Summer Sunshine

One major perk to this apartment living is the easy access to a pool. Brylie would live there if I'd let her. Every morning she asks if we can go swimming today and has turned into quite the mermaid. She swims all over, dives in, and has no problem being thrown into the water. 

Lauryn is perfectly content floating around in her floaties or reading a book by me. 

We all have been enjoying this summer sun...at least we were until the 90s hit this week. :) 

 

Sunday Afternoons

Sundays are the only day we get to spend an entire day with Shawn. It is his day to relax and usually the day I am ready for an outing. To accommodate us both, I was hoping to have a relaxing Sunday drive to see the Atlanta, GA temple. The temple was beautiful, but unfortunately surrounded by a locked gate. After driving 45 minutes to get there, I was a little disappointed to say the least. The girls however are more easily pleased, and were thrilled about the soft thick grass that was at the church next door. So we still were able to see the temple from afar, and do a little relaxing (and rolling) on the grass.

Where in the World is Papa Geno??

 Brylie is always very intrigued with how frequently my dad travels. She wants to know everything about where he is, what it is like there, whether it is day or night where papa is, and of course...when does she get to go with him??  Since that may be a while, I told her we would spend one night each time Grandpa went away learning all about his new destination.

 Our first night was all about CHINA. We broke out the fun facts, colored the Chinese Flag, found out which zodiac sign we were...Brylie, is a dog. Jaycie gave us a presentation on Pandas, we ate Chinese food with chopsticks, and finished the night off watching Kung Fu Panda 2.
So although we didn't get to join grandpa on his China adventure this time, we still had a fabulous time learning about it!
