real summer photos

i took these photos during that first heat wave, when it finally got hot enough here to get out the pool.

notice the cows hanging out on the other side of the fence (wishing they could jump in the pool i'm sure). love that.

lately they've been using strollers like lawn chairs... easy to move where ever you want them... comfy... shade... extra seats for their "babies"... perfect.

and i was very surprised when we gave this little girl a dip in the freezing cold water and she got so excited she was trying to jump out of matt's arms.

it was cold... i dipped my feet in for about two seconds and that was more than enough for me.

but this girl, you would pull her out and she would jerk around arching toward the pool until you finally dipped her back in.

see the love...?

we have another water dog on our hands.

can you believe she will be one year old in nine days?! just when i was starting to think she might stay a baby for awhile she starts acting like a big girl. it's like she knows that her birthday is coming up and she's suddenly made a switch! well, i suppose i'll have to get used to it.
