Summertime stuffs

Basket Ball at dusk, pretty much the only time the cement drive is cool enough to play on.

The mountains in the back ground are the perfect setting for a game with the boys.

It's after 10:00PM are your kiddos asleep? Not these ones. The Neighbors are still over and the popcicles are just breaking out(again).

When it's this hot 2 Otterpops are allowed at a time, as long as you keep an eye on both because Harley is an advantage taker. She loves popcicles.

Speaking of Harley, her favorite things include anything frozen but definitely not cold hose baths. Thanks to Z. for bathing her "for fun"!

D. just cant keep his hands off of other peoples clay, he is "helping" his mommy with a plate. He cant help it, there is clay in his veins.

Going on a ride in the west desert for a movie shoot. He is supposed to be part of a bike gang but I think his smile is too fatherly for a gang member.

This is what summer does to us. I love the kids faces when they are dead, I mean tired.

Even the dog is tired. I guess that is why we call it "dog tired".

You know it has been a really long day if T. has fallen asleep before dinner!

Picnic tables   can  be other colors than barn red. My sister A. painted hers and totally inspired this bright fun Willy Wonka table in our backyard.
