you are cordially invited

Dear Summer,

You are cordially invited to stay as long as you like.  We are ready for you. Actually, we're tired of waiting on you.   We spent this gorgeous weekend fitting in as many summer events that we possibly could, just so you would know how welcome you are.  See for yourself.

 Our little book worm on his way to ice cream.

Satisfied with strawberry.

" Let me have a better look."

This little man of mine felt the grass on his bare toes for the first time this weekend.

After filling our bellies with ice cream, we took Koby to his favorite swimming hole. 

 Apparently, there are some kind dog owners in these parts.  The swimming hole was all stocked up.

 We dusted off the hammock and hung it under our prized chesnut tree.

 Graham's inaugural swing.

 The view....just gorgeous.

 A tired pup.

We dined outside.

We jumped in the doorway.

We got out the pool.

 These kids and their tongues....always out when they are in a groove.

We pedalled so fast we lost our clothes.

 Thank goodness for strategic placement.

And we finished off the weekend with S'mores on the patio.

Please come back.  Actually, please don't leave.
