SUMMER IS THE TIME FOR BACK YARD PARTIES

 
One of our favorite activities these days is having good friends over to grill out and party with us on weekends. Sometimes our parties are simultaneously grown-up and kid parties, since we have several couple-friends with kids ranging from 1-4. At the above-pictured party, Scott, Josh, Todd & Rob shoot the breeze, Bonnie tends to food on the deck, Emily and Mikaela look after the kids, and Carley plays photographer.

We're fortunate to have scored a house with such a great back yard, including the fabulous deck that the previous owner did such a good job of building. Thanks again for all the great work, Chris!

 
In the hot summer heat, a dip in the pool is a great treat for the precious little ones. Lucas (of Todd & Emily) and Rowan share the baby pool, while 2-year-old Evan (of Scott & Mikaela) holds down the toddler pool and Olivia (also of Scott & Mikaela) ponders. In the background a stack of firewood and outdoor firepit await cooler weather.

 
Thanks to Rowan's MeMe and Papa, we have a really nice swing set for added kiddie entertainment.
