Summer Fun with Friends!

Today we had the pleasure of having some friends over for a visit while their mom and dad finish up some cleaning of a rental home they just moved from.  We had the joy of having the 3 middle children from this dear family for the day, and two of them are camping out with us tonight! 

 

We had lots of fun together! 

 

We fed goats . . .

 

We rode horses . . .

(I think they liked the horse riding . . . a lot!)

 

 

We played with puppies . . .

 

We had a picnic lunch at the park . . .

 

We swam in the lake . . .

 

We played on the playground . . .

We really enjoyed the tire swing!

(Caroline can definitely vouch for that, as she was the tire swing operator for over an hour!)

 

We had a fun water balloon fight . . .

 

 

 Then, we moved on to hitting the water  balloons with baseball bats . . .

The girls especially loved craft time with Valerie . . .

 

(and Valerie especially loved having little girls around!)

We painted our nails . . .

 

 

and the boys played legos . . . 

 

 

We played lots outside . . .

(love this team effort!)

 We enjoyed the inside animals . . .

We decorated cookies . . .

(and then ate them!)

We ate hot dogs for dinner . . .

(don't these two look similar?)

And lastly,

we picked up cousin Cassidy and jumped in two boats and went fishing!
