Summer fun

We have been enjoying another summer together with lots of family time. The kids and I have been finding all sorts of fun things to do during the week. We are lucky that Neil works four day weeks all summer, which gives us long family weekends together. We have made a trip to the zoo, Pump It Up, the Museum of Science and History, and the beach. We have visited a good friend and spent time floating on the lake with them. And of course there are the weekly trips to the pool, library, and local parks.

The kids are growing (taller) and changing so much this summer. Avery has taken an increased interest in reading this summer. She is doing so well with her reading it amazes me! She can read books like "Go Dog Go" and "Ten Apples Up on Top". And she loves read all sorts of beginning reader books. Last week when we were shopping at Publix she decided to start writing addition problems and solving them on her own. And she is loving the water! She gets better each time we visit the pool. Colin is talking more and more each day. He is a sweet little boy. He tries very hard to share and even be a good friend (cousin). He seems to find dirt where ever we go! He loves construction vehicles and figuring out how they work to complete a project. He is starting to sing his "ABC"s and can identify various shapes and colors. They both just amaze us on a daily basis!

With less than 4 weeks of summer left we have all sorts of fun adventures planned. Stay tuned for more pictures and videos to come.....
