Summer Play Days

We are very much enjoying our summer break around here. Bethany and Elinor (pilot) were invited to a costume mystery party for a good friend who will be moving away soon.









Friends were staying at a hotel for a couple of days and they invited us for swimming. This picture is very embarrassing for Abe and I.
See, our three oldest children have all LOVED the water from their infancy. They learned to swim early and there was never any fear involved. Abe has prided himself (rightfully so) on being the best swim teacher on earth.
This picture proves that we are failing miserably at exposing our younger children to the water. Cannon insisted on wearing this life-jacket AND floaties the entire time. He wouldn't even get in the water for the first 45 minutes. Faith has no interest in learning to swim. I think we missed a window of opportunity. Oh well.
We had a yummy a backyard BBQ with a great family in our neighborhood. They have five kiddos and their mom is pregnant, so we felt quite at home.
We love getting together with other families where everyone has someone to play with-- parents included!









Cannon and the ladies at the little people's table.















Cannon liked the popsicles at our book club. I like Cannon's crazy hair.















Cannon's baby days are numbered. So I can't help myself, I have to put up all these cutie pictures of him. I think Abe was tickling him in the picture.













We went and saw the parade floats for the Days of 47 parade at the Expo Center. Those are a bunch of glittery crickets on the float behind the boys. Cannon is being held by his most favorite person in the world--our neighbor, Matthew.
