Yay, summer!

I'm loving this summer. We are having so much fun at a pace that's not too overwhelming. A good balance of activity and relaxation. Walter is becoming more and more independent, which helps with the relaxation part. And we are steadily checking things off the summer list. I've been relying on my phone for photos lately – it's always on hand and is easier to carry when we're biking around town. Here are some snapshots from the past week. (If we are Facebook friends or you follow me on instagram, you've probably seen many of these already.) 
An afternoon spent at the beach.

Walter gets new shoes and learns to tie them!

French toast flipper.Walter also cooked us up some chicken nuggets, from scratch, this week. I may have helped a little. :)

We finally started using our fire pit and cooked up some s'mores.

Walter got the itch to sew again. This time a two-tailed giraffe.

A few from this morning's bike ride and kite-flying adventure. We accidentally all wore orange shirts. We're dorks. :)



And here's a little video from the park. Not too exciting, but I think it's cute.

I hope you are enjoying your summer too!
