Summer

 Summer has been great this year! Here is an overview:

We did lots of swimming in our new pool.

 Cousins came to visit!

 We took them to see Yale. (Dominic must be a Harvard man.)

We threw rocks in a lake.

 And caught some snails.

 The splash pad was lots of fun.

 We took loads of walks with popsicles.

 The beach.

 Karate.

 On our Boston trip we visited the Children's Museum, where I lost some children in this big net thing. Can you find them for me?

 Jack and Kat performed in a play

 And, of course, visited Jim.

 We saw some dinosaurs

 And discovered a waterfall.

For two of the weeks this summer, Ali and Kat spent some time in California...being spoiled.

 They loved it.

 They especially loved it because they love this family of ours.

 Oh, and Disneyland.

 Now back to the real world. School starts.

 I think they are happy about that. 

Ali is in 4th grade

Kat is in 2nd grade

Jack is starting Pre-K.
