Hometown Summer Fun

The kids and I spent a few days at Mimi and Pa's house, and even though the weather was not very summer-like, we found summer fun at the parish festival, at the kiddie pool in Mimi and Pa's backyard, and at our cousins' house. To escape some of the rain, we also checked out a children's museum in a nearby city. It was so kind of Mimi and Pa to let us come take over their house for a few days!

Halfway through, she abandoned the club, realizing it was easier to push the ball in with her hand
