Summer is here!

We had a great Memorial Day weekend. Summer is definitely in full swing in the Vaca household. We've made several trips to the pool and are already gearing up for our 4th of July beach weekend. Our long weekend was just the right balance of fun things and relaxation. Friday night we had our friends, The Cains, over for a cookout. Saturday we did lots of yardwork during the day before heading to a Charlotte Knights baseball game with Ava that evening. Her favorite parts were the kids' area bouncy house and carousel, followed by getting to meet "Caroline" the team mascot's female sidekick (she's a big green dragon!)

Sunday we went to church then spent the afternoon at the pool. Ava is getting more and more confident in the water, and we're hoping to have her lifejacket-free by mid summer so she can really enjoy the water to its full value. We headed over to Grammy and PopPop's for a cookout Sunday night which was quite yummy! Audrey especially loved the cake!

Monday it rained (downpoured) from 10am onwards. Luckily we got in breakfast at Panera and a trip to the park before the rain started. It made for a fun day at home just lounging around and enjoying one another.
