Caitie braiding Bailey's hair before getting in the pool.
Love Bailey's red and white gingham swimsuit. I love most things gingham, especially in red and white.
Caitie has a NASA swimsuit. She's into space stuff. She was wanting it for a trip she took back in April to a place called AstroCamp, but Target didn't have it in stock then, so she had to get a different one for the trip. It was back in stock at Target recently, so we grabbed one.
We had a barbecue and went swimming for Father's Day. Here's Bailey "jumpin' into summer". When the pool goes up, it's officially summer here at the Hawk household. Michael, with a little help from me, put the pool up the weekend before last, but we couldn't use it because there was a piece missing to the pump. The piece finally arrived and Michael was able to put it on yesterday, so the pool is finally ready to get into. The new pool from last year had to be thrown out when trying to take it down after summer last year. It didn't come apart easily and ended up tearing in places. So this is a brand new pool; and yes, we bought the same one, we couldn't find another one that fit our needs like this one. Hopefully we'll figure out a way to take it down without it tearing this time.
The weather has been so nice lately, and wasn't super hot like it usually is this time of year, so the pool water hadn't heated up much yet and was a bit cool when first getting in, so Caitie floated around on the 'donut' floatie, as we like to call it, before getting all the way in the water.

Our cat Simon relaxing on top of Michael's father's day gifts.
We included these flip flops as one of Michael's father's day gifts, and we just had to get some for ourselves as well. Instead of having to stand in our yard to feel the grass between our toes, we just wear these and save ourselves from having to exert energy and walk outside. Yes, we're that lazy. Now if someone would just invent a perfume that smelled like freshly cut grass.
These are actual shoes, but they're made of synthetic grass, so there's no need to mow or water them. ha And no, we don't actually have these shoes, but if they were real grass, I would definitely own a pair. ;)
