Summer stuff-part 1

4th of July w/Bruce & kids-
Weather was a little cold in July, but we had fun anyway. We froze waiting for fireworks and at the beach, but it LOOKS pretty.


the boy cousins made a great cake





The "before" and "after" pictures of the house:
Here's the "before", complete with faded paint, pink flamingos, signs on the door/garage and old boat. Pretty sweet!

"After" - now that's MUCH improved!
(Still with the boat, but at least it's been running this summer.)


Got rid of the play structure.....



to make room for this.....

The kids literally jumped for joy and have used it every day since.
