Summer Tumbling

M&M's summer job.

Cy, you're so cute with Elle :)

Three-yr-old Elle is sporting the gymnastics suit Mia wore at age 7. haha

Cy goes for his one-handed cartwheel, while Cam prays for strength(?)

Getty's 12!

You found our hiding place for your pogo stick and could hardly stand waiting (a month) to open it (serves you right for snooping :)

Pool party with your friends. Check out your candy stash...

...and sweet rugby tee :)

Cy, I love your cheeser in this one...

...and your classic "prepare to be impressed" face ("ohhhh!")

I asked you if you'd rather not have the little kids swim at your party, but you weren't about to let them miss out... as long as they kept their distance when your and your boys got down to serious pool gaming :)
Elle—look at you in the corner doin' your own little ditty :) You crack me up.

You were the only one who could convince Elle to go underwater with you.

After the pool, you did fireworks on the street (remember the smoke bomb on the back of the remote-control race car?).

...and then your guess is as good as mine as to what you're all doing here...

You boys acted all shocked and alarmed when a car or two drove by. haha

Down by the Lazy River... (Osmond Bros reference, ha! :)

Saturday we headed South to celebrate Pioneer Day with friends, with a pit stop at the Big Red Barn for fresh fruit shakes.

The Agenda: A three-hour tube float (of bliss :) down the longest North-running river in America.

Checking out the train yard at the end of the float...

 Some planking...

Then a BBQ with John's parents. I caught John unawares walking out of the gas station with his case of Bud, haha.

The topper—a game of PVK (Parents Vs. Kids) at the park (hide-n-seek freeze tag in the dark with no puppy-guarding and two "safe's.")

PVK won out over the local fireworks, so we watched the show out the car window as we headed home. [not my photo, but pretty!]
