We Love the Sun!

Okay, we probably won't love the sun so much by the time July rolls around, but we sure have loved it the last few days. Yesterday was a "scorcher" according to Cole, so we spent the afternoon soaking up the sun while the sprinkler cooled us off.

Cole remembered from last year and dove right into the fun.

Annie was a little hesitant. Here she is clinging to my leg. She got the hang of it fast, though, and outlasted Cole.

For Family Night, we had a luau.

Except not a real luau since our roasted pig was actually just regular ham and we didn't cook it in the sand. But we did have ham. And pineapple kabobs. And Paradise Punch. Annie and I even dressed up for the occasion in our best luau gear. The boys weren't quite as eager to dress up.

Annie learned a little hula dance - she's shaking her hips and waving her fingers in this picture.

Grandpa Clair stopped by for a visit and got in on a little luau fun. He even got nosies from Annie, so it was certainly worth stopping by.

Not to be outdone, Daddy got a kiss from his girl...

...but then he told her "no" and made her pout. Turns out our little sweetheart is a pretty good pouter. It also turns out her daddy would do just about anything to make her stop. Could be interesting to watch that little scenario play out the next few years.

And lest you think our family night was all fun and games, you can check out our lesson here. All it takes is a good story to get Cole's attention.
