Having fun!

Things have been a bit crazy around here so we are once again behind on posting! We've spent a lot of time at the nearby parks and most evenings outside! JT would spend all day every day outside if we let him!

I took the kids to a nearby school and we had the whole playground to ourselves! We brought our scooters and bikes and rode around on the basketball court!
Addy is a pro on her bike now!
And of course climbing is a favorite thing to do at the parks much to mama's dismay!
We had a fun family day at a nearby little zoo. We brought a picnic lunch, saw the animals, and ran off some energy! This is one of my favorite pics because even when he isn't smiling, he is pretty with those eyes!

But a smile is beautiful too!
And Add was a little ham!
YUM!
JT met a new friend... Mr Bear. Mr Bear was bored and so came over and walked back and forth with JT! He loved it and ran back and forth with the Bear.
Our town has an annual peace lantern ceremony to honor the victims of Hiroshima and this years earthquake in Japan as well. I took Addy over there and had never been to it myself and we already had a blast!

She got to make her own lantern...

She was SOOO excited to let it go on the water with its candle but then was sad that she couldn't take it home with her!
Addy has been going to her camp school for the summer and one of our other little friends is in her class. Keely's mom just had a little baby so we thought it would be nice for Keely to have a little alone time. I picked the girls up from school, we ate dinner and made a project before bringing her home....

Fairy houses!
They were super excited to make their fairy houses! Due to wet paint they couldn't get as extravagant as we planned but Addy will be adding to hers later!
Well that's all for now! I haven't been as good about taking pics lately and am SOOOO behind on digital scrapbooking! I need to figure out a plan this fall to take a weekend and get a little more caught up!
