June-August 2016

Summer has been full of adventures for us in Nashville. We have spent lots of time outdoors -- although avoiding the peak heat times with naps. We use this little red wagon sometimes when we're just *too* tired to walk the rest of the way home from the playground. We also have a helpful little shopper when we go to the grocery store -- although she tends to favor items on the lower 2 shelves :)
Sometimes this means that we check out with 5 bottles of soy sauce in the cart without knowing it.

We also visited our co-workers house which had so many cool animals! We pet and fed the horses and chickens and walked the dog.

We also had so much fun in Kiawah this year. 2016 might have been the best year yet! The kids got to see baby sea turtles, alligators, and lots of other wildlife. They also played in the water and sand and made various sand creations. Thanks to Grandma Margie for the matching swimsuits. They clearly were a huge hit.

During our Kiawah week, Sean got a job offer for something he was really excited about -- so here's Sean's "first day of work" picture. 

 We also attended the Wilson County Fair which was about 30 miles East of Nashville. They had a cool petting zoo, where we pet goats, pigs, a cow, and even some friendly chickens. Hazel also had a blast on her first carousel ride! I think she's getting ready for the Bloomington Fun Frolic!
