Summertime Fun

We have been spending some time playing in the basement. I never realized how much fun a basement could be until we moved here.

Top 4 reasons why I love the basement:

#4- Place to store junk

#3- Great place for food storage

#2- So much cooler than the rest of the sweltering house

AND THE #1 reason why the basement rocks:

IT IS AN INDOOR PARK! We ride scooters, play soccer and even basketball in the cool basement. So much nicer inside than in the very humid 95 degree weather outside!

I love Miriam's expression! It is soooo Miriam!

On Sunday afternoons, we like to play legos. These are special legos. They were actually Morgan's when he was a kid.

Luke took this picture of his lego men sitting down. He thought they looked pretty silly and wanted to share it with you all.

We also went to Stone Mountain again on Tuesday with our friends Landon and Tamme. Check out how many bubbles are in the foam zone.

While Luke was completely covered in the bubbles, Miriam steered clear of the really tall mounds and just put her hands in the smaller piles. After the bubbles blew around for a while, the sprinklers rained on everyone and washed the bubbles off the kids. Tamme and I

couldn't resist and had to get rained on too! It felt marvelous! Luke, Miriam and Landon on the Stone Mountain train ride

Grandma Fife was so thoughtful and sent us the pool we had at their home last year. Luke and Miriam enjoyed filling the pool up today and splashing! Eve would not let me put her down in the water because it was very cold. I think she will like it more when the sun has time to warm the water up.

Now just 9 more days until Morgan is home from Baltimore for good....
