Scott & I love going to the Phillies Games. All that I had along was my little point & shoot camera, but I got some pretty close-up shots of some of our favorite players.

Our Great Care Group

Last night we had a Care Group Pool Party at Scott's parents house. Fun times!

Last weekend Gap Park had "Community Night". There was food, activities for the kids & a few concerts. We had so much fun enjoying the summer evening.

Somehow Addalie managed to get more than a few train rides....

The 4th

On July 4th The Lapps & Moriah came over. We had a campfire & roasted hot dogs/Smores. Later we set off some fireworks & the kids played with sparklers.

The next night we did our traditional "watching the fireworks @ Long's Park"(but not at the park =)) with LOTS of friends from church.

A Big part of summertime for us = Softball

We are in the middle of another softball season. Scott plays on our church team. It is fun to spend beautiful warm summer evenings watching him play & chatting with friends/family in the crowd. Addalie loves to cheer & is often found standing at the fence yelling "GO DADDY!" Too cute.

basil

My little garden is growing quite nicely. We are starting to "eat out of it"!! One thing that I am not always sure how to use is basil. I use it occasionally in recipes etc. but always have way more in my garden than I need. So I came across this great blog that has step by step directions on how to freeze it & also some good recipes to use the frozen or fresh basil througout the year.

Last Saturday morning, Addalie & I came bounding down the steps-heading out the door for her weekly swimming lessons and,,,, there was Scott! He totally surprised us & didn't go to market that day. This is the first time since we've been married that he had a whole day off without plans. I must admit, this market schedule is a bit more difficult since Addalie came along....She doesn't see him much/or at all on the weekends & we don't ever really have "Saturdays" even during the week. So, we had a FUN weekend day with him. =) He came with us to Addalie's swimming lessons. He took some pictures of her & I in the pool...but of course I didn't "like" them so you will have to settle for a "post-pool" picture.

Afterwards we played at the playground (at the YMCA where her lessons are held.)


Then we went home & relaxed. I went grocery shopping & Scott & Adds napped. Later in the evening we went to the pool again! (Ken & Karen's pool this time.) We got dinner at Isaacs & ate outside & then spent a very relaxing evening in the pool.

On the way home, we went to Rockville Square for their yearly fireworks show. No pictures from that. But it was fun. Addalie literally fell over when they started....she was so shocked!
What a fun fun summertime day.
