al fresco

Our Little Darlings.

The girls receive a Dora Taco set and cute clothes from

Aunt Lois & Uncle Jim.

Enjoying a yummy BBQ.

The girls make Uncle Jim work by fetching their cups out of the pool.

Grandma falls for this fun game, too.

Grace wants to kiss Grandpa.

They could play with the hose all day long.

Faith waters her flowers.

The Water Wheel is always fun.

Splash! Splash! Splash!

Daddy hoses them off.

Then he lets them play in the pool. Atleast he took off their dresses!

Our water babies.

A great way to end our weekend.

The girls love to go outside whenever they can. They often ask, "Side?, side? side?" With temperatures in the 90's this weekend, we enjoyed dining al fresco on both Saturday and Sunday. I like to eat outside for a few reasons... When we eat outdoors, we all eat at the same time and that means we eat together as a family. It also makes for a more relaxed atmosphere where messes just don't seem to matter much. All this, combined with the fact that there are plenty of things outside to keep the girls busy are all good reasons to enjoy the great outdoors! Morgan's Uncle Jim and Aunt Lois are visiting from Nebraska and came over with Grandma and Grandpa for a bbq on Saturday. The last time they were here was in January 2007. Not only was there a huge hole in our backyard (the pool had just been dug) but they missed meeting the girls by just a couple of months. It's great that they finally got to meet! On Sunday, the girls played with their water wheel in the afternoon. We should know by now that they get totally soaked anytime there's water around. Morgan decided that since they were already dripping wet, he'd just chase them around with a hose and let them play in the pool afterwards. We treasure our weekends!
