Summer fun with good friends!

Another fun week has gone by, where is the summer going!  Noah recently did some "Inside Out" related art - Anger.  Pretty cool, I'd say!
 We had another successful (and warmer) week of swim lessons.  Isaac has now graduated from the parent/tot class and should be good to go on his own next summer when he's 3!

 Sam also rocked swim lessons, graduating from level 1 to level 2.  He's very willing to go under and is starting to get bolder in the deeper sections.
 Noah made some great strides in level 4, he's improved his backstroke, freestyle, breast stroke, and diving skills!
 Little slide is always a hit with Isaac and Sam!

 Noah showed off his diving skills when Bamma and Bampa came to watch.


 On Wednesday we had a fun day at the Worsts.  Philie spoiled us adults with variations of Mexican street corn, it was SO good!
 The kids took a break from the sandbox for s'mores!






 Construction on the Worst house starts soon, so we helped with the deconstruction of the car wash.  It was a beautiful day!
 This guy has shown a mild interest in the potty, no success yet but at least he's smiling about it!
 On Friday we met up with the Barton girls at Morton Arboretum.  We had scheduled this date awhile back, before knowing about the Lego exhibit.  It was the first day of the legos, and it was also HOT, but that didn't stop us!
 It was fun to see Meryn (who is 8) and Piper (who is 5) and explore the arboretum.
They had lego stations where the kids could build (and get some shade)!

 The kids also loved exploring all the ponds.

 Sam was inspired by all the other kids to try the large climbing structure, he was pretty hesitant, but he made it through!

 Suckers and silliness ward off the 100 degree heat index!
 The lego structures themselves were really impressive!
 The kids soldiered on, even with the height of the sun and heat at midday, and we walked around the small lake to see all the legos.
 Sweaty selfie with Ryane and me by the peacock.  It was great catching up and spending time together, even if it was so blessed hot!
So, we keep on trucking through this summer of 2015.  Next up, Sam's birthday!
