This summer has been a busy one for us. Every weekend has been filled with hanging out with family and plenty of fun stuff to do.
My sister came with her husband and daughter for a week from Arizona to enjoy some cooler weather. Here is a picture of the grandkids together. It's the only one we could get with Katie looking at the camera. She kept bolting away, so we have a few interesting expressions on the other kids faces - but they're all looking. What an accomplishment.
There was a kids art festival at the river a few weeks ago, so we decided to go check it out. Here they are painting tiles that we "forgot" to bring home with us. They had globbed so much paint on them, I just didn't see a plausible way for transport.
They also made bracelets.
No, Dillon is not drinking gutter water with a straw - though you sometimes have to wonder. They were blowing their boats down the "river."
But Home Depot had the more exciting boat projects with hammer and nails and orange aprons. As you can see, an exciting project equals parents assembly required. Hey, I didn't want them smashing my fingers while I was holding their nails.
Since we had already walked half way around, we figured we might as well keep going. We found a car show further down the trail. Dillon's look of fright comes from the real boat races that were going on in the real river. He didn't like the noise as they came close.
