Lily and Jack spent last week at the lake with Grandma Gail and Grandpa Tom. They tore up the lake on the hot dog, matrix, sea doo, and Lily skied. At one point, they both flew off the Matrix in the middle of the lake and fortunately were laughing hysterically rather than scared. They also visited Goat Island, painted seashells and fed the fish. They returned to NOVA on Wednesday and capped out the week with a first time trip to Chuck-E-Cheese which they loved.
On Thursday, Lily and Jack returned home to the finished backyard (leveled, sod, plants) and their swing set put together with a new rock climbing wall - they were very excited! We capped off the week with a trip to the zoo.
On Sunday, we went to Ocean City for three days. We packed in lots of activities - lots of time at the beach and pool, two games of mini golf, and games and rides on the boardwalk. Lily also really wanted a hair wrap and she was very excited to have one done last night on the Boardwalk. We are home for the rest of the week until Lily's first day of school on Monday.
Enjoy the pics!

In succession ... you can see Lily's hair wrap that she really wanted if you look closely.

I don't know if there was any activity or experience left out of this summer...it was packed with fun, fun, fun - much to see and do and filled with lots of love from lots of people. Lily and Jack are lucky. They seemed to have really enjoyed every day of every week of the summer... all good things must come to an end but they certainly have a gazillon happy memories of the summer of 2012!
Love how your back yard looks! :) That play structure rocks!
