. In the past week we have played on the slip and slide with Uncle Bryan in town, climbed trees, trained for a triathlon (Erin), gone to work (poor Ben), had a mud fight with friends (Sean and Jason), taken swimming lessons (Sean, Jason and Kyle), taken some serious naps (Kyle and Riley), had picnics, painted the bathroom (Erin, since she had to paint the area where she started the fire), started potty training (Erin and, occasionally, Kyle), eaten food from the garden, BBQ'd with friends, etc. Wow, that's a busy week! I hope we have more just like this one!!! Here are some pictures of our fun...

Sean and Jason just came in a few minutes ago looking like this...



Riley got a little tired after swimming in the pool this morning (best baby EVER!)...


Sean, Jason and Kyle have been taking swimming lessons from my friend Katie. Kyle wakes up every morning ready to go. They all love it. They each had their 4th lesson today and I can't believe the progress! Thanks so much Katie!




My brother, Bryan, came to visit on Friday so we had a picnic/water party. I wasn't intending to get wet, but how can you resist a slip-n-slide?!




Jason took the slip-n-slide to a whole new level...



My cute monkeys!




Riley loves the water, as long as it's warm:)



Jason with some sweet moves into the pool...
