The month of July began with a bang. We had the absolute cutest
family members visit us during the week of the Fourth of July. They chased Pinky
and Fiona and then jumped in the pool. It was non-stop fun and laughter. We even
went hiking in the Santa Rosas, played Jenga and took the dogs for walks. One
day, we visited an antique shop and a French soap maker in Old Town Temecula.
This was immediately followed with unlimited supplies of soft-serve with
toppings.

| Pinky and me. I laughed my head off! |
Chalk drawings on pavement, chess championships and a colossal
number of crayons kept everyone entertained. Pinky and Fiona received extra
belly rubs and forbidden, under the table snacks. Seems everyone did fine
without computer games, phones and hours of television.
Food was plentiful and
dessert went on forever: juicy watermelon slices, scoops of ice-cream and apple
pie. Not to mention oodles of hugs and kisses.
Then, after massive amounts of
giggling…goodbye.
The day my cousins left you could hear a pin drop in
Nebraska. Silence.

ReplyDeleteYes, it will always be etched among my favorite memories.
DeleteSounds like your summer has been awesome so far. I haven't done very many summery things yet. I have been busy with work. But- on the weekends when it hasn't been raining I have been spending time in the woods walking and enjoying nature. I would like to get to the beach before the summer's end!
