Summer Fun... by Marin

Hi, Marin Here. As you may know, Mom and Dad have been off of work since Piper was born. That has made for one FUN summer! Here's a sampler of what we've been doing:

On Wednesday's I go to gymnastics. My favorite is jumping on the trampoline, and I am getting good at my "high-low-over you go" somersault!

When it's going to be hot for a few days, we get out the backyard pool and fill 'er up. Daddy also puts the hose down my swingset slide and makes it a water slide!

I'm starting to like dressing up more and more.

While I don't like the sound of the electric beaters, I do love helping mom bake cookies and brownies, especially the clean-up part.

When we're not playing, sometimes Mom and dad take Piper and I for walks in our Burley. It's usually a little loud for the first few minutes until Piper stops SCREAMING!

We've also gone on trips to see friends like Julia and Katie, Zach and Luke, Sam and Emily, and my Wisconsin cousins.

Sometimes friends come to visit us, too. Ellie, Saundra, and Gavin came to play, so did Isabelle, and my new friends down the street, Zach and Katie!

I also spend a lot of time playing with my good friend, Ella. Yesterday, she and I went to Teddy Bear Park in Stillwater. It was so much fun, we even got sand in our diapers. I've been to many parks this summer...Mermaid Park, Big Blue Park, Sand Park, Big Slide Park, and Teddy Bear Park....not to mention the WATER PARK!

It's been fun. We quite a bit of summer left to go, though. I'll give you another update later!
