Summer ...


We had a great week in Florida...
The kids spent most of their time in the pool. As much as I love the beach, it was unbearably hot and extremely uncomfortable...so we kept close to home. 

We swam...





Fished at the lake...


I read THREE great books...




Maggie read even more...




We enjoyed Big Daddy's Birthday gift...




and watched MollDoll take a spill on Big Daddy's Birthday gift...






We also...


Perfected our cannonball techniques...








Rode bikes...




Finished decorating the kitchen...








Bird watched...





And finally welcomed ourselves home...



And tried our best to find some humor in this...




It looks a little like the Chicago River on St. Patrick's Day!


It's good to be home.

  4. Your vacations looks like it was great fun and you had good weather.
    Your pool at home looks like pea soup. When we had a pool, it got so bad one hot summer we said to heck with it and closed it for the winter - it was clear in the spring!

  5. I felt as though I sped through your holiday and then landed with a thump when I saw the green pool. I hope you get it all sorted out!

  8. What a perfect definition of vacation... just yum!

    I loved the expressions on the rested faces and am writing down your book selections and check them out.

    Do you suggest any one in particular?

    Have a great week.

  10. Looks like a neighborhood we once rented a vacation place. Lots of fun, though the alligator sign is a little off-putting. I guess it's supposed to be.
