This has been one of my favorite summers. We've enjoyed beach days and trips to the mall or the farmer's market. We've gone to the library and the pool with friends.
Beth came to San Diego for a work conference and I went down to have dinner with her. I took her to the world's best tacos :)
Ben went to Hawaii for work and we played outside (where there's less humidity). The boys have picked skateboarding back up :)
And they used the water set that Tolson gave Colin for his birthday. Our yard is not the best for a slip n' slide, but water balloons on the trampoline was a lot of fun.
They got Alison to come spray them down while they were playing and I realized it's been far too long since the 3 of them have really played like this.
While they played, I worked on a project. I re-stained our picnic table! Ben built this in Yuma and it's endured the desert and New York winter, so it was ready for a make over.

And I'm happy to say that it was a successful mission. We had stopped using it because it just wasn't an inviting space. But we had friends over for dinner last night and this was the first spot all the kids went to to eat dinner.
