Fun in the Sun

Kicking back by the pool

Best Memorial Day weekend ever.

Ever.

Sunshine and strawberries and bubbles and waterballoons and wet clothes and plastic pools filled with water and barefeet and hair slicked with sunscreen and the scent of allysum and dripping sweaty water glasses filled with ice and laughter and running and joy. Pure joy.


It's not always obvious that Sam can hear when I ask him to do something, but it's obvious he can hear whenever there is an airplane within 10 miles of our house.


Sam discovers that the hose fits perfectly through the holes in the slide.

I'll take some of that sun, and maybe a strawberry-kiwi popsicle too. Please!

Looks like a grand weekend! Now when do I get my strawberry-kiwi popsicle? :)

Strawberries, kiwi, a little water and maybe 1/2 tablespoon of sugar in the blender. :) If you don't have popsicle forms, use an ice cube tray. These are my favorites, but Sam seems to prefer blueberries with vanilla yogurt. Ahhh... the blender is a magical thing.
