We spent a week in Dallas on both ends of our Seattle Trip. I've combined our time there into one post, however, for convenience. Our first week spanned the end of June into the first week of July. Tim's family surprised everyone by driving down from Idaho and it was fun to spend time with them! Our second week in August was spent mostly with friends. Grandma and Grandpa went up to Minnesota. during that week, so we were at the house by ourselves.

We had a pool party at Greg's house before going to Seattle. It was fun to swim with cousins and enjoy each other's company. Even Liz was able to join us for a short time and it was good to see her!
Swimming at grandma's neighborhood pool is always fun because we usually have the place to ourselves

We were happy to be able to experience Crayola Experience again after returning from Seattle. It's a really fun place and because of COVID, there was hardly anyone there so they never had to wait their turn for any of the activities. This was their first time visiting a public place other than the swimming pool or library since March and they had so much fun! They got to design their own crayon label, print it out, and wrap it around a crayon to take home, melt crayons down into molds to make a crayon ring, melt crayons down and drip the hot wax on a spinning paper to create a fun design and so much more!
We visited a fun new place with friends called Little Elm beach. It's a free public park with a big sandy beach along Lake Lewisville. The kids had much fun building castles and playing in the warm water. We will definitely be coming back here next summer!
These sweet girls have grown so much and had a blast swimming and playing together!

Love this mom squad!
We also met up with our friends at the Jack Carter pool for another fun day of swimming. We love that place because it's basically a small waterpark (lazy river, slides, kid pool, rock wall, high dive) but only costs $5. We will probably take our kids here until they are teenagers!
And swimming with friends yet again... this time at a backyard pool/pizza party. Can you tell our kids love swimming?? This was Davey's first time going off the diving board. He had the opportunity to try it all summer, but was always too scared until now. Turns out he loves it!
