Summer recap

It's a blog back-log! Or a smorgasbord of blogging! Or a mishmash of procrastination! Whatever, I'm finally getting around to recounting our summer adventures. Let me tell you, we have had a fine time this summer. Perhaps a little crazed and overscheduled, but fun times all around. Let's relive it, shall we?


First trip was to the Bahamas.

We had a jolly good time, as evidenced by our little Weston man.


Lots of water play: Reesie on a slide...


...and Weston in a makeshift tub.


We loved every minute of that trip!


The view from our room!!! Um, when are we going back??!!




Reese turned 4 this summer!

We started the celebration with a Disneyland/California trip! Thanks, Ma Pam and Papa!

Sunny, warm...er, rainy, cold California (which was a lovely break from TX heat)


At DL, R met royalty:




And we rode SO many rides! Including her fave, It's a Small World...

Disney was a blast! Can't wait to go back!

And I made everyone get in a planned family pic right at Weston's naptime, which of course went oh-so-well. I mainly succeeded at making everyone crazed, except for W, who was disgusted and refused to play along.


The only halfway decent one...


Thanks, Ma Pam and Papa! We had so much fun!


Then, we got home and had R's ballerina birthday party.
The birthday girl, taking it all in.


Lots of sweet friends came for the party, which included a dance lesson, a pinata, playing and cake. So much fun!








On our final trip, we visited David's folks in Cashiers, NC!
While we were there, we got to visit with David's aunt & uncle and his cousin & his family. I'd say that Reese and her second cousin Melinda got together quite well! Like peas in a pod, running around shrieking, dressing up and playing princess. they were so cute!


We hiked up to a zip line one afternoon for a quick zip through the woods and also climbing on the rock wall.





Such a fun time! We also spent time at the ranch and farm. Here are a couple of pics of R & daddy SUPing and Weston contemplating olive growth....





What a wonderful busy summer we had! Reese went to five different camps and so now I have some good ideas on future summer activities. She loved them all! We had wonderful trips and kept super busy, to the point where I honestly feel like I am still catching my breath....but all worth it for the great memories!
