Review of our Favorite Summer Moments

Maggie learned to sit, unassisted, and got two teeth!

The kids were in a daycamp production of Eric Carle's The Hungry Caterpillar. Annie was a butterfly, Henry an apple, Sophie a cocoon, Charlie a pear.

Annie was in her first play- "Little Red Riding Hood" with the Missoula Children's Theater. She was an adorable "mischievous raccoon". (Pictured, back left)

We went to the Barker's for a Fourth of July fun food fest! Maggie enjoyed her first fourth and another "date" with James Leonard

Annie got dressed up... festively, of course.

Sassy Fourth of July triplets (2/3 with wet pants...)

The kids made their own fun in the backyard...

COUSINS! We were SO lucky to have a visit from Ashley and her kids, Elle and Jeff in June. It was like a 24-7 party! We went to Northwest Trek with Grandma and Grandpa (pictured here) and spent lots of time playing in the backyard. It was a highlight for sure...



We also went to Great Wolf Lodge (without the camera, sadly) and had a blast on the indoor waterslides, sleeping in the cool Kid Cabin, and wearing ourselves out! (Totally fun, for those considering it...)

We saw lots of movies... Wall-E, Kit Kittredge, Kung-Fu Panda, Horton Hears a Who, and The Dark Knight (mom and dad).

We read lots of books.

We spent hours and hours at parks.

We did lots of silly things, and talked a lot about preschool (gearing up!) and first grade, what they would be like, who would be there, what we would take, etc.

It's been a fun summer, and school is just around the corner. We are excited for the new challenges and exciting changes that will come with the new school year, but it's always a little wistful too...
