Summer starts early around here

Our little meteorologist (Julia) wonders why summer doesn't officially start until late June yet around here summer has definitely begun. Today was our first day in the pool. The water was still a little cold so only Bella (and the dogs) truly got in. After that,we brought out the Slip n Slide while Camille snoozed inside.

*She wanted to wear her floaties until she was sure she could swim like last summer.

*Why our dogs LOVE summertime. Who needs daily walks??
Check out Harley the flying dog. Pretty impressive for a senior citizen canine!

*Harley and her precious tennis ball. Enlarge the picture to see the full effect of her bug eyes.

*We think Harley (above) was the inspiration for Ice Age's Scrat character.
