"Let's Go Fly A Kite..."

We've had quite the summer fun already, taking advantage of the beautiful weather!  One Saturday we decided we should fly kites, since neither of us could remember the last time we had.

So for $1.50 each, we purchased two high-quality kites and off to Midvale Park we went!

Caitlin's kite is much more stable and will go really high without much effort!  Mine, on the other hand, requires extensive labor to simply keep it in the air.

Tons of fun!

Caitlin was such a pro she could fly her kite while swinging!

Speaking of 'pro,' we are getting pretty good at mini golfing now too!

Caitlin only lost her ball to the water hazard ONCE this time!

My sister Heidi and brother-in-law Russell came into town to bless their new baby, Sammy.  It was really fun to see them and their family!

All the kids adore Aunt Caitlin!

Clara is really going to have a rough adjustment to not being the baby anymore...

Apparently I don't actually have any pictures of baby Sammy, so you will have to click on the link to Heidi's blog for those!  I am sure there are plenty!  (Link is on the right-side toolbar.)

UPDATE: Ask and ye shall receive!  Nearly immediately after publishing this blog post (creepily fast, actually), Heidi saw it and sent me pictures of us with baby Sammy!  Enjoy:

Thanks, Heidi!

It has been a beautiful summer so far, and we still have half left!

(P.S., above is someone's backyard that we visited!  I am so jealous.)
