Summer is so Sweet

and a little sweaty too. Who knew summer in DE was as hot and humid as summer in MS- not me. We have managed to get a few fun outings in while Ben is gone. We picked blueberries at the local farm. I had never even seen a blueberry bush before, so this was pretty exciting for me too. We also took a trip to Philly to meet up with Cole and wander around University of Pennsylvania's campus. Campus's in the middle of a bustling city are really a beautiful oasis.

What really makes summer so sweet are the simple things like playing in a warm rain, enjoying a cold orange julius in the backyard, eating peas straight from the garden, and keeping cool in the water. I love summer with a 1 and half year old. It just doesn't get better than this.

(Sorry for all the Rhone pictures, but without Ben here, who else can I take them of. Plus Ben likes seeing his little guy.)

When I was little we always ate peas with my great grandma. Peas in the pod will always be such a sweet memory for me.



Rhone was eating blueberries out of the bucket left and right. He LOVES them.


Apparently a bronze corner of the Declaration of Independence in the tushy, doesn't make Rhone want to smile- go figure.



Watching the duck family stroll through our backyard. I love the colors in this picture. It just says summer to me.

Rhone is wearing his free Phillies shirt. Thanks JC Penny.

Nothing like 2 puppy dogs drinking from the sprinkler.

Rhone working his hose magic. Holy smokes I am loud- so turn down the volume please!
