Summer fun!

Some pictures from our summer, so far!

(Besides our New England trip, which is in this post.)

Eleanor's last day of school was spent at a park

Arthur REALLY liked playing with bubbles and stayed there long after the big kids moved on to other things.

The little brothers and sisters got popsicles, too.

Oh yeah, and this was about 2 hours after he got tubes in his ears!

Water balloons!

Putting away produce from our weekly box.

"Mama, how did the box people know that there was a little girl here who loves plums so much?!"

(I actually go online and customize our box before it arrives, so I guess I told the box people that she loves plums!)

Visit to Buela's house!  This is Swan Lake in Sumter, SC.  They have this great playground with a restored old firetruck.

Peggy Parish, the author of Amelia Bedelia, is from Manning, SC, so they have a statue of Amelia Bedelia in front of the local library.

Arthur just liked the cat!
