Summer Fun: Beach Trips, Pool Parties, Handstands, and Ice Cream

Our summer has been going along quite nicely -- we fit in a trip to the beach last week, along with a pool party, and we've been enjoying a lot of quiet days at home. BB is working on her handstands and has finally figured it out!

Not the best pic, since she's still working on duration -- I had to be pretty quick to snap this. But she is amazingly proud of being able to get those feet up in the air!

A sad note has been added to our summer, alas. Our favorite ice cream place is closing!!! So we're fitting in as many viists as we can justify before their doors are shut forever. (It will be another ice cream place coming in, but I'm sure it just won't be the same.) And of course we had to get a picture.
