Summer preview!

It's been a pretty weird month here in East Tennessee.  School's been in session and spring-like activities have been going on, but it has been H. O. T. HOT!  We have had days in the upper 80s and even 90s already, which have left us looking for some relief.  Pools aren't open yet (at least not the good old YMCA), so we've been spending a lot of our outdoor time w/ sprinklers, slip'n slides, hoses, and kiddie pools.  Anything to cool off in this heat!

Here are a few fun phone pics from our summer preview:

Good thing Cate always keeps a spare Ariel swimsuit on deck! ;D

Helllloooooooooo Bruester's! 

Free car wash! 

More sprinkler fun down the hill with Charlie!

Testing out the new pool.  The slide is a big hit! 

Of course, now that I wrote a whole post about how hot it is here, it looks like things will be cooling down to the mid-seventies for the rest of the week ... Oh well, I'm sure there is A LOT more summer fun still to come!
