Summer Sunday

It is more humid in Iowa right now than I recall it being in past years. It feels like if it got any wetter in the air, it would have to rain. Anyway, since it is so hot, we have been spending a ton of time at the pool. We usually just go after Bennett's nap and before supper. Today was no different, except that Dale was home so he got to join us.

Dale and Bennett making the sprinklers go off at the outdoor pool.


Bennett insists on wearing sunglasses at all times these days. Oh, and don't bother trying to fix them when they are on upside down either! That is just how he wants to wear them:)




It looks like he has to pee, but actually he was just posing for the picture.


We get quite a lot of use out of our play ground in the backyard. I pull weeds in the garden while Bennett plays in the sand.

Washington

We just had another whirlwind week and I will just highlight a few things.

My mom drove down last week Tuesday to stay at our house and babysit Bennett for us while Dale and I flew to Washington for Jodi's wedding (oh yeah, and Brian too:). We flew out with Todd on Wednesday and spent Wednesday/ Thursday in Mount Vernon at Brian's place, then headed to Lynden for the wedding festivities. The wedding was absolutely beautiful and we had such a good time. Sunday we went to Seattle (Leslie and Anita joined us) and did some major touristy things. We saw a ton of sites in a short amount of time. My cankles were proof...lol.


Anyway, after many flight delays on the way home, we finally made it back into the wee hours of Monday night. Bennett and Grandma survived their time together and seemed to really be fine. I wasn't worried. Grandma spoiled him and Grandpa joined them here part way into the week. Last night I went to the store with Bennett and he wasn't too happy with me and he was calling out for Grandpa....hmm...wonder why? It was so nice to get away with Dale and not have to fly with Bennett. He isn't the best flyer around.

Brian waiting for pictures to be over-looking pretty spiffy!

Me and Jodi Lynn - isn't she beautiful?


This was at the end of the night - looking a little sweaty on the dance floor



We ate at a seafood place that encouraged bibs. Todd was not a fan.
