More Father’s Day Fun

I’m attempting to keep everything up to date, but our summer schedule has been so crazy that I fear it will be the end of summer before I finally catch up on everything!

After our mid-week excursion to San Diego, we stayed local for actual Father’s Day weekend.

We met up with the Wrights at Salt Creek for a picnic on the grass overlooking the ocean and some beach fun with the four girlies. IMG_3415 (1)

Eek!IMG_1504We also wished Great Grandpa a Happy Father’s Day and visited him at his place to take a dive in the pool. Love Samantha’s frantic attempt to escape here. IMG_1537In between swimming, the girls Skyped briefly with Grandpa back in Utah to wish him a Happy Father’s Day too. IMG_1535 IMG_1534IMG_1555Poor Jake– it was not an incredibly relaxing Father’s Day weekend for him, but he took it all in stride. That’s what makes him such an amazing Dad!

Happy Father’s Day 2015!

Summer Playdates

S and A have wasted  no opportunity to arrange playdates and soak up the sun with their friends as of late. It was a special treat for them to hang out with twin friends, Ellie and Michael, who are just a few months older than them at the Montage beach for a dinner picnic.

Bury me!

Samantha loved being buried in the sand with Ellie and Michael’s older sis, Aubrey. Amelia had fun torturing her sister by tickling her toes.

Besides dinners at the beach, S and A’s other favorite dinner option is having a picnic at the park with their friends. We had a big group this particular night, but the highlight for S and A was having the big girls, Lily and Avery, hang with them the whole time. Lily and Avery are hired as future babysitters– they were fabulous! Jake and I hardly even saw them the whole night. Added bonus– they even walked Bandit for us. We were child-less for the evening!

The girls also love to hang at Parker’s place or have him pop on over to ours. These guys are so silly together! IMG_1268

Parker knows how to tell the girls apart better than most of our friends. The other day, he walked up to Amelia and gave her a big hug, and then went to Samantha and patted her on the head. He knows Samantha too well– she needs her personal space! Seeing them interact never fails to entertain. IMG_1273
