Summer Time Fun!

There is nothing better than a good water fight in the middle of summer on a hot day. We had cousin Ella over one afternoon to play outside and have some fun.
These Girls don't mess around. Can you guess who is older...haha NOT the taller one!
Kallie and Keegan thought squirting me was pretty darn funny too!
Besides water guns we had sprinkler toys and a pool...yes I know, it is VERY small, but the kids had fun in it and that is all that counts right?
Keegan didn't like the water to spray to big (it was cold) so every time he took a turn he made me go turn the water down. Shantel loved to jump through/over the water.
The kids had a great time putting the slide in the pool and sliding into the water. Sometimes they even got a little crazy and put the sprinkler to spray on the slide, that way they would go faster.
love the actions shots!and like I said..I know the pool was small...but we had a lot of fun with it!

Camp Waldron
Gary has had this tent for about 20 years and we have finally put it to use! We never got a chance to get away for the summer so we decided to do a "stay-cation" in our very own back yard. We pitched the tent (let me tell you, after sitting around for 20 years unused...not the easiest task) and had a BBQ. The kids thought it was the greatest thing.

You can't tell by their faces, but they were excited to go "camping".


After we set up "camp" we had a little BBQ on the charcoal grill. The fire was still raging after dinner so we decided to make s'mores!

Roasting marshmallows over the fire...just as good as the real deal!
Is started to rain very early in the morning so we had to pack up camp and take it indoors. We pulled out the sofa bed, brought the munchkins in and they were fast asleep..and nice and dry!

You always do such fun things with your kids. They're going to have great memories when they grow up!
