Summer at Grandma and Grandpa's

There was so much that we didn't do while at my parents and so many people that we didn't get to see.  We just ran out of time and when I thought I had all the time in the world to do things we were just busy swimming and relaxing and not having any routine whatsoever.  10 o'clock seemed to be the new bedtime each night and then we would just roll out of bed whenever.  Now I am trying to get us back on somewhat of a routine the few weeks before school starts.  Not much of one, but at least practice some math, reading, piano, and go to bed at a decent hour.  I didn't even take very many pictures of things.  I was just relishing being away from home and not having other responsibilities and just taking one day at a time.  We visited my Grandma, rode the train at the Folsom Park (Abby hadn't done that yet), swam, swam, swam. 
Sammie mastered the backwards and forwards somersault in the pool this summer.  Abby got more confident in the water and will jump in and swim all over in her water wings.  Olivia is diving to the bottom of the deep end to get things off the bottom.
We went to the movies and saw Monster University, made homemade ice cream.  I made strawberry jam!  We watched a ton of movies.  The girls watched Star Wars episodes IV, V, and VI.  Played with cousins.  Had a second cousin party at my Aunt Suzy's.  I went to my cousin's bridal shower.  We went to a Rivercats baseball game.  Went on walks to the park with Buster, and rode bikes.  The girls had a movie night at Nate and Dianna's.  I think it sounds like the perfect summer at Grandma's house.
