Pool time!

Grandma and Grandpa Rapp came to visit this weekend and brought pool goodies! Savannah has spent hours lounging on the flip flop float already!

Gage has loved hanging in his new tube.

Hard to believe our pool looked like a swamp a few months ago!

Science experiments

The kiddos have been somewhat neglected this summer because we are engrossed in house projects. Like the pool fence - which is almost done!

But, we have taken some time to do some fun kid things. Like science experiments.  We made clouds and rain.

We also made exploding bags.  They didn't really explode, they just filled up with air. 

Savannah was a little disappointed (read: pissed off) that her bag was a dud.

We also made a "naked egg" - we made the shell disappear completely. It looks like Gage was not very excited about this- but he was!

It took a week, but it was super cool!

boogie on the bricks

Athens is big on festivals. June's festival was Boogie on the Bricks. The whole "uptown" of Athens has brick roads. It's very cool. 

The kids discovered that there are coins stuck between the bricks everywhere. So, they started searching and digging them out.  We even found an old old key stuck between the bricks!

We got some snow cones...

There wasn't much boogy-ing going on because it rained - hard. So, we hunkered down under a tent for some face painting.

Smurftastic!

Pepper got into a blue pen a while ago. We think she looks "smurfy".  For the record, hairspray works wonders getting ink out of carpet!
