Summer Fun

Afternoon Gelato, a favorite for all : )

We stayed at Matthew and Antony's grandparents home for 2 months while the renovation was happening.  We are so lucky to have stayed in a beautiful and welcoming house!

Magda and Chan visited one weekend, just before we moved back in.  It was a short, but very sweet visit!

Here the girls are pretending to be on an airplane, on their way to visit cousin's Henry and Ella.

Watermelon, popcorn, gummies, lollipops...  some of our favorite treats.

Prarie dog tunnels at the National Zoo

Granpa visited and we did a lot of activities:  here we are at the National Arboretum.

Blackberry picking with Lauren at Butler's Orchard...  ummmmm

Blackberries in our front yard, ummmm.

"Ready for anything" dress-up in the new playroom is LOTS of fun : )

lov'in our pool this summer!

We had fun with day care friends, Asher and Marion, at the splash park in Gaithersburg.

 Halina loves to "go running" with me.  We look for insect and study different leaves together as I run.  Here we've come across a family of deer including 2 fawns.

This might have been the only moment Caroline was "still" on the beach.  She loved digging in the sand and running into waves. 

Morning laps in the sound

Running for the beach.  Both girls took off shoes the moment we cross the street and run to the sand. 

Guenevere spent 4 days with us.  She and I had great mornings exercising and relaxing at the water.

clammin with Fletcher was perfect.  Halina talked about it weeks before and has been asking to go again.  Thanks to Erin and Woody for sharing their time, boat, and beaches : )
