Some more summer fun...

This summer we really had a great time. Derek is in his forth year of medical school which means his schedule is really light in comparison to all the other years and we've been taking full advantage of it! Over the summer we did a lot of relaxing and little day trips here and there. The last three years have been pretty crazy, so I feel like our family deserves this year of playing. We've been loving it - life is good!!!


One day we decided to go strawberry picking. Way fun, but it was hard to pick the berries fast enough. Ashley and Ella decided it was way easier to just eat the berries right our of our buckets instead of picking their own berries to eat from the bushes.

We ended up doing okay though.


Ella and I enjoying our yummy strawberries!



This summer the girls also had fun riding around in their car. Ella has finally graduated to driving and is oh so proud of herself - Ashley is a little bummed though about now having complete control over the wheel anymore.


We all got to go swimming a few times too which is always fun.



We played at the park...



played with the slip n slide in the backyard...



and did some more swimming.





And yes, Derek was there with us on all our crazy adventures. I love vacation! I don't know what I'm going to do next year when Derek has to really start working again!



We also went miniature golfing...






Isn't it great when your kids are this age and everything is still fun?
