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!
Home Sweet Home
We had a lot of fun on our summer travels! We've been home for a while now, but various circumstances conspired to keep me from being able to update the blog. It took a good week of being back home to recover from our "vacation" -- getting everybody back to a rested, Pacific time zone existence. That's the reality of traveling with kids, I think. And during that week we also had to replace our desktop computer, which took much longer than it should have to get myself up and running on it again. But here I am, and it's good to be back!
At the Park
It's been a fun first week of summer vacation so far! Outings and playdates and trips to the park (oh my!) -- it was particularly fun to visit a local park prepared for some wet fun.
New Bikes!
I am going to have to get into some new blogging habits now that I'm over here on the new site! Unlike Blogger, I can't pre- or post-date, so that's why this week's catch-up has everything all posted today. Working on it!
Some big news from the past week: the kids have new bikes!
