It’s arrived. That wonderful time of year when we eat on the deck, ride bikes, go to the lake, play backyard baseball, and enjoy the sunshine. Things move a little slower during the summer: I feel like I have all this spare time because I’m not going to work, and I have a lot more time to play. What’s not to like? Last week was my first week off but we were out of town for a lot of it, so now we’re settled in to days at home for a bit. I couldn’t help but snap some photos of my two cuties enjoying watermelon last night at dinner.
Today our friends the Joneses invited us to the lake by their house. We went over in the late afternoon and played hard until dinner time. JT got brave and was jumping off the dock (it’s about waist deep on him in the water there). Haley contemplated a lot but didn’t do much other than walk around. I love this picture of her because of her little round toddler tummy, and also how she’s looking at her friend Ashley, who is saying, “Come on, Haley, I’ll catch you.” Really!
After dinner tonight we went out for a bike ride/wagon ride. JT is increasingly confident on his two-wheel bike and is asking for the pedals. Jim told him to practice up tonight and that he’d put the pedals on tomorrow. There will definitely be a blog post about that if it goes smoothly. I took a quick couple of videos tonight and this is the best one. Haley enjoyed sticking to the wagon until the last block, when I offered for her to get out and walk. She decided to pull the wagon too.
