Summer Lovin'

I love summer. Always have. I love everything about it. Being outside, watermelon, grilling, cherries, ice cream, swimming, long days, the 4th of July, my birthday (well, maybe not after this one...), hot weather, farmers market vegetables and fruit, lightning bugs, the beach, I could go on and on...

Summer finally arrived in West Virginia. Like in July. It's been different this year. For example, the leading news story recently was the temperature breaking 90 degrees and local businesses giving out free lemonade when that happens. But it's been fun having all the family visit us. We've been staying busy!

Noah and I have visited the beautiful outdoor pool at the Greenbrier a few times with Khristina and her family. We even got to take Jeremy's mom with us one day. It's the neatest pool. You walk into it just like the ocean (whatever you call that style) and it has fountains springing up in the shallow end that you can play in. And the back edge looks like it drops off over a mountain. Noah loves it.

We also visited the downtown fountain park, now that Noah is walking better. He has SO much fun there. He runs (as best he can), shrieks, and giggles, all while getting drenched. Enjoy!
