I'm Baaack!

I have no legitimate excuse (though I did have to go buy a new adapter to get the pictures off of my camera as the usb cord seems to have left our house forever) for my long absence.  But as I promised my friend Stacy that I would have some type of update by the end of the week, I thought I had better get on it.  The summer has FLOWN by and hopefully I will be able to remember the highlights.

So the last post was from Memorial Day when the girls had their dance recital.  Also over Memorial Day , D and I went to New Orleans for the wedding of a good friend from college.  While we were there, my mom and Gary watched the girls here at home.

Starting the Monday of Memorial Day, the girls were in swim lessons for two weeks at a place in Baton Rouge called Crawfish Aquatics (super cute name, right?). And that second week was also VBS at our church.  I was one of the "guides" for the girls' class.  Let's just say that I have a new appreciation for preschool teachers!!

Their favorite part of the lessons was the giant slide that you could buy tokens for (they hook you by giving you a few free!)

The entire class consisted of them and their friend Madison.  Here they all are with their teacher Lauren.

The weekend after Memorial Day before it got too hot, we went hiking with some friends up in Tunica Falls, which is in a state park in MS.  It was super fun.  The girls LOVED the creek hiking.

 Hanging out on some rocks with the Musselwhite boys.

 I am pretty sure that they are thinking "oh, yeah, we rock!"

So this brings me up to our beach trip to Destin!  Since I have not gone through all of those yet - I'll save those for the next post.
