Let Summer Begin!!!

After one of the wettest Springs in history, we've finally been blessed with some great weather where we could get outside and enjoy some time with family and friends. Here are some pictures from a recent visit to Pittsburgh, our first time to the pool this year, and a great picnic day at Spring Creek Park.

This picture sums up how the kids were more than ready to get outside...


But it didn't stop Carsyn from enjoying a fudgesicle...


So happy - this girls loves her "chocky"


Cousins Brooks, Dane, and Landon with Tanner and Carsyn, making funny faces at Mia and Pop Pop Ligetti's house...


Happy brother and sister...


For Brooks and Carsyn, bath time prep started outside...


From our first time to the pool this year - Carsyn LOVED the water!!!


And of course, so did Tanner...


The fountains were a big hit...



Carsyn, Daddy, and Tanner enjoying the deeper water...

Carsyn loved floating on her own, but with her mouth open as wide as it was, she swallowed a lot of water. But it didn't slow her down one bit...



Tanner prepping for a deep dive...


One might ask where Amber was in these pics. Well, on Saturday, "not in the pool" would be the answer. Just wasn't quite hot enough for her!


We had a few neighbors over on Sunday afternoon for a cookout, including a couple fried turkeys. The Finkes also came down from up the street. Here's Ellie and Carsyn enjoying their "Bomb Pops." So patriotic this Memorial Day weekend!

On Monday, we met the Finkes at Spring Creek Park for a picnic and some fun time in the water. As always, it was freezing, but it never seems to stop the kids from jumping in...


Carsyn taking it slowly around Amber...


Still trying to get used to having numb feet!


Tanner counting creek rocks...


Carsyn getting a handful herself...


With all the rain we've had this month, the creek was moving pretty fast, which makes for such a pretty backdrop...


Carsyn making her way back across the covered bridge...


Back at the start...


Tanner got new goggles and a snorkel recently for the pool season. Here he is trying it on. It's funny how he becomes a better and more brave swimmer when he's wearing the goggles. It's going to be a great summer. Wishing you all the best this summer!
