Shiloh you always came

When I got in the pool at 10am, I texted a bunch of friends to come swim. They were All at the beach, zoo, working or traveling. So the boys and I just swam by ourselves. (Craig did make a cameo with a surprise canon ball at lunch time.)

Then around 2pm, I was almost asleep on my pool raft and hear yelling and splashing. My 10yr old gang had came to play. No call. No doorbell. No explanation. Just canon balls. Just the way that I would prefer.

My nephew nick and cousin rachels 2 boys, plus a few friends..... The neighborhood gang. They've been stopping by to play randomly since I moved to the neighborhood.

Today they swam, played with my boys( the always make park feel like a million bucks), helped plant my flowerbed, planted their own sunflower seeds that we labeled with Popsicle sticks for a growing contest and spent over an hour picking and eating things from the yard and garden and raving about how cool it all was. What more could you want in a friend?

In return, I fed them blueberry pie with ice cream and lemonade.

Ahhhhhhhh. Summer.
