The rest of summer...where did it go?!

The post title says it all...Summer has come to a close VERY quickly!  We had a really fabulous rest of our summer - lots of fun stuff captured in the pics below!

Got to build a bug house at Home Depot one Saturday morning.  Carter LOVES going to these...we've been taking him since he was 2!

Lots of backyard pool fun!  Love these little pigtails :)

So much good ol' hanging out time with me and the kids.  Especially in the mornings! 

Play time and story time at the library!  (Side note:  1 year olds CANNOT really handle the library.  We had to make some mad dashes out when she would take pure JOY in ripping all the books off shelves!  Ha!)

Such a sweet pic Allison took of C at the zoo...

Another great shot that Allison got!

Wouldn't be summer without trips to the zoo!

This never gets old...

Such a little beauty...

Mommy and Carter had a movie date to see Rio 2.  And Daddy and Carter had a movie date to see Planes: Fire and Rescue!

We've realized this poor little girl has NO girl toys...

Loving Starbucks just like Mommy :)

Sweet, sweet time with great friends!  LOVE these kiddos and their families! 

First family vacay....to beautiful Galveston!  The seaweed was...well...there.  And in abundance.  But it didn't stop anyone from having some fabulous fun!

This little one LOVED the beach.  For hours upon hours a day. 

Daddy and C made some super cool guns out of these awesome blocks one morning.  So cute!

Loving time out on the porch every morning and evening!

Scotty, Alex and Gigi came down the last day and night we were there to have some family fun! 

Couldn't pay Emm to look at the camera...she just wasn't feeling it!

Sweet cousins!

Did you know that seagulls love goldfish?  As in goldfish crackers?  Everytime Emm dropped her snacks in the sand or water, we gave them to the birds!  We were their best friends :)

Daddy, Emm and C...and our best friend for the week, seaweed!  Seriously though, it was SO fabulous.  So relaxing.  Such a wonderful family bonding time.  And the kids were SO good, shockingly good in fact.  We literally spent 4 to 5 hours a day at the edge of the water.  Just.Playing.  SO nice to take the time out to spend this time together and make unforgettable memories!  #iwantabeachhouse
