summer lovin'

Since summertime is SOOOO hot, there have to be some serious perks to endure it! Berries definitely being one of my perks!!! The blackberries are HUGE! The pictures don't do them justice- yum.
They taste even better than they look too!
This is so cool. A gigantic turtle laid eggs (at least 8 that we saw) in the side of our yard!!!! It was so crazy. Then she covered them up and now the neighborhood kids are waiting for a bunch of little turtles.
We finally started a garden!!!! This was a picture before we planted anything, you should see it now!!! It is so exciting, I can't wait to have fresh veggies!
One of my favorite things about summer is cooling off with water. The kids were "helping" Dudi wash the cars and took a break to try and get a drink from the hose!

Anything to try and stay cool!

Love the berries! They look delicious. What veggies did you plant? I planted tomatoes, peppers, pumpkin, zuccini and herbs. We have had so much rain and not enough sun -that they are not really doing that well. :(

That is seriously so neat about the turtles.

I just found you blog and thought I would leave a comment so it would be easier to find ours. It was sooo fun to hang out at the pool today and catch up. The turtle eggs are awesome, my kids are in love with all things reptile, so they will especially appreciate this.
