So far this summer....

...we've been out for ice cream and then walked to the duck pond.

 There were so many baby ducks!  

You almost want to scoop one up and take it home...almost.

 A lot of outside play in the sprinklers.

Sometimes in their swimsuits, sometimes in their clothes.

 In the winter I had jackets laying all over the place.  Now, I have beach towels and swimsuits  EVERYWHERE!

We've been going on morning rides/walks these past couple days.  Haley usually rides further on her own or with Morgan and then catch up to where we are.  Piper rides her bike while I walk with Rory in the stroller.  We're quite a sight and I'm usually barking orders like "Stay to the right!!!"  "Do NOT cross that white!!!"  Yeah...good times.

And of course we have to see the horses when ever we go out!

 Luckily there are two pastures nearby, so we can see horses from both directions of our house.

I just love how rural our town still is!  I hope it stays that way and they don't start selling off the land and building houses on it...how sad would that be!

 Haley is obsessed with a YouTube channel called SoCraftastic. Her latest craze now is making little charms with polymer clay.  She follows along or comes up with her own ideas...I think she and Morgan have made about 50 little charms now.  Okay, maybe not...but it's getting there.  Don't you just love YouTube!

 And also this week, the girls have eaten tons and tons of Popsicles.

But then, it's just not summer if you don't have sticky hands and stained lips (and clothes) from Popsicles.  That's what the sprinklers are for....right?  Or the irrigation ditch.  Easy bathing.
