Summer is here...

We've been in full swing summer time mode around here. :)

A garden harvest, one of many. :)

I tried to capture how my garden glows at night, but it's just one of those special things that can't really be capture I guess, at least not with my camera. This is the best I could do and it really doesn't do it justice at all...

Fun at the library. :)

A butterfly at the park!

Monkeys, monkeys, and more...

MoNkEyS!!!!

We went out to a parade in the town I grew up in. :) Their Neenee was in the parade with the library float, and the kids thought that was pretty cool! :)

Neenee!!!

Beautiful

She thought the dancers were pretty awesome! :)

Cousins! We stayed the night at my brothers and went on an adventure down to a neat spot on the river.

If you can't play in the water then sand is the next best thing...

Love... so glad he didn't work this weekend and got to spend time with us. :)

Sand angels!

I try to keep other peoples faces off of my blog for privacy reasons, but this picture is so stinking cute!!! The dads fell asleep with their daughters watching a movie, ha ha!

The next day we went to a spot on the river where you can play in the water, and it was so much fun! 

Wading with Neenee...

Hot... Haha!

Modern day Huck Finn. ;)

Playing in the sand...

Cooling off.

Having fun in the sun, going to the river and hanging out has got to be one of my most favorite things in the world. :) All good things happen at the river.

Daddy's girl. :)

Group hug when it was time to go, they love their uncle Ben...

We packed all that into one week, summer is here! :) Seriously it's been a bit of a heat wave in good ol' Washington... In the 80s, don't laugh, we are talking pacific NW folks, the land of moss and raindrops. :) And a coffee stand on every corner. ;) I am melting at 80! Melting!!!
