Playing outside

Has this not been the most amazing summer?  The kids have been playing outside all the time.  We've completely worn out the swimming pool.

Cecily has been living off Popsicles pretty much morning, noon, & night.  They're mostly beets & veggies with a little fruit thrown in, so I don't really have a problem with it...except for the mess.

Parker had "science camp" this week, they made explosions & all manner of goops.  They also had a slip & slide that the kids could play with.  Parker took his swimsuit every day, but he never actually tried the slip & slide.  I even build a slip & slide of our own to try & get him used to it.  He loved the home slide, but refused to try the one at school.
