Summer Fun

I'd first like to start you off with a little taste of something we've enjoyed in our garden this year.  YUM!  Too bad their season is over.  Now we are enjoying lots of raspberries, beans, and lettuce (and herbs).  Our spinach is done, and so are the peas, which Emma thoroughly enjoyed.
For Memorial Day (I know, I'm a bit behind) we went to an arts festival.  The highlight of going was that we rode our bikes there.  Despite the heat, I LOVED this family activity.



Here are some pictures of that weekend.  I just love these little faces, and had to share our sweet little girls with you.








We made ice cream in a bag for a family home evening treat one Monday.  We all loved it.  Of course, it has been so hot, and the ice cream was mostly soup by the time we finished eating it.  It was still delicious.

We've been taking advantage of the heat and swimming a lot.  The girls have some pretty impressive tan lines, even with all of the sunscreen I put on them.  I, on the other hand, don't look any different.  I wasn't blessed with nice tanning skin.

Awesome garden!! We are planting ours today (we're still in a cold snap--we're barely getting some lower 70s!). Your girls are beautiful. When are you coming out here next??

Yum - fresh garden food! Those strawberries look delicious! And so does the homemade ice-cream! What a fun FHE activity, especially in this heat. Looks like you guys have been doing some fun things this summer.

I love that pic of your family biking! And my sister-in-law, the dermatologist, would say that not tanning is a good thing.
