At the end of June, we did the Relay for Life with B's family in honor/memory of his dad who died of a brain tumor 8 years ago last December. This was our third year doing it; we do it every other year and the whole family participates (his mom, 4 older brothers and sisters and all of their kids). The girls were really into it and kept calling it the "big relay race." Hannah wanted to spend the whole time doing laps around the track which was great. Isabelle was more into learning how to use a hula hoop!
But most of all they loved hanging out with all 12 of their cousins and their Grandma!
Two weekends later, it was the 4th of July and we got to spend more time with B's family and all the cousins at the lake. This was the girls' 3rd year going and this time, they were old enough to really take full advantage of the summer lake experience. They stayed up late, swam, played, watched a parade, ate ice cream way past their bedtime, went in a paddleboat and a kayak...needless to say, 5 minutes into the trip home on Sunday afternoon, they were both asleep. This is saying a lot, considering they almost never sleep in the car.
Summer rocks!
