Happy First Day of Summer Vacation!

This my first tester blog post from my phone and my first one of the 2013 summer season!

Here's to a wonderful summer full of lazy mornings!

Happy Summer 2012!

Are you ready to be thrown in to summer?

 

We are!

We are diving in!

 

 

 

and can't wait for the adventures to come.

Happy Summer Everyone!

Summer is over, but we are still posting!

We are very lucky this year! Both kids go to the same fabulous public school. It is 5 minutes from our house..AND they don't start class until 9:15! This gives us plenty of time in the morning (at least this time of year), to play before school starts. This, makes my Motherly heart very happy!
What makes it even more happy, is that after they are dressed and ready I say," it's time to play before school starts", and guess what?.......they have been going outside and playing. Happily, joyfully and with no instruction, no cries of "but we're bored".....they just go and play. Ahhhhh, I can smile knowing that my children enjoy each other and are using their creativity well.

You see, they aren't playing with toys. Just stuff they find in the yard, and it is so beautiful to peek out the window and see them.

Knowing that before they go into the structure of school, they get at least 30 minutes of time to just be. Out in the almost cool, calm mornings of Florida September.

This is a very great way to start the day!

Our Trip to North Carolina

First, we stopped in Georgia for a rest. We love a big ole' king size bed!


A stop in Asheville to visit old friends.

Good Friends! (The froggy's first friend ever, they are still very tight!)

A happy boy, he almost disappeared into the mountains!

Amazing waterfalls!

Some Simon says while running in the rain!

Building a snowman in the mountain earth, that glittered with mica.

One fine breakfast in the mountains!
We also made some smores for breakfast too! ...and yes, it was cool enough for a fire!

We really saw the roots of the earth!

and played in the lake

bathed in the glory!

We were brave in some very cold water, but it was worth it!

We made some new friends!

and returned them lovingly to their home

Saw some very cool "tree sculptures"

jumping in!!!

In sync

A beautiful end to the summer!
It was liquid indeed.
