Summer Time Part 3

VIDEO:  River with Sparklers

I LOVE this picture!

Swinging and eating Popsicles.

Sisters together enjoying a Summer afternoon. 

Summer with her sparkler. 

She got burned by touching the hot part after the sparkler burned out. 

Hoola Hoop!

Tomi next door was impressed that River's Mom could hoola hoop!  I taught the neighborhood girls tricks with the hoola hoop.   River picked it up after some practice! 

Projects! 

River took the camera and started taking pictures.  I love her pictures because they are often of things that I wouldn't think of to snap, but that are things we see everyday and are special in one way or another. 

Our spearmint plant -

If you want a plant that you cannot kill - try spearmint!!  It doesn't need to be watered.  Every year I pull it out and it comes back in the spring.  Rabbits don't touch it.  The perfect kid/desert plant.  Oh, and it smells good!

I really liked this picture!

Summer holding on to Mommy's leg while I'm sweeping the porch.

Silver with her hornytoad.

And Yes......this pet also died.   

Lots of veggies!

We regularly have hummingbirds fly into our house if the door is left open.

We caught this one and River was able to hold it for a minute.

4th of July parade. 

The firetrucks were spraying their hoses into the crowd and River didn't want to get wet, so she found herself a spot to stay dry :)
