Daddy's Month Off

July 1st-August 1st: BEST MONTH EVER!!

We have been looking forward to July 2014 for as long as I can remember!! We have had so, so many hoops to jump through, and FINALLY July has come!! Richard now lives full time in Lexington, the sale of the Charleston house is moving forward, Richard is done with both of his jobs in Charleston and we have a FULL MONTH before Richard starts his new job at Lexington Medical Center. Oh July.... how I LOVE you!!!



Edventure with Auntie and Banks

Riding in the Fire truck at Edventure

Adventures are twice as much fun with "Re-Re" as Banks likes to call Richard. HA!

These two love to hug one another.

Banks is now fully obsessed with Go-Go's. If we see one, we have to pull the car over for a closer look.

Two is better than one.

Monkey see, Monkey do. We are currently in a phase that if Blakely does it, Banks will try to do it too.

Why so glum Blakely?

More hugging. Blakely would hug all day... the hug usually ends when they inevitably fall over or the hugging becomes aggressive.

The big attraction this summer at Edventure was the Dinosaur exhibit. We have had to go several times. They love it.

How big is a dino?

My little butterfly at the Butterfly Exhibit. Flap those wings girl!

Two is better than one.

Banks favorite part of Edventure is the tractor. Did I mention he loves Go-go's?

Blakely loves the little farm and grocery store. She loves to collect the eggs and milk the cows.

....and Katy Ellis was there, too. (Always napping during the fun!)

 

Blakely is really into building forts. She even likes just playing with her dolls under the table.

This is Blakely pretending to sleep in her fort. She even makes fake snoring noises.

Then she pops up and yells MORNING!

 

We went to the pool a LOT!! We went at least every other day.... extended vacation.

Auntie and Banks love the pool too.

 

Me and my Bankster!

To celebrate Summer, the big kids got to have their first slushes ever.

They kind of liked them.

CHEERS!! Best summer ever!!
