Summer Summer Summertime

Our first Summer in AZ is a little slow and confusing.  We are used to swimming all day and hitting the beach, going to the Children's Museum with friends or just playing in the neighborhood with the kids.  A new place means trying to figure out new things to do.  Here are some things that went on before our trip to California and Utah took place.

Swimming at Greenfield Jr. High

 Arizona Science Center in Phoenix 

Naps and movies

Slip n Slide with Kate and Ellie in the greenbelt next to our house

 Mall rides

 Lots and lots of Just Dance.  Alice is hooked

 Everyone took swimming lessons.  Delilah learned to swim even better and was the best back floater in her class.  Alice and I took a class together and she got more comfortable jumping in the water from the side.  Chloë and Ellie took diving lessons.  They loved it!

Going out to lunch and running into Mrs Quigley their 2nd grade teacher!

 Sleepovers with buddies

Lots of Ice Cream

Cooling down in the baby pool

Eating and playing at Chic Fil A

Wandering Target and and playing house

Stealing mom's Diet Dr. Pepper

4th of July fireworks on top of dad's truck (not quite the same as fireworks on the beach) Then fireworks outside the house.  Delilah wasn't a fan and kept hiding in the "Egg Chair"

A little bit of gardening.  I hope my Gardenias make it!
