summer fun

Just thought I would add a little update, mostly through pictures about our summer so far. We have been having alot of pool fun; the kids love being in the water. We've also made a few trips to the beach, where Alyssa mostly likes to spend her time playing in the sand. Sea World has also been a favorite place to go, especially for Alyssa since sea creatures are her favorite. Our fourth of July was great, although hot, as usual. We spent a couple of hours ar our church picnic, hanging out with the church family. Then we headed up to my parents house for their picnic, and the kids(including Bryan) had fun splashing in the kiddie pool and playing on the slip-n-slide. It was nice hanging out with the folks from our old church that we don't get to see often enough. And we had an awesome view and "preferred parking" at the Young's house for the Ramona fireworks. We thought Alyssa might be afraid of the fireworks, since she has recently developed a fear of loud things, but she sat on her daddy's lap and seemed to thoroughly enjoy them, and was even cheering and clapping. So thats our summer so far in a nutshell.
