June...
For what I lacked in May photos, I made up for in June.
A favorite summer pastime was walking to get gelato in our neighborhood. Always Fragola (strawberry) for Isabella. And she savors each bite. Eats it so slowly that the sun has often gone down by the time we make our way home.
Jack often looks like this on the way to get gelato...he's not much for being contained.
She has her eye on the prize and knows that at the end of the wagon ride, there's gelato!
We had a lot of popsicles on the front porch, too.
In early June, we went on vacation with my family. It's always a very special time for us when we're all together and we laugh so much that it always leaves me smiling for weeks.
Love this photo...all of my loves holding onto each other.
The kind of moment that always makes me want (and feel like I can handle) 5 more children, at least.
donuts and milk and a view of the sea...can't beat that.
lunch at the Hoffbrau Haus, straight off the beach...our favorite. Never under 2-3 hours of sitting on the covered patio, sharing soft pretzels, sipping on cold LIT's, talking, laughing, telling stories, loving...
sometimes a little dancing
and taking the baby's shirt off when it gets too hot for it!
sweet pigtails
hot and tired after lunch
thirsty boy and lips that I so dearly love
sweet naps on the beach...so peaceful
definitely the best $15.99 we spent all week...a boat/pool for under the tent. No lifejackets required.
just taking it all in
cheese and crackers for dinner at Margaritaville
happy hour on the balcony after the beach...another favorite part of the day...sandy kids are bathed and restaurants are discussed...
Pop pop and Ella, two beach bums.
bubbles with unky
daddy and jack
pop pop and his girls
June was good.
