Fun in the Sun

The summer time is so much more fun when you have kids. I never enjoyed the summertime much when I was an adolescent. I hated to sweat and the heat made me claustrophobic, summer clothes made me feel self conscious, and I loved the cooler times of the year. However, I have really enjoyed summer since I have had kids! I love being able to spend time outside with Lydia and do fun things that you don't get to do when it's just too cold.
For Example:

GRANDPA'S SWING
Swinging on Grandpa's swing is a favorite of Lydia's. She especially enjoys pushing her imaginary friends, Hallie and Chalkadowee (whom she refers to as her children), on this swing. She loves to swing high and she loves it when I swing her around in a circle and act as though she is chasing me as I run around in circles in front of her. She laughs so hard when we do this that sometimes I think she might pass out!
SPLASH PARK WITH COUSINS
June 19, 2012
The fountain just turned on and sprayed her right in the face.

Lydia and William got the most out of the water I think. We got to go with Nic and her boys and a friend of Nic's and her children. Gabe and the other kids played mostly on the playground, but Lydia and William couldn't get enough of the water.

LOTS OF TRAMPOLINE JUMPIN
I finally was able to get a day to do this with Lydia. Sprinkler on the trampoline! She loved it and we had a great time!

We got hops!


We had already dried and dressed by the time Daddy got home, but when he did arrive home, he put his swimming suit on and enlisted Lydia to spray him off with the hose.
BEACH
Ocean City, Maryland Beach

We arrived at the beach and turned around to find this...ouch Lydia!

I can't believe I have two children of my own!

Chris introduced Lydia to the waves! She didn't really want anything to do with them...until I came into the water! :)


Awwwe! He just melts my heart!

Little toes in the Sand. Love it!
