Our summer in Review

I really cannot believe how fast this summer past.  We stayed crazy busy, but it sure was a lot of fun.  Amelia got a new bike and AC got the hand me down tricycle.  Let me just say, AC can already petal.
We started the summer with VBS at church.  Drew had a minor acting role, and he is quite the actor.  The girls had a lot of fun.  We had a pirate theme.  I was really impressed with our church's vbs.  I was so exhausted by the end of the week.

We met friends at a redbirds game.  It was our first time to sit in the bluff, but it was perfect for the kids.  They ran around and had a blast.  Amelia seems to really enjoy hanging out with boys more than girls. I guess it's a good thing she's always been surrounded by more boys than girls.

AC was excited to meet the redbird.  Amelia wasn't having a bit of it.  She still talks about the big red bird though.

Leaving the game to go home, they had to walk hand in hand to the car.  It was the cutest thing ever!

The jeep is finally getting some use.  AC has no fear and loves to drive it.

We had a lot of fun July 4th hanging out at my sisters pool.  It was a little cool so besides me and Drew, there were no other adults in the pool.

I've been so impressed with AC's ability to use the puddle jumper.  She really can swim pretty good with it.  She wasn't such a fan of the fireworks we shot off.  She clung to my mom the whole time saying, I'm scared.  It was so sad.  She did well watching the Arlington fireworks, but we were much further away from them.

We met friends at the sprinkler park.  We had been here for a while at this point, so it wasn't possible to get AC in the picture.  We went to the sprinkler park 3 times this summer.  It is so much fun, and seems a lot safer for the girls than a pool.

We had a family trip to the zoo.  AC loved feeding the birds, Amelia wasn't so excited.  She wanted to watch from a distance.


Such a perfect spot in the bird area for a photo session.  I couldn't get the girls to cooperate with me though.

We then headed to Huey's.  There is no better burger in Memphis!

We went to the CSI gymnasium in Arlington.  It was a blast!  This is the only picture that I got.  I was having to participate too to get AC interested.  We get to look forward to having Amelia's bday party there this winter.  She loved it!  Plus, my girl is such the little social butterfly.  She makes friends everywhere she goes.

We ended summer break with a trip to the zoo with our friends Keylee and Misty.  It was a beautiful day that day, and the girls acted so good!  As long as AC had a snack in her hand, she was good to go!

My niece, Madison, turned 12 years old.  She got a little whipped cream in the face.  She had no idea it was going to happen.  Her reaction was priceless!

Of course Amelia had to try the sombrero too!  Pink, her favorite color! 
The grass was a little thirsty, so why not throw on some swimsuits and have a little fun while giving it some water!

We had a lot of fun this summer!  I wish I had done better at documenting it.  We had a lot more going on than just this, but maybe next summer I will do better!
