Soaking Up Summer

I can't believe summer is winding down already!!  We have had a great summer this year with the kids and we are definitely soaking up every last bit of it!

Nolan picked me a flower out of the neighbor's yard.

Hanging out at the park feeding fish stale bread.

The fish were scared away by this huge snapping turtle.  It was crazy!

Pit stop for ice cream!

We checked out the hot air balloon festival this year with our neighbors.  It was really fun and cool to see.  Nolan loved all of the balloons, especially the Darth Vader one.  Quinn was afraid of them for some reason.

Once the Olentangy kids went back to school we had a week of summer left before I started back to work.  The pool was so quiet and the kids loved having the place to their selves!

This is how your hair looks after a good trip to the pool!

We had our annual block party again this year.  The kids have so much fun just running in the street since it is not something they can do on a daily basis.  The fire truck and Kona Ice came again and we did a late night movie on the big blow up screen.  There was a huge turn out this year and everyone had a great time.

Zoo!

Two little monkeys in a cage.

They never sit next to each other for too long before this starts to happen!

First experience with Dippin' Dots.

More cold treats!

We did an evening dinner excursion on the boat with the kids the other night.  It was nice because they weren't hot in their life jackets and they both seemed to enjoy it!
