Coney Island!

Jeremy's company picnic was at Coney Island again this year. We went two years ago as well and the kids had a great time. I didn't take very many pictures unfortunately, but it was really fun (and hot and humid as usual). We went on a few rides first off and then went to the pavillion for the company lunch and activities.


 Above - Jeremy and Anna; Below - Eli and Connor. They all went on at the same time, but were exactly opposite each other, so I couldn't get a picture with both!
Eli was too big for the little kids ones this year and not quite feeling ready for the bigger ones. Maybe next time. :)
 They had face painting, a mechanical football (haha!), caricatures, a fun bounce house obstacle course, lunch, snow cones, etc. It was pretty fun!






  Later we braved the crowds and went to the famous pool. It's actually supposedly the largest recirculating swimming pool in the world, and it is seriously HUGE! It's crazy. I've never seen anything like it. There are also water slides, diving boards and a really fun spray park area that was new this year. I wish I could have taken more pictures, but we were all in the water! The kids had a blast though, and I'm glad I convinced Jeremy we should take him, even though he was a bit apprehensive...

This was the only picture I took, just to give an idea. The kids and Jeremy went on the "silver bullet" slide you see in the middle of the pool there. Way at the other end is a deeper area.
And here are some pictures I pulled from their website:

We hit the merry-go-round after the pool on our way out.
 And then...everyone passed out shortly after we got in the car. Haha. It was a fun day!

Anna's Haircut!

Inspired by her little cousins, Anna and I decided to cut her hair. It's really cute on her! (And I promise it's straight, it just looks crooked it in this picture.)

Growing Garden and Yard Work

Our garden is off to a great start!

We also did mulch this year, which was a fun project (not). However, it made a big difference for a small price, so it was definitely worth it. It was a very hot sunny day, so my pictures look weird for some reason, but we got it done and that is great!
 First (and mostly only) snap pea harvest!

First day of Summer Vacay!

For the first "official day" of summer vacation, we went to the Nature Center! It was a great day to pass off another one of our hikes. We packed a lunch and found a little stream in the middle of our hike that was the perfect picnic spot. I love going to this place with the kids and I'm glad they enjoy hiking too!








After we came home, Grace took a nap, and then we headed to the pool! It was chilly but a fun start to the summer.
