summer

Here are a few more photos from this summer's fun.....

We've taken a few bike rides in the Burley to the beach and splash pad!

We all got to go to the All Star Celebrity Softball Game at Target Field.  Here's Henry and his lady friend cheering on 'Panic at the Disco,' who were performing before the game. 

If Lydia is anything like her brother, she'll definitely be a 'Future Whopper Sandwich Eater!'  This was taken on one of our many road trips this summer, right after Lydia started saying "Hi" to everybody.  

Date night out on the water - kayaking.  

We are definitely loving our picnic lunches outside this summer.  I forgot utensils on this trip to the park, oops.  

Henry wanted to practice his smile for school pictures, as he knows that school will be here before we know it!

Poor Henry made his 2nd trip to the ER last week.  We were at a neighbors house for National Night Out and the kids were all playing on a hill in the backyard.  Nobody saw what actually happened, but it sounds like Henry fell down the grassy hill and landed funny on his arm.  He was holding his left arm quite tight and crying pretty hard, so we knew that it was something a little more than his usual bump or bruise.  The next morning, he still wouldn't use his left arm, so I took him in for an x-ray.  The x-ray did not show an obvious fracture, however there was an area of fluid in his elbow that they said they had to assume there was a fracture underneath.  He's in a hard splint and sling for a week, then we'll head back to children's orthopedic doctor to get it checked out again.

Unfortunately, no biking or scootering or swimming this week.  Henry's had to settle for a Burley walk every morning instead of his usual bike rides poor guy :(  (He served himself and Lydia corn on the cob before this walk, apparently).
