Summer with the McGirls (Part 1)

We've had a great summer with the McGirls.  We went on outings in the mornings and spent our afternoons at the house relaxing, reading, and making some fun crafts. 

Buying groceries for lunches.

 They weren't too thrilled with having to do some work.  :) I'm so mean.

 Working on some patterns.

 Chloe loved making this crazy face with the pattern blocks.

 Resting and relaxing.

 Some afternoon reading

 Fun at the park

 A lady was giving away kittens and they were determined to take one home. 

 Reviewing our letters

 Going over our multiplication tables.

 Working on a special 4th of July project.

 Making fireworks with colored rice.

 Playing with the leftover rice.

 Taking a break and getting a cool snack.

 Taking the dogs for a walk.

Our beautiful 4th of the July windsock.

 A friendly wrestling match

 Playing at Chick-fil-a.  Love it when the girls help Nate. 

 Our favorite summer stop: Sonic!

 Using watercolors to make 4th of July flowers.

 Stamping stars with red and blue paint.

 Our finished 4th of July flowers.

Run, Jump, Splash

Two months ago, I spent some time getting some pics of Nate while he played in the little pool in Gramma and Papa's backyard. 

 If you quickly scroll through the rest of these, you can watch him run, jump, and splash!
