Sunflower!

AJ and Brooke planted some sunflowers around our yard.  This was the first one to grow flowers.  Brooke was so excited she made a sunflower for inside!  So cute!

Beach Day and Lunch with Daddy

Today I took Brooke and Alex to the beach for the morning.  We had fun building in the sand, running the beach, and of course jumping in the waves.  After a few hours I got them cleaned up and told them we would go to pizza for lunch because I didn’t pack any lunch.  They were very excited to find out that we surprised them with having AJ meet us at the pizza place after his morning meetings.  They were very excited to see him!

 

Biking the Dismal Swamp

After a playdate at the park with one of Alex’s friends I took the kids to the dismal swap with our bikes to enjoy a bike ride away from home.  It was nice to find a patch of shade on a very hot morning and we had a lot of fun riding on a pedestrian/bike only road.

The Destruction of the Three Day Fort

AJ built this impressive fort out of our couch three days ago and we have been playing in ever since.  Today it needed to be taken down and the kiddos had as much fun destroying the fort as they have had playing in it.  Yea summer!!

Tent Camping in the Playroom

Brooke asked if she could sleep in the tent overnight.  They had both slept in their rooms in their sleeping bag before but not in the playroom.  It was the first time they slept in the tent and in the playroom together.  They had fun and were both excited to wake up in the tent the next morning.  Summer fun!
