Summer's almost here

My action and water loving kids are already begging for us to go fishing or go to the lake or play outside every single day. Summer is clearly almost here. Even though the lake is so low and will likely be drained by year's end, Derek makes the most of trying to get home timely to allow for dinner and a little fishing or something outside. We are back on our summer tradition of eating a treat on the front porch after dinner. The boys are usually interested in a Popsicle or fudgesicle. So we kick the outdoor ceiling fans on and sit on the front porch and watch the neighbors walk or run by. Aidan is always the first to yell out across the way at strangers to say "hello"! It is too sweet. Some more photos - again I have so many as I get "homework assignments" for my class.
