10 Reasons We Love Summer

Summer is no doubt my favorite season of the year!
Here are just a few of the reasons we love summer: Reason #1: Watermelon! I was cutting up this watermelon into nice bite sized pieces and they just couldn't wait. So I cut it in half and they devoured it. Deeelish!
Reason #2: Rollerblades are back! After Jake broke his leg rollerblading, our family took an unintended hiatus from using them. But this summer, we have been using them non-stop! The kids are getting so good too!



Reason #3: The Ducks! Luke decided to hold off on the roller blades this summer, so while the kids are racing all over the park, Luke and I alternate watching the kids and feeding the ducks.

Reason #4: Shoes! Okay, shoes go with any season, but this summer, Luke has discovered the joy of wearing other people shoes. And he's very good at it.

Reason #5: Free Lawn Service! So, this probably isn't one of the reasons Jake loves summer, but we do!

Reason #6: Friends! Well, this is a bitter-sweet reason. Our friend, Lisa moved and this is one of our last times together. We miss you already Lisa!
(Me, Bobbi, Lisa, Riley)


Reason #7: The Pool! Need I say more?

Reason #8: The Pool Playground
(Cause those 10 minute mandatory bathroom breaks are killer!)




Jake and Luke


Jake is on the low dive, his friend, Peter is flipping off the high dive.

The boys...and you can see Breezy's coming up for air in the background.



Reason #9: Nights at the Park!

Reason #10: Grandma & Grandpa's House!
