summer fun...

o,j, and i have had such a fun summer together. we have been playing with lots of friends, swimming, going on playdates and lunchdates, and of course just hanging out at home some. we have had some fun time with our friends in the 'wacky wednesday' playgroup. here are some pictures of our most favorite playgroups from this summer...

thanks to misty and lilli olivia didn't have to miss out on the owen's farm experience. jack was feeling a little under the weather, so we were going to have to miss out on the fun, but sweet misty came to olivia's rescue and allowed her to tag along.

misty said o was kind of reserved, but she came home and talked nonstop about all the fun she had so i guess she did enjoy the farm. she loved feeding the goats and told me that she fed them from the cup rather than her hand because she liked that better. so olivia!! :)

not sure if the next gathering could be labeled as "fun" but it was memorable for sure. the 'wacky wednesday' group attempted to get all the kids together for a little photo session. not everyone made the session, but it is really neat that we have some pictures of these friends. we sweat A LOT and did anything we could to get them all to smile and look at the camera...

not a really all that successful at getting them to look and smile, but still a memorable picture!

of course there was a ton of bribery happening among the 3.5 year olds and their mommies...

olivia's bribe was skittles. she really did a great job, just a few tears, but overall she did great!!

next we were off to the dallas museum of nature and science (i think that is what it is called) at fair park. it is a really fun place with a super great children's museum filled with all kinds of things for the kids to experience. we had a great time playing with our friends and all the neat stuff.

jack loved the farm section and especially riding the tractor...

olivia and lilli had so much fun playing at the water tables...

olivia would NOT think about wearing the apron, "it's gross mommy!!"

and to cap off our summer we met at rylee and haven's house for a little end of the summer bash. the kids played in the backyard, in the little pool, and in the sprinkler. we all ate pizza and just had fun sitting around visiting.

olivia being brave and going in the sprinkler...

not always her favorite thing, but she is even smiling!!

jack climbing on the slide and playing with a ball...

he was LOVING every minute!!

ryan and olivia splashing in the pool...

kenzie and jack playing in the sprinkler...

kenzie loved it more than jack, but at least we got one picture.

olivia and i have been coming on and off to this playgroup since she was tiny. unfortunately she was in school for most of the get togethers, but this summer we have enjoyed getting to hang out once again. jack has really loved getting to hang out with the other babies.
