those lazy summer days


Summer has been fun for us with gracie this year-ben took her to a local splash park and tried to get gracie into the water but she did not really want to-she would just touch it with her finger and then step back-he did say that after a while she got less scared of the water-


I stayed with them for a little bit and snapped a few pictures but then went to the club to excerise while ben got some quality daddy time






The parks have been a favorite so far -gracie always comes up to me and says 'play' 'play' which i now know means that she wants to go to the park


This time we took the whole family-including eddie-he even went down a slide himself-ben pushed him- but gracie loves it she spends at least an hour and then i get bored and decide it is time to go and she crys and whines


This time wasn't so bad though-because ben told her we could stop and get an ice cream cone on the way home-so she was thrilled-it was weird though -she took two licks of her ice cream and declared herself done-which is fine with me i don't feel the need to shove sugar down her throat-but still weird for a child to turn down ice cream

I could say it a thousand times and I would not be exaggerating: I love Gracie's wink. That is so funny. Our anniversary in on Saturday, the 2nd of August and I will be reading BD while Pete will be riding his bike with his brothers (108 miles in Park City). We'll celebrate the following Monday and hopefully I will be done reading:)
