Summer Lovin'

We've been staying busy this summer! The following pictures are from early July... hopefully the captions will capture the adventures.

Enjoying a kid-sized ice cream cone at the local Smiling Hill Farm.

Peek-a-boo! Smiling Hill Farm has a great local ice cream and an outdoor playground perfect for little ones.

No comment - except: she did this to herself.

Swimming with cousin Fiona at Nanie & Grampy Plum's. They have a "big" pool, too, but the girls like this one just as much!

A girl, her dress, and a chainsaw. It's a beautiful thing.

The fourth of July we started out the day with some strawberry picking with our friends Jami, Ryan, and Braydon. Payson's not fond of eating strawberries (strange!) but liked picking them.

Braydon enjoyed eating them - very much!

In the afternoon, we headed over to our friends, the Heslers, for what has become an annual cookout. Delaney, left, is 4 and Allie, right, is 2 and a half.

Christine & Delaney.

What holiday was this again?

The Monday after the Fourth Payson and I went to Ferry Beach in Saco with 5 other moms/toddler combos. From left to right are: Lisa & Leah, Payson & me, Kelly & Elliot, and Kate & Julie. Taking the picture is (another) Kate, and also missing is her son Jack. We had a blast!!

Payson and I heading back from the Beach. You would not believe how much stuff I was schlepping!

Hanging out at home in style!

I hope to do more updating soon! This weekend's the 10K I've been waiting/training for - Beach to Beacon. I figured out that this is my ninth time running this race! I'm very excited, and will do my best to post my results and accounts of the day.
