The water wagon. Our after dinner strolls this summer have been a bit more tolerable for the kids with their wagon full of water. Porter gets the credit for that one. The kids (and sometimes deer...eek!) love it!
Backyard swing: it took us (and by us I mean Porter with my nagging) all of Memorial Day weekend to pull this together. A definite backyard hit for the kids and their friends.
Homemade Pizza: Wouldn't you know I find one good homemade crust recipe (The Pioneer Woman) and I have gone a litte crazy. This summer it's either BBQ chicken (pictured), tomatoe basil, or plain ol' pepperoni. It's on our table so often, I think this trend might be wearing out it's welcome.
Schiltterbahn: You either love it or you hate it. Here's the deal, it's about a mile from the house, so we can steal an hour or two in the morning with the kids or we hit it after dinner. It's all about timing in this town. So there, we love it.
The River. now that Rhett can "swim" and Nina Lane and ride in baby preserve, it's so refreshing to run down to the river, plop the kids in for a mini swim, grab a snack and run home. The best.
4th of July decor.
My mom always sends a new piece of flare every holiday. This year's summer tree stars inspired us to throw a 3rd of July Party. (Hi Henry!)
Got the decor in the mail on a Wednesday, dreampt up the party on Thursday, and by Sunday we had a house full of friends!
Definelty will be putting this party in the "tradition" category.
But here's something that will always be a tradtion: Celebrating the 4th of July as a family. Nothing beats it.
