"THE" Summer Day!

It was just one of those fabulous days.... following a not so fabulous day on Friday. I think I was just tired! Thank goodness we started the weekend off so well! We got up Saturday morning and decided to go to the Marietta Square Farmer's Market. I dont know why we haven't spent more time there..it was just so great! It was a quick drive there and both the kids seemed to enjoy it! There were tons of stands set up selling vegetables, fruits, bread, meat, soap, plants..just about anything! We got some tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, bread, potatoes (fun fingerlings, blue potatoes and new potatoes) and peaches!

Jack was fishing for leaves in the fountain!

We played in the square for a little while too before heading back for a birthday party at the pool! Lots of friends and fun! Jack wanted to jump in with no floaties to Daddy and had the best time.

We came home and took naps and then headed back to the pool for another birthday party (this one was more for adults and had live music!) It was really fun! TONS of kids down there too! Jack spent a ton of time jumping off the side. He wanted to do it all by himself with no one there to catch him (I was close enough to get to him if he needed me) So he did it once and thought it was so fun that he did it about 50 more times. He would jump off and yell, "Hey everybody! Boys and Girls! Watch out...Heeeeeeeere I COME!" Then he would swim to the side and get out and go again! His poor little toes are rubbed raw from making that cycle! It was so fun! Lucy really enjoyed her pool time too!
We got the kids to sleep (neither of them made a peep when we put them down! I think they were WORN out) and then we grilled out. It was a FANTASTIC summer dinner! Thanks to Southern Living this month (I think they called it a "4th of July Feast") We had chicken kabobs (chicken, mushrooms, squash and onions with a smoky barbeque rub), homemade white bbq sauce and a hot bacon and green bean potato salad! It was delicious! Followed that up with some butter pecan frozen yogurt with fresh peaches and blueberries! YUMMY!

Daddy had to go to work this morning, so Jack and I played on the slip n slide with the neighbors while Lucy took her morning nap. We filled up the bird feeders and watered all the plants! We had a yummy lunch and are about to go down for naps! Back to the pool this afternoon!

It has been so fun!! I even finished a few of my "patriotic summer" projects! A new wreath and pillow covers! We will hope for more fun weekends just like this!

And here are just a few more pictures from the last week!

This is becoming a habit... deciding to run through the hose in our undies!
