August!

I really can't believe the summer is almost over! It has been nice to have time to myself this summer and also have some days for just the kids and I. We have been able to do some special things this past month or so.

One of our favorite things to do every summer is to go to the Delaware State Fair. The kids love to look at and interact with the animals. It's interesting each year to see how the kids respond differently as they grow. One of our favorites is to see the baby chicks. Tyler loves to pet them, but still does not want them touching his hands!




This was the first year that Gabby was brave enough to hold one all by herself! I was very proud and knew pop-pop would be too and Grand-dad was smiling down from Heaven!






They also enjoyed going on the rides of course.



Throughout the summer we have been able to go to some of the playgrounds around the area. They kids love to go out on the dock and look at the fish and water.









One of our favorites was a new playground called the Can-Do playground. It was nice to spend one of the cooler days of summer there as well as have a picnic lunch!











I can always catch one of them being them silly selves.










This past Friday Gabby and I had a mother/daughter day. I took her to the White Water Mountain in Rehobeth. We had a blast and it was a very relaxing day!

This was my favorite picture of the day!





I have one more week left before I go back to work. We have planned a trip to the zoo, our traditional trip to Dutch Wonderland and a trip to the beach for just Julio and I. It will be nice to end summer with a bang!
