Memories of Summertime

Oh what beautiful weather we had this weekend. Yesterday the kids and I enjoyed the weather by going outside 2 different times. In the morning they just kept standing at the window and saying “out, out”. They enjoyed every minute, except for when it was time to come in. We played, swung, ran, blew bubbles and examined the tulips that are starting to sprout from the underground. Of course neither of the twins really knows what a tulip is, but they seemed interested.

Now today we are back to the reality that is winter! The temp dropped 25 degrees in an hour or something crazy like that. It is raining and the weatherman says it will be snowing by the morning!

It seems like this winter will never leave us. I came across this reminder of summertime from last August. These are pictures of Garrett having fun on the slip-n-slide at a friend’s house. He ran across the yard and went head first into the water without even a concern for anything – typical for him and I think standard for boys. While on the other hand his twin sister was happy to sit quietly with her Dad and watch the craziness.





I’m sure weather like this will be among us very soon and then by early August I will be wishing for the cool breeze and snow fall we had today.
