August Fun!

 Some of our early August fun!

first time swinging at Bayberry park!

The kids LOVE this climby thing...gives me a heart attack, which I'm pretty sure makes them love it even more!!  This park is so fun because there are little paths that go around it with road lines on it, so they love to ride their bikes around and act like they're driving.  Love it!

I made him a picture puzzle for his birthday and he loves putting this together!  He is a puzzle kid.

We recently joined the YMCA, mainly for swim lessons for the kids, and hopefully so Mommy's tush can start working out too!  We went on a Sunday and all had so much fun.

this girl got the "green band" which gives her total freedom in the pools!

 

The kids started swim lessons that next day and Landon was so nervous...he was DREADING having to go under.  Keith and I have been talking about swim lessons for so long and we do not have anything in town, so we have to drive about 20 minutes to the Y, but it's worth it.  Landon wound up LOVING his swim lesson and his teacher was amazing...as long as he didn't have to go under!!!

I brought up this gem that Reagan and Landon both used to love as well and Madalyn has followed suit! 

Another day of swim; getting more and more comfortable each day!

We had a playdate after swim lessons with the Troutman 4 one afternoon.  The twins are buddies of Reagan's from school, Max will be in Landon's class this year, and then sweet Ben just turned 1.  I don't know how Emily and I thought with 7 kids we would be able to "lunch and chat!"

These two just LOVE each other...

AHHH!!  See this girl with her boobs?!?!??!?!  She is so stinkin' funny!

Playing an intense game of Checkers with Pop-Pop

Sissy Love!!

(Madalyn is going to be SOO bored with Mommy when the big kids go to school!)

Last day of swim lessons and they literally were in the pool for 5 minutes when there was lightning in the area so they had to get out of the pool, clear the pool deck, and cancel lessons.  Such a bummer! 

That afternoon we headed to the Herr's factory with the Hunts for our summer chip tour!
