Paris has found her calling in life - to frequent this new, amazing candy store near her preschool as often as possible

so this is what happened today after alex asked me to take off his training wheels

Our daily ritual of walking down the trail to the creek (w/ Cydney of course)- tonight included a fancy chicken nugget dinner

93 degrees and we hit our third water park of the season :)

90 degree day at the park

Alex and Paris (holding her trusty pink lovey) were preparing for finals today in school :)

Paris and Alex caught tadpoles at a nearby stream last week- one is visible in upper right corner

After 7 straight hours at the park with Paul today, the kids still had energy and excitement for Cydney, their favorite person
