What Summer Dreams are made of

Grandparents, the Beach, cousins, tree swings and pools, with a dash of gymnastics, a sprinkle of building towers and a dollop of old friends. (July 2023)

Grandpa Tim loves to snuggle Daphodil.

These magnetic tiles kept Django and Rowdy occupied for hours.

Look mom, no legs!

Sand crabs!

Rocky and Django warming up on the sand.

The beach chair gnome.

Julie and I have been friends for ages. I love her so much, and I’m so thankful I got to see her!

Sleeping in the bunk house is cozy.

The Apple Store is always a fun place for kids.

Almost 100F (38C) calls for undies in the green plastic pool.

I love when they play well together. Thankfully it’s more often than not.

Boys, feed the dogs. Good thing my sister caught them. I think Rowdy was going to give Harley too many pain meds…haha!

Sharkey’s Mexican food.

We love Uncle Brett!

Daphné and Django were able to do a trial gymnastics class with their cousins.

Django jumping.

Bars and the foam pit.

Tower engineers.

Daphné and Django help Grandpa Tim put up the tree swing.

Heave ho!

Tonio was able to get the ropes over the branch.

Next step - get the end of the rope down.

Tie some knots.

Secure the knots.

And we have a tree swing.

Loads of fun.

Mom, can you push us?

Weeeee!

Swinging with Papa.

Mama’s turn.

Mama relaxing.

Pool party at Rowyn, Rowdy and Rocky’s other grandparents’ house.

It was fun to Django’s swimming confidence grow.

I even joined in the fun.

Swimming with my Django and my niece Rocky.

More towers. These two had so much fun together!

It’s really fun to go through all these pictures again. I hope you are enjoying our summer trip to California. More to come.
