Of course the source of the most excitement around here are trips to the pond. Bre was ready months ago. She loves to swim!
We finally said goodbye to Bre's favorite puppy, Rosie! It was a little hard but Rosie went to a sweet couple living in New York.
Of course summer always calls for those days of just "laying around". Wish that was penciled in my calendar somewhere. Couldn't find it yet.
It's not all fun and games over the summer when you live on a farm. The kids are helping out with the chickens twice a week and I am taking on the task of painting all the house windows, sills, spouting and trim this summer. Some days I find my hand is permanently bent to the shape of me holding a paintbrush. The aching pain.
In between paint jobs we took time out to take a day trip with the kids. They just finished 12 weeks worth of Bible memory so Arlan and I rewarded them with a day trip and they picked the Baltimore Aquarium.
I was shocked at how much they loved this place. Sometimes we would just sit in front of a shark tank for 20 minutes watching them swim around in circles! The kids were in awe. Trey loved the sharks and I'm pretty sure he's contemplating how to get one as a pet. Bre on the other hand is in love with dolphins.
The dolphin show was right up her alley!!
And me, well I just loved those crazy jellyfish!! All the beautiful colors.
I forgot to mention that it was smokin' hot that day and I'm pretty sure I sweated away a few pounds while walking around outside only to be gained again with one of those yummy ice cream pops! Yeah well , you take the good with the bad.
Whats a trip to Baltimore without a ride on the floating dragons? Boring that's what it is. It all would have been good if I hadn't decided to wear a short skirt that day. I tried to be as lady like as I could but it's hard when the hubby is yelling , 'put your back into it girlie!'. (ok those weren't his exact words but it translated to that in my brain)
Summer days!! Got to love them!!
