Souers Summer Survival

Like everyone else around here, the only way to survive the summer is to spend it in the water.  At least that's what Blake and I think.


Caroline and Ellie, on the other hand...not so much.  They loved strutting around in their swimsuits and shoes all summer long and somehow, they didn't get that wet.


Even if we went to the pool, they loved walking around the pool and moving all the chairs around.


These girls are constant motion.  They aren't overly dirty or climbing on top of things, but they are busy!


I enjoyed taking them to the splash pad near our house just to change it up from the backyard sprinkler or the neighborhood pool.


The setting is really beautiful and there always seems to be a nice breeze coming off the lake giving us a little reprieve from the oppressive humidity and heat.


Caroline and Ellie seem to enjoy it too, but for all the reasons that I hadn't anticipated.


I brought my camera on this particular day with the intention to get at least one cute picture of them playing in the fountain.


Instead, I got pictures of them taking a snuggle time out with beach towels...


Digging for treasure in the beach bag...


Playing on the stairs...


And pushing each other out of way to get where they need to go in this entire wide open area.  These girls are always on top of each other!


And as far as getting cute little picture of these girls playing in the fountain.... well, this is what I got.  And, sad to say, this is the best one.


Oh well.


Better luck next year.
