You should really check the bottom of the tunnel slide at the playground before you let your kids slide down it. There might be a huge mud puddle at the bottom and your youngest (who is going down the slide alone for the first time) might end up in the mud puddle head first. Nothing to do after the mess but let them play in the dirt some more and hose them off at the end.

Pool time with friends
Our good friends let us tag along with them to the pool for some end of summer fun before school starts. (Did I mention Judah is starting school? - I guess that is a post for another day.) We had SO much fun!

Highlights from a surprise trip to New Orleans
Did you know that if you take the "souvenir" cups back to the bar you get cash?
I am not ashamed to admit that we were collecting the ones people left on tables around us.John Mark was fascinated by the fact that the piano player used an Ipad.

John Mark surprised me with an overnight trip to Nola while we were staying with his family in Baldwin County. We had such a good time - thanks to our awesome babysitters for watching the kiddos!
Front porch fun
It has been just a teeny bit cooler around here lately, and we have been enjoying some time on the front porch until the sun drives us indoors. I know that most of these pics are of Harper but I had to get JM to capture Harper's new "cheese" face. Every time anyone pulls out a camera she has to squinch up her face for a picture. So cute!

Judah's new tricycle
Judah won a tricycle through our summer reading program at the library. Please don't ever say it is a tricycle in front of him though. It is a bicycle. Harper now "rides" on his other tricycle while he rides the new one. It has made for some nice days out on the front porch when it isn't so hot! Hopefully, the hurricane will bring us some cooler weather here in SC.

Morning Stuff
Swim lessons - Video 1
Judah is not actually swimming in this video - I believe he is showing off his new goggles for his Granny. He went up and down in the water until it was finally his turn to swim (made me tired just watching.) And that is my Mom cackling in the video.
Swim lessons
Loving the goggles Granny got him
We signed Judah up for swim lessons at the Y. He had such a good time and wants to know when he can take classes again. He didn't have any trouble at all putting his face in the water and didn't mind jumping in the pool. The instructor would even help him to the bottom of the pool to pick up swim rings. I think the Y is going to have another set of lessons in September so hopefully we can get him signed up again.
