Days of summer

With only two weeks left until the last weekend of summer, it seems like things should be winding down.  Not so - we're cranking it up to squeeze in every drop of fun before school starts!

Today, a picture perfect summer day (hot but not humid or windy), we hosted a church BBQ at our house.  At least 58 people (at least half kids!) came between 3-6pm, and had a blast!

It was a church event, so we just provided the location, while the church brought the moonbounce, tables and chairs, and people brought food with them!  I love how that works out!

We have two playhouses and one "jungle gym" with two slides, which the kids also enjoyed.  Not to mention the bikes and power wheels that came out!

There was a moment of extreme drama when Emma claimed to have been stung by a bee and was hysterical!  My nurse friend, and all evidence suggested this was unlikely, but Emma was consoled only by being allowed inside to watch TV!  I think she just needed a rest, and was back out in an hour!

Check out some of the fun we had...

There's a good amount of vicarious living when you have a moon bounce at your house!  It's like a kids dream come true!!

Finally, to bed.  Thoroughly exhausted and unable to keep their eyes open.
