Summer Memories

The girls' summer vacation is winding down as they will be heading back to school soon. During the month of July, Savannah and Hadley stayed at Grandma Barbara's house at the beach for four weeks. (Tal and I visited the girls two weekends.) The girls loved spending time with Grandma and Gran, as well as Uncle Benny, Aunt EJ, and Harper. 

Savannah and Hadley enjoyed going to the beach, swimming in the pool, playing at the splash pad, bowling, cooking, shopping for new clothes, having sleepovers with their cousin Harper, swinging at the park, sliding down the water slides at the water park, and playing putt-putt. 

Thanks to Grandma Barbara for taking care of our girls, showering them with love, and making fun memories with them!

Walking to the beach behind Grandma's house

While Hadley was digging in the sand, she found several sand fiddler crabs and then watched them scurry across the sand.

Putt-Putt

Hadley got a hole-in-one!

Swimming at the pool

Hadley got some new freckles on her face this summer!

Grandma Barbara took the girls back to school shopping, and they wore a new outfit to church.

Silly Hadley

Hadley read aloud some books to Savannah at Grandma's house.

While the girls were at Grandma's house, I used some birthday money from my mom and Barbara to get a pedicure and massage at the spa. I enjoyed relaxing, as well as celebrating my birthday, the completion of National Boards, and the end of a crazy, stressful school year. 

When the girls and I visited my mom in IL in June, she gave me some antique blue Ball mason jars from my Great Uncle Howard. The jars coordinate nicely with our home's color scheme!
