The start of summer!

Margaret chose a slip and slide from Target with her Christmas gift card from Nana.
It's been occupying the children wonderfully!
Mixing colors was great fun for Abby! Glad I thought of it... I can get some tasks done while she experiments...
A beautiful princess... with croup, Fifth's disease and a sinus infection all week... still cute as a button though!
Sat. morning at the Farmer's Market leads to an impromptu Lunch at Foti's... yummmmmmm....!
A visit to Knakals to get some treats for the soccer picnic... couldn't resist eclairs and cupcakes too...
Burning off the cupcake calories with a ride down Main Street on her new "big girl bike!"
Gathering some water bottles for a bike ride...see, all the paint Grandpa Mac took off the porch? Now we have to caulk it and stain it... hopefully before the Fourth.
Grandma and pa Mac watched AP for us last week b/c he finished school on Memorial Day and needed something to keep him busy while the rest of us were finishing the school year. They had a great time, canoeing, swimming, biking, movies, Darien Lake, Red Wings game, etc.

Then Grandpa Mac brought him back to VA and back to reality! He stayed a few days and helped us blast the paint off of out porch so we can stain the cement floor to look nicer for our new sidewalk. When he wasn't working, we went to CJ's soft serve and had a cookout.

A rare friendly moment between the big kids... something to work on this summer...
