Summer 2011... Summed Up

Summer here in South Texas has been dry and hot... and dry.  We had no rain for the better part of the year.  Maybe less than a couple inches since last year.  Wildfires made the news and we prayed... PRAYED for rain.  A lot of days we spent inside doing arts and crafts avoiding the heat that surged past 100 for the last half of the summer.   Here's how we spent our summer:
BBq with friends...
4th of July Celebrations

Hanging on the patio being fabulous...
And trying to keep cool...
We watched the final space shuttle launch on July 8th....
Trying to keep our potted plants alive in the drought and water restrictions...
Keeping cool indoors.... 

Balloons with friends on a hot summer evening... 

Father's Day

Celebrating with Daddy, a few kisses and a little hip hop attitude....

Spring Ballet Rehearsal



Grandma's Visit

Grandma came to visit at the end of May, just in time for the last day of school and the ballet recital.  What a wonderful few days enjoying Medina Lake, the River walk and girl time!   We sure do miss her :)

Hope's Visit

In May I attended a photography workshop and my friend, Michelle and her daughter, Hope came for the weekend.  Michelle is a photographer I knew in Hawaii and she's since moved to Arizona.  It was so nice to hang out with an old friend who shares the same passion of photography.  The girls had so much fun playing and hanging out for 4 days.  It was great!!!
