Yay for S-U-M-M-E-R !!

For a few weeks now, we could feel summer creeping in. I don't know who was more excited, me or the girls :)

Last Thursday was EB's last day of Kindergarten, and her Daisy troop celebrated with a party that afternoon at Liberty Lagoon (a really cool, Baton Rouge city water park. Not too big -- just the right size for these two)

Unfortunately, Graham had to head out of town to a conference that afternoon but was able to surprise EB at lunch at school before he caught his flight. That night, the girls continued to celebrate with new shirts from Nona ...

I had been telling the girls all week that summer officially started when I got home from work on Friday. So, after playing with our sitter Beverly for the day, the girls and I headed out for our first ever visit to Counter Culture Frozen Yogurt. It did not disappoint!

Many people told me to get the Humphrey Yogart (frozen yogurt, honey, granola, and fruit). EB takes after her Aunt FeFe and got chocolate-chocolate (chocolate frozen yogurt with M&Ms, sprinkles, and gummy bears) and Lydia got "pink" (strawberry frozen yogurt with sprinkles and gummies, one guess as to who she copied for those toppings ideas)

My girls on our first official "summer" outing ...

I absentmindedly called the girls crazy what I was looking at this picture. EB was so bummed and disappointed with my word choice about her in the photo. When I asked her what I should have said to describe her. she earnestly replied, "Beautiful." Oh my.

On our way home, we stopped by the local garden nursery on the hunt for a fun sprinkler but instead came home with a bunch of flowers and plants that supposedly repel mosquitos for the back patio ...

I was pretty proud of how our summer officially started even though we never did play the "Summer" video from Frozen on the TV like I had planned ;)
