Summer in Photos

I haven't done the best job of blogging this summer--too busy playing, I guess.

So here are some photos that I haven't posted.

Sliding at Parr Park. Playing with stickers with Daddy.

Giving Daddy a big hug. Gavin has gotten good at giving hugs and kisses. When I ask for a kiss, I get a big pucker, then usually Gavin says, "And a hug, too" and gives me a big hug.

Ride 'em, cowboy!

Gavin insisted that he needed a cowboy hat to wear while riding his horsey. (If only his Mama insisted that he wear pants.)

Intently playing with a front-end loader. Love the cute outfit from Letha. (Dave thinks it's a bit "girly" despite the fish on the front.

Eating chips with Daddy.

Playing in the backyard. It's been so hot, you have to have the wading pool out to be outside.

Or the sprinklers to run through.

Our freezer went out. In moving things from the inside freezer to the outside deep freezer, I found blackberries and made a cobbler,with extra bread, just the way we like it.

Occasionally, early in the morning, we could stand to be outside for a bit. Gavin is a big fan of scooping mulch. Typically, he uses the big green shovel to scoop, but sometimes, it's more fun to fill it up with the little yellow shovel.


And, when it's all filled up, he must work to cover up the stepping stones.

On another day at Parr Park, a bobcat was spreading rich soil (ie--it had some manure in it). The boys were mesmerized.

G taking a break while the mamas behind him chat.
