summer has begun

i love summer for all of it's swimming and fun activities. it has been so busy with work and all, but we have been trying to squeeze in as much as we can. last week we spent every day at the pool swimming with different friends. i am looking forward to doing that pretty much every day this summer.

this was our first swim of the summer with mimi and papa.




first trip to sea world of the summer. we tried to go a couple of different times and it finally worked out!


they are tall enough to ride the roller coaster this year!! mason loved it and sawyer did not want to go and did not like it.

the kids LOVED the beach this summer. of coarse. but they really seemed to have more fun than the previous years. they were able to play longer and do more. we stayed there for almost 5 hours playing and they were still going strong when we left. they did pass out as soon as we started driving in the car though.



































there were a ton of crabs this year. you could see them in the water and a few came up on the shore, and they kept pinching our feet!! i can't ever remember noticing them before.
