These are from 4th of July weekend but somehow I missed them for the blog. Ike and Molly were having a good time on the platform of the Shelter. Ike has progressed quite a bit since then too and this weekend Harcourt was in the water and Ike was jumping in on his own and having a ball. 
Ike finally learned "no" along with the famous "why" and best of all "Mommy"... yeah!
In our house, we like to make the MOST of Summer. Tonight was a pretty typical mid-week night.... hot at the house and nice on the water! Which would you choose? Exactly!
Summertime....another gorgeous weekend here in Guilford. We did lots of fun activities and by Sunday night we are all whooped. Today we got up and went to the beach early with the Petersons and Steffens, followed by early nap and then a 'Big Whaler' ride out to the Thimbles for a raft up with Cutter, Stacey, Wylder & Co. Ike is a real fish these days and loves to jump in and swim with Harcourt off the boat. As someone who grew up learning to swim in the Country Club swimming pool in Atlanta, GA, it is very impressive to see a little 1.5yr old happily jumping into deep, dark, cold and salty water (with life jacket of course). We ended the day with a little picnic :-) A few more shots here. We hope you all are enjoying your summer!

How cute is this!
He really gets going about his Daddy Daddy!
We weren't lying about his enthusiasm for boats.
More to come tomorrow but this should give you some idea of our weekend. The weather wasn't stellar but it didn't seem to slow us down at all. It was a typical 4th for us that included boats, sailboat races, naps, pyrotechnics, bonfire, dinner & dancing with friends, parades, oh and did I mention more boats....we are definitely tired. Hope your holiday weekend was a good one!
The colors were flying high all around the yacht club on Independence Day!

The annual bonfire and pyrotechnic display at the Johnson's did not disappoint!
A majority of Ike's weekend was spent in this position! The kid loves the red boat!
