Summer Fun

We are trying to make the most of our last few weeks of summer freedom. I am not ready for it to end! Here are some of our favorite activities from the last couple of weeks.

At the Fire StationWe went to a "read with a firefighter" event at our firestation. The girls loved it! They got to listen to stories, take a tour of the fire house, see the firefighter gear, and sit inside a firetruck. Emily had never been to the firehouse and was thrilled by all of it. She couldn't beleive the firefighters had chairs and a T.V. and beds, just like "real" people! I also learned some new things and was tickled pink that the firefighters suggested my girls climb up on this firetruck for a picture!

Our Sidewalk Paint Masterpiece
Meeting Sophie
Carter met my brother's dog Sophie for the first time. He LOVED the dog and wanted to get a hold of him. I guess he's inherited his sisters love for dogs instead of his parents fear. Looks like we will have a 3rd child begging for a dog in a few years.

Farm CountryWe headed to Thanksgiving Point with our fun neighbors. It was lots of fun to have friends along to entertain all of us!
Emily loved being "out and about" with her friend Lizzie and was all smiles and giggles.

And here are the pony rides....

Wow, you've been busy! I thought I was busy this summer, but I still haven't made it to do the pony rides or to the children's museum, although I've heard both of them are great. And by the way, that picture of Carter with the dog is SOOO cute! You have adorable kids.
