June 2011

This summer has been a lot of fun. Madilyn and I spent a great deal of it up in St. Johns hanging out with Grandma and cousins. The middle of June we spent a whole week at Grandma's playing in a whale pool I bought for Madilyn and her cousins to play in. The whale ended up being where we spent most of our late morning swimming and doing relay races in the sprinklers. It was such a nice time being able to sit outside and enjoy the sun.

Madilyn really enjoyed staying at Grandma's because every morning she would wake up around 6:30am to see if Grandma was awake working out in the yard. Most of the mornings Grandma was so Madilyn would run back into our room to get clothes on so she could help Grandma water the flowers. This made it nice for me because it gave me an extra hour to sleep in with complete silence. :)

Most of the hard yard work ended with a ice cream Popsicle with Grandma!

By the end of our stay we ended up across the street with the neighbor kids playing on their zip-line they had created. I thought Madilyn might be scared, but she ended up loving it and did it several times.
