The girls said they wanted to go "work out" one afternoon and did some exercises in the front yard and ran some laps around the house. Ha! I'm sure they had people smiling as they drove by.
Bert's garden did great this year!! We had SO many cucumbers and tomatoes. He found the Zucchini in the garden after we got back from vacation. He said he must have missed it before we left for our trip and by the time we got back it was huge!
We've had some sprinkler afternoons and pool evenings!
We've also had some fun outside after dinner several nights. When I look at this picture it's funny to me how much pink stuff we have. We also took a trip to the track and let the kids ride their bikes. We'll be able to do these kinds of things more and more as it cools down, although I'm not ready for cooler weather yet!
Hannah, Claire and Emily had dentist appointments in July. Their appointments were at the same time so I went in with Hannah, Bert went back with Claire and Emily was on her own (her preference). I think Hannah had been to the dentist 3 times before this visit and every time she put on quite a show. She was scared to death....truly. I'm not sure what changed but she did amazing! Our dentist and dental hygienist could not quit bragging on what a great job she did. She was SO BRAVE!! I'm not sure when I've been more proud of her and she was so proud of herself. Go Hannah!
Claire had a great first visit! She was a smidge nervous but Bert said she didn't even cry! Go Claire!
July has also been full of playdates! We've had playdates with the Rothell family, the Dodge family, and Flemings!
The Rothell girls and Watts girls always love to dress up!
Sophie gave the girls these cute drink umbrellas that go in their cups and it reminded them of the umbrellas they got for Christmas this past year. They thought up putting on matching dresses and asked me to come out and take their picture while they posed. Ha!
I caught Abby snacking on some Chex one afternoon. She's a quick little thing!
Abby is learning how to feed herself these days and it can be a bit messy!
Bert's been wanting to go to a game in the new Braves stadium since it opened this year, so I decided to try to make it happen. I asked my parents if we could drop the kids off with them and they said sure! It was a Friday night game and we waited until Thursday to buy the tickets because there had been a good chance of rain earlier in the week. We were so thankful we were able to go and had a great time!! It was a super fun date day!!
Stanley and Alisha met us at the game and we had a great time hanging out with them! Our seats were amazing, the Braves won the game (it was a really fun game to watch), and then the stadium put on an amazing firework show for Friday Night Fireworks! We didn't get back to Toccoa until after 1:00am and were tired the next morning when our kids woke us up before 7:00, but it was worth it!!
