Swimming and pickin'

We had some great summer days this year. Including that time we actually visited the Cape with friends and blueberry picking at Parlee, our favorite farm!

are these too tight?

it's cold, but the daddies are all over it

cutest elephant

later our friend endeared herself to the children by giving them batman masks. And then Ice cream ;)

chocolate girl

tasty and good face art as well

the masks were helpful on the picking trip

other superheros joined us. unplanned even. We're all just naturally heroic. 

Bruce is all business. He is a great picker. 

super boys and Lily (note she is the only one picking in this crowd)

more an eater than a picker....

Our friends the Archibalds

Back at the end of July we had a bike day at our friends the Archibalds. It was good times. Today I finally got around to getting the photos from the last 4 weeks off my camera, so the last shot of the kids all eating ice cream, yeah that was today :) We spend a good amount of time with them.

Climbing the fence for fun

riding up and down the street

keeping up (but having trouble with braking...)

just hanging around

if Ollie can do it....

hey Harvey

nothing like ice cream after a day at the pond-pool and sprinkler park
