Family Fun

Summer has given us a lot of opportunity to have fun together as a family. These are pictures from one of the many pool parties we have had in our backyard:
Basketball with Daddy is one of Austin's favorite pool games. Check it out... he got a slam dunk! He's even still hanging on the rim.
Then Daddy does his version of a slam dunk... I don't think Austin is sure of what to think of it.
Going for another basket.
When Austin is all played out he likes to sit on the side of the pool with mom and warm up.

These pictures are from a hike we went on together early in the summer:

Austin always gets a comfortable shady place to be, right on daddy's back. He loves it up there, and even gets so relaxed he starts to fall asleep up there sometimes. Can you see it? This cactus has a flower. Ahhh, the beauty of the dessert. Of course, we stop for snacks to regain our energy and let the little passenger move his legs a bit...
...which leads to dirt everywhere. Perhaps even a little on the taste buds.
We're glad pool season lasts so long here in Phoenix, and we look forward to cooler weather when we can enjoy some hikes together again.
