more summer fun in the sun

everyday we do try to get outside and do something fun
here are just a few pictures of the summer so far
we have been trying to get to Mentor Headlines as much as possible this summer - in the mean time though we have been going to the rec center and Sadie and Si are both doing great learning to swim
Sadie is now comfortable diving into the water and can swim from one end of the pool to the other
Silas is a really strong kicker and with help can go from one end to the other - still working on dunking the head - but every day they both get a bit stronger and a bit more confident!

a few more random pictures

running around the botanical gardens - Mimi came to visit and we decided to venture out into the world and see a concert in University Circle - it was a fun/exciting night

Sadie and Silas collided with each other and Sadie got her first rather alarming and big bloody nose 

she was a big girl about it and put her head back and pinched her nose - and within seconds was running around like a crazy kid like nothing ever happened

at the botanical gardens the kids got to chase some rather large happy frogs - it was great to watch the kids stop running for a minute when they noticed or heard something new and exciting 

everyday both of these kids amaze me on what they notice 

too hot

sometimes the days have been to hot to get out or the kids actually want to hang out in the house
which honestly has been fine with me
we have tried to get out to some of the summer concerts or the museums when we get a chance but if stuck at home we have creative ways to keep each other entertained
