I love Summer!

To my 2 faithful blog readers....sorry I haven't been blogging much. It is summer...and we have been busy! Until you have lived in a climate where 65 is considered cold and then moved back to a place where winter is 10 months out of the year (ok...I am exaggerating...a little), you don't REALLY learn to appreciate summer. Well, let me say...I appreciate summer!!

Brit's last day of school was May 29 and we have been busy ever since. Here is what we have been up to:





Brit got her ear's pierced. Several months ago she asked if she could. We told her if she finished the school year out strong...without any paper's returned to her from her teacher saying "Try Again" (that is a whole other post), she could get them done after the school year. So, she did it! She did a great job while they pierced her ears...no tears! The tears came a few days after when she woke up in the morning and one earring had fallen out during the night. The hole had already closed up. We took her back to the store and they had to poke it through again...without the gun. Not fun!


We have been going to Kings Island a lot. We have passes and the kids LOVE going!

We have been swimming in our newly installed pool in our backyard....









OK...so it's not much, but Avery loves it! And our neighbors have a pool that Brit gets to swim in all the time!

We have been to a few Cincinnati Red's games. Including one that had fireworks afterward. Of course, it had to go into extra innings (ugh) but we stayed and really enjoyed the fireworks! Definitely worth the wait!








We leave in 2 weeks for a week of vacation in Chicago with some of Matt's family! We can't wait!

That's all for now!
