Watermelon…

… Must be eaten outside for maximum seed spitting potential.
We decided that this heat called for some water activities and checked out one of the lakes semi-close to us. There’s a great chance we won’t be back to this lake. It’s never a good sign when you see old band aids floating by and watch as people flick their cigarette butts into the water.

This one was taken before we went swimming. The girls decided that they needed to be glamorous while cleaning their room. Head scarfs and lip gloss are all it takes.


Zoey wanted to catch some rays while reading her book. I don’t know how much of a tan she got with the SPF 60 protection.
You can tell exactly what she’s thinking right? “Enough with the pictures already, Lady!”

New goggles and swim cap!

I was going to crop this down, but those kids in the back are too funny.
It occurred to me that we don’t have many pictures of Starlight. That could be because every time she sees us, she either runs to jump or immediately goes belly up. Crazy dog.


Allison thinks it is a great treat to put on my deodorant. After she got done putting it on, she held her armpit out to me and said, "Schmell it, c’mon schmell it." in straight deadpan voice.
Greg was at the top level of the parking garage and we thought it would be funny to have him take our picture. It was.


Zoey’s final tournament of the season. For this game, she played short stop. Her team did pretty well, winning two games out of the four they played.
Behind the field (you might be able to see some), there were these huge transformer boxes. It looked like a giant robot field.

Nathan’s last day of band camp.
Seriously, this band full of soon-to-be seventh graders sounded better than many, many high school bands I’ve heard.
