greatest hits: summer edition

a friend recently asked me when i was bringing my greatest hits back, and my reply was "end of the summer".  well friends, late august only means one thing.

sorry for the little hiatus.  our summer was jam-packed and for some odd reason i rarely had my camera around to document the fun.  i did catch a few goodies, so i bring to you my abbreviated greatest hits: summer edition.

i'll be back to regular programming now that our schedule is back in tact.

this summer we:

made some potential love connections,

 practiced flying,

 welcomed visitors,

 added new/old faces to our bedtime reading rituals,

 went to the children's aquarium,

 oohed and ahhhed at sea-life,

 pet sting-rays (no thankyouverymuch.  blech.),

 raced cheetahs (and did not win),

 ate downtown,

 visited old friends,

watched some turtles "wrestle",

 ate ridiculously delicious pie,

 found art everywhere,

 primarily snacked at a spraypark (which are overrated according to my baby),

 saw a couple of half-moons,

 bounced on a birthday,

 admired a friend's reemerging gymnastics skills (that is, before all that bouncing caused her to pee her pants),

 observed a boy's committment to birthday rituals,

 celebrated nine years of marriage at one of our best places,

 took lame selfies,

 recruited our boy to mop,

 unsuccessfully searched for ducks to feed,

 made slime,

 went to the car wash,

 swam and snacked with our besties,

 walked the dog,

 swung in the yard,

 added to our  their collection of cicada shells (nasty),

 showed the city how big we are,

 ate popcicles in the park, 

snapped photos of gorgeous ladies,

 hung out on the adair's patio (in due time boys, in due time),

 worked on those gross-motor skills,

 bonked heads and lived to tell about it.

how was your summer?  what were some of the highlights?

love,

coco
