Summer Jamboree - with prize

They had all of the challenge cars lined up. The car they used for the African trip was in a right state and it still had the remains of the tent on the back.

Our summers are slow-paced. We usually try to spend quite bit of time outside since it always feels so short!

So there are camping trips (with trips to the beach):


And there are trips to the park:


We also just hang around our house and the kids play in their small pool, ride their bikes, or draw with chalk:



I also had my first Trollbeads meetup this summer! But I was having so much fun I forgot to take pictures.

Oh how darling are your girls? It goes so quickly, I miss all that. It looks like you're all having a perfect summer! enjoy!

Pandabee, your DH looks so happy, it sounds like a most wonderful gift

And Strike, your girls are adorable and the beach looks lovely! 

What a wonderful thread My summer pic is of my two new rescue kittens Luna and Maisie who we have just introduced to our home and the other three furry rascals who already live here, two of whom are also rescue cats I love them all so much

Awww, so cute!

It is a delight to see everyone's summer pictures!

We spent our summer break in the hot sunny south and especially my girl enjoyed it very much. After a day swimming at the pool and at the beach nothing is better to finish a day with a balloon and a face/body painting.


I've been visit several restored palaces nearby. Much has been done in the past years.


Tulips are popular every where though hardly better immortalized as done here.
