Summertime fun!

We had a full weekend of all kinds of summertime fun!  Most of it was spent around water as it has been hot, hot, hot here.  John Clay didn't have to work this weekend so having him with us was a great added bonus!!

 Saturday morning, Drew and Anna Kate spent some time "working" before all the fun began.  Here they are sending out their text messages.

 And then they had some emails to return.

 After naps on Saturday we went swimming at Ninnie & Helen's house again. Their pool is very shady and is the perfect place for them to play without having to worry about getting scorched.

 Drew tries to get in the pool like he gets off the couch. He will turn around and back in. He jumped off the diving board a couple of times again but this time was a little more apprehensive for some reason.

 After we swam, we went to eat dinner at the Backporch restaurant in Townsend. Mamaw and Papaw had been swimming with us so they went too.  Anna Kate and Drew were perfectly behaved which is always a relief!  Here Anna Kate was trying to eat a cracker with her spoon.

 John Clay was "manning" Drew so he gave him his phone to keep him preoccupied while we waited for our food.  For some reason Drew really took up with our waitress and every time she would come to the table and then leave again, he was stick his hand in the air and wave and yell "Bye-Bye". 

 We had our normal Sunday lunch with the Joneses.  Grandaddy bought Anna Kate and Drew a fun pool with a slide and waterfall last year and we broke it back out this weekend. It came with these blow up dinosaurs that for some reason Drew wanted to drag all over the yard by it's tail.

 Of course, Repeat needed to do the same.

 Fun in their awesome pool!  They still don't seem to have the appreciation for how much fun this thing actually is but they did enjoy it.

 This was about the extent of Anna Kate's time in the pool.  She stayed in for a few minutes then wanted to get out and swing, ride on the golf cart, pick flowers in the yard, try to find some snacks, etc...

 Drew liked the slide.  He actually tried standing on it and falling into the water. Silly boy!  He played in it more than his sister and actually when it came time to go inside, he got very interested in playing and didn't want to get out.

 Doing "stunts" with Aunt Ashley.  She will have Anna Kate in a cheerleading uniform in no time!

Doing a little swinging.  We were surprised when Mimi Jo and Pops and Nanny Norma and Uncle Papaw joined us.  It was so much fun to have everyone there to play outside with us!
