A grandma's house we go...

The first "trip" of the summer arrived.

The kids and I drove down {they were fantastic! I was amazed. I was preparing for a wailing from R to get out of the carseat. But... she was all about Mini mouse on the t.v. It was lovely.} to my parent's home. Spencer flew down the following day... to be my date to two weddings. And what a cute date he is.

Yesterday we went swimming and played all afternoon. The kids had a great night, the night before, spending time with their cousins Simon and Addi... it was a fun filled night thanks to Aunt Emily and Uncle Kurt. They pulled out all the stops.

It is a good start to summer.

Let me just say that this girl LOVES to eat. She is up for it at any hour of the day. Although her sweet sweet tooth is already at full throttle. She is wanting cookies and candy all day. Wakes up from naps and the first thing on her lips is "ice-ceem peeease". She is funny.

If you look in the background you see H jumping from the diving board. The kid needs to be in swimming. He is a fish.

I have to admit. I love summer. I love not having a schedule. I love not hurrying out the door... I love doing what I want when I want. And I love that my kids can do what they want and not have school. I know I might want to re-think this midway through summer, but really I am not sure. I really do love having my kids home, doing whatever.

Cheers to SUMMER!
