Our summer break started with a visit from some of Rebekah's family for Memorial Day. Aunt Rootie, thanks for the new boa's and strawberry swimwear!

Pool party with all of the family means more treats than normal. Here Sydney and Abigail are chowing down on their own Blue Bell ice cream treats at the pool.

Sydney doesn't look very excited, but both of the girls love their [Great] Aunt Rootie! Victor and Steve, I've unintentionally omitted you from the pictures this time, but I knew you wouldn't really care.

A few weeks later, we continued our vacation season with a trip to Nixa, MO. Why Nixa, MO you ask? Because it is the hometown of Jason Bourne and the Dunagan/Shelton clan. Making flower necklaces on the Dunagan's "Property" - what a nice expanse of yard and open space!

Brady and Jenny chillin' in the p-o-o-l. Lots of spelling around our house these days - you can't say it or they think they are getting it!

2 sets of sisters.

Pool time, munchkin style.
After a couple of days in Nixa, we headed to Branson for a family reunion...
