We've been busy this summer and I can't believe it's already the middle of July. We had our first beach outing earlier this month on a hot 90 degree day. Unfortunately, after being there for about two hours and playing in the water and sand, they closed the beach because of poor water quality. Great. I wasn't so worried about my kids. We had gone there with a neighbor and her 3 girls.....



.....at one point I had stopped her 2-year old from drinking Lake Michigan water from a bucket! Turns out no one got sick. Next time, we'll check the beach report before heading over.

We've made our own water fun in the backyard as well.



We save the crazy sprinkler for the front yard. And when we're not cooling off outside, we're finding stuff to do inside. Darin got the kids a huge box of Lincoln Logs. Here is Jake's first project:



More to come.....
