Pre-Summer

These are two months worth of pictures, all fun outside with friends.  Some of them I may have posted already, but forgot so give me a break.  

Ashley and her downstairs neighbor Jess have been inspired to rip out all of the bamboo around the front of their apartment building and plant a huge vegetable garden!  So we've spent countless hours outside helping/watching:



This, admittedly, is inside but it was a fun dinner with the Duttons:


Ashley the multi-tasker, phone and baby:


Getting some Vitamin D!


Tommy doesn't fill out that swimsuit like Oly does....


They're delighted by holes in the hose, because it means that there are rainbows.  See it to the right of the kids?



Here is Jess and her kids Isla and Liam.  Liam 2 months ago broke his leg and has been in a cast for 6 weeks.  Poor kid hasn't been able to get wet or dirty.  The cast is on both legs and comes up to his chest!  He has figured out how to stand up and hop around, we're really impressed by his great attitude. 


Progress!  Notice on the right most of the bamboo is gone?


Little girls:



Tommy and Oly in my garden, up to no good for sure.



Isla chasing Buff, the new neighbors cat:


You can see in this picture that Liam is wearing a pair of his Dad's shorts over the cast:



We let the kids make mud pies in the space that the pumpkins will be soon:


Then after baths outside with the hose, everyone comes over here to inhale burgers....


....and get all the art supplies out and dump them on the floor!


Here's my happy place, in my garden with an iced mocha:


Here's their finished garden!  The kids will be gorging themselves on peas and strawberries very soon hopefully.
