And in the last week...

...I did ragbrai with my dad...

...and Josh and I went on a little vacation to Lake of the Ozarks with friends!

Summer 2013 continued...

Blowing dandelions in the wind...

...and waiting for wet clothes to dry!

Got to go to Adventureland one day with Grandma Barber!

We have done lots of playing outside on our underwear...

Gosh-isn't summer great? :-)

A bit delayed..

...but here are some other pics that give you a glimpse into the Barber's Summer 2013!!

Spent lots of time playing with "6 year old" Lauren. (Lauren's mom is a teacher at my school.) On this night, Lauren took a shower with us and then we realized all three kids had monkey pajamas!

Mommy, Keatin and Will went to pick blueberries one day. And we all wore our baseball hats!

Our friend Lauren has been sharing lots of old clothes with us. And this is how I found Keatin napping one day. Her bed covered in clothes. :-)

Met lots of friends at a wading pool one day!

Went to okoboji in style to see family...

And in okoboji, got to play with cousin Maren!!

We have been...

Riding rides at adventureland...

Playing outside with the neighbors...

Taking naps with friends...

And making homemade finger paint and painting each other...

Whew! More of our happenings later!

It is July...Where is the summer going?

Happy 4th of July!!

We are still in Storm Lake, enjoying the 4th of July holiday...been great being with all the grandmas & grandpas, Jen & Joey, and some high school friends!

Jen & I did the ride/run race around the lake...

Waiting for fireworks...

Going out on the boat this morning...(only stalled 2 times) :)

And just hanging with uncle/ninja Joey :)

Zoo!

We hit the zoo yesterday with Jack and Reid... Lots of fun! :)

And we ended the night with treats from our neighbor...yum!

Bath time Fun

I saw this idea online... and since Jack & Reid were over last night, thought it was the perfect time to try it out!

Bathtub + bubbles + cut up pool noodles=endless fun & a very wet bathroom!
