River, Sugar Hollow and Water Balloon Day

Its hot and humid out so we are trying to find places to keep cool. We spent some time at the river down our street, hiked up to Sugar Hollow with friends and checked water balloon day off our Summer fun list.

We really love this hike and swimming hole.

Water balloon Day:

Lydia was perfectly content to just sit in here for a good while.

This was the favorite activity. We drew virus's and bad guys on our chalkboard and threw lots of water balloons at them.
