Summertime

It's here! School's out! In celebration of the end of the year, we made chocolate chip cookies with M&Ms for Ariel's class and we went strawberry picking. Yummy! Nathaniel also was living it up in his new swim trunks and had fun playing in the sprinkler while Ariel was at school. Wednesday was her last day, and it was also the day my parents got into town to visit. It's been a whole year since we've seen them already (again), and the kids were real excited. The picture of Ariel and the bus is the moment she saw Grandma and started running to get her.

So far, we've only managed to shop for food, watch movies and play games. Lots of time talking and playing. Today we made Ariel's birthday cake for tomorrow's pool party for her celebration. We're looking forward to our first dip in the pool of the year. We'll be dodging thunderstorms, but I'm sure we'll have fun!
