July 2015~Playing Outside and the Fourth

We spent a lot of summer evenings in our shaded front yard and driveway. We would take and eat our dinner out there to minimize cleanup, and I would sit in a chair (still recovering), and enjoy watching my kids play. Nora would mostly be trapped in her stroller, but luckily didn't mind. It was just nice to be outside.

Cute sidewalk chalk art! We've enjoyed our new driveway. Our old one was totally chipped up and gravelly--which made it hard to do sidewalk chalk or ride a bike on. Coy's snowman:   Coy's monster:   Here are some photos from our Fourth of July. We had our annual swim party and breakfast. We enjoyed a beautiful evening at the fireworks as well.
