welcome summer

It's here and we couldn't be any more excited! On the last day of school we had a water party for all the kids in the neighborhood to kick off summer the right way. A bucket of water, squirt guns, popcycles, a gum ball machine, suckers, tootsie rolls, and some watermelon is all you need for at least a couple hours of fun. Oh how I adore all these kids. (Big bonus: my sister and her kids came to enjoy the fun for a little. Talk about people I adore)

The party continued into the night with a neighborhood Luau. Rudger had no pants on and he jumped his heart out. There was a pretty heated hula-hoop contest. There was some super tasty food. There was an impromptu dance party. There were no mosquito bites. And there was a very late bedtime. Just how summer should be.

And even two days later this is how we all felt.
