summer days

Our family was made for the summer!  The kids love the water, and we spent so much of our summer at the pool, the lake, or at Hawaiian Falls. We're so lucky to have great friends and neighbors that make every activity more fun!
The kids LOVED Carter's cool shark, and he was so kind to share it with all the littles.
More fun with the Sturgills...
It turns out that Brooke and Colby love cotton candy just as much as I do :)  These pictures were taken at Hawaiian Falls.  We met up several times this summer with Brooke's friend Callen and his family. Callen and Brooke were big enough to ride the slides together, and the dads even joined in on the fun for Friday Night Slides.
My kids also love the sand, so we went to Clayton Chandler a few times to play in their nice, soft sand.  They also have a splash pad there, so when I felt like the kids needed to cool down, we transitioned to the water.  (They look so tan in this picture!!  I slathered them with sunscreen, but with how much time we spent outdoors, they definitely got some color.)
Water is always good in our Texas summers, and the kids were BIG fans of playing with the hose on the trampoline.  Our grass is totally ruined underneath, but all for a good cause :). They also loved doing water balloons up there, which made cleanup a breeze!
And last, but not least, was our time at the lake.  We met ward friends there a few times to play in the sand and water, and we of course enjoyed time on the boat.
By the end of the summer I am always sick of washing towels and having swimsuits hanging all over my house, but those summer memories are truly the best!
