Serious Summer Fun!

This post simply shows all the fun we've had this summer!  We enjoyed going downtown, swimming (A LOT :-) ), movie nights with friends, and good ole flavor ice.  Daddy and I even found time for a great date night.  


During a bike ride, we stopped at the FDR Memorial for the girls to see the waterfalls.  The top picture is my FAVORITE of the bunch!!



Every day after swim practice, we must wait outside the gate while the lifeguards clean up from swim team practice.  The girls brought some library books to read while we waited.  


I don't have any pictures of Madelyn swimming because I go in the water with her, but she's still adorable when it's break time and we have lunch or a snack. 

Silly face time!



Kaitlyn practiced her diving with daddy.  



Kaitlyn and her friend tried out some cannon balls and straight jumps.  



Kaitlyn took the swim test from the Lifeguards and got to jump of the diving board and go down the water slide.  Victory!!


The last few Friday's, Kaitlyn and two friends got together for a movie night complete with pajamas, pizza and American Girl dolls.  The mommies hung out upstairs to give the girls their own space.  



Daddy and I went to a Kastles tennis match.  The main star was Martina Hingus.  Daddy mentioned how he enjoyed watching her as a kid when she played the professional ATP circuit. We enjoyed a concession dinner, which was amazingly good for concession food.  Dave enjoyed short rib sliders and I had a Thai beef salad with a carrot cilantro vinaigrette.   We hope to go again next year since the season is only three weeks long.  



For Kaitlyn's birthday, our wonderful neighbors gave her pumpkin seeds.  Daddy discovered our first pumpkin this month.  Now we are all on pumpkin watch and guard.  We have three as of today!!

Madelyn enjoyed a Flavor Ice after a few hours of swimming!  

We hope the fun continues!!
