Summer Fun 2011

Such a backlog of experiences and photos... here are a bunch of pictures from last summer (broadly defined!), when mommy was buried in books much of the time!

Several fun moments at home...









A present from Uncle Dan and Aunt Lauren... just cause... starting her early...


We had a couple of great visits with dear friends Matt and Jenn this summer. Daddy and Caroline made another trip to Mammoth Cave with them and this shot is from a meal on that trip...


... but they also joined us in Nashville for the fourth of July. No pics of them here... but first, C eats her first hot dog, and then she dances and tosses grass about... she wasn't afraid of the fireworks at all!






Daddy and Caroline had an excellent visit with Pa and Eepa at their (former! hooray!) home in Michigan... many shots...

Lots of coloring time with Pa...




Lots of dipping toes in water...


A first pony ride!


Lots of exploring outside...


Lots of playground fun...







Lots of time "cleaning" the bird bath!



And a great visit with goats!






Other nice moments with loved ones (and a frog!)






2 moments from bonfires in our backyard... enjoying chocolate milk with Jo An


and after being put in bed while a bonfire continued outside, she clearly decided she wanted back outside, but didn't make it very far...


Just one of many lovely visits to the pool at the Y!


Several Sunday moments...






A visit from Mamie (super helpful... mommy and daddy got to get away for a bit for our anniversary and c got lots of loving attention during the final press to exams...)




This was a moment from Mamie's visit too..


Three more random moments...
