June 2016 [in phone pictures]

* hanging out at the mall play place while waiting for an oil change * 

* we got Naomi a new (very used) kids table - I couldn't even get it in the door 

before she (and neighbor Nia) plopped down at it with Play-doh *

* playing at Oakboro Park, the tried and true playground favorite *

* popsicles on the back porch * babysitting cousin Beckham * popsicles on the front porch *

* bliss in Papa Cavin's backyard * rain on River Street (we had to buy a new umbrella,
but it was totally worth it for a box of pecan turtles from Savannah Candy Company) *

* back to Oakboro Park with Lila * (trans)planting some elephant ears from Savannah *

* another great trip to the beach *

* a summer sunset * beach day #2 * digging a deep hole * 

* an afternoon that was the definition of happiness for him (a nap on the beach) 

and for her (her very own bag of Cheetos) *

* checking out the Bedford playground * more popsicles on the porch *

* a gelato first on a Mama-daughter date night * playdate with Reese and Lila at Jumpin JoJo's *

*lovin' on Lovey * chocolate ice cream on another Mama-daughter date *

* night-time story-time with Dad * painting a watercolor masterpiece for Fathers' Day * 

* helping Daddy unwrap his gifts * a new tree swing in the backyard * 

* seeing Paddington thanks to summertime free movie Tuesdays *

* grabbing some grub at the grocery store * discovering a Spanish fan 

(a gift from my college roommate, Joanne, circa 2007) * keeping cool on the floor vents *

* un-screening the screened porch... * and a new (to her) big wheel bike! *
