Simply Summer

 I love summer - the relaxed days filled with water, sun, and sweaty kids.  Our kids are enjoying the neighborhood so much, and I love that each day they wake up with a list of "summers stuff" to do. Sprinklers....one of the best things about summer, and we've been putting ours into good use: Each child has such a different personality, and I think the way they play in the sprinkler really illustrates these differences - You've got wise guy Jack - always looking to make people laugh; Serious Sam - who is always trying to make every game into a competition and doing his best stunts; Little Lyv - Princess Supreme, gracefully sashaying over the spray.







Although outnumbered by males, Lyv maintains a strong foothold in both worlds - spear in one hand, while donning her crown all while posing for the perfect picture.
 Boys of summer - the neighborhood boys out exploring the vacant lots in search of treasure.  Armed with light sabers, water guns, and sticks.

Makes me think of the vacant lot by Grandma Hansen's that we always used to play in when we were little! Playing in the ditch, finding all kinds of treasures and buildling forts. So fun that your boys are experiencing that as well!
