Goodbye summer vacation!

Since school starts tomorrow I thought I should catch up on what we have been doing this summer.  Ever since I had Emily I have been so bad about blogging.  I'm just too tired at the end of the day! :) It has been a fun summer and I am always so thankful for the time we get to spend together as a family.  We have laughed a lot and had great adventures.  I am finding it really hard to go back to school this year.  I love being at home with the girls and miss them greatly during the day.  They are growing up so fast.  Becca, especially, seems like she is growing into a little lady.  :) She has said the most hilarious things this summer...I wish now that I had written them down but they made Joe and I laugh hysterically.
Here are just a few photos of our fun this summer!

They love playing in the "pirate ship."

We walked the trail a lot this summer.  Becca loved to climb the tree and look for the "grump wizard" and the princess in her castle.

We always stopped at this bench and Becca said we were going to ride the Choo-choo train.

Becca pretending she is a pirate (yes that is underwear on her head)

Becca wanted to try and paint her nails (and Emily's).  

Found mommy's make-up bag.

Riding the boats at Columbia Park with cousin Tyler

She actually let Amy pain a rainbow on her face at VBS!

I found some old curlers and Becca thought it was funny to put them in her hair .

It was sooo hot during band camp. A washcloth on the head always feels good!

Funny hat day at bandcamp

Emily's first popsicle. She loved it.

Chillin' during marching band practice.

Riding the horses at The Children's Museum
