summer fun

summer is here. the pool is out. the kids are playing.
on this particular saturday, we had 5 kids in the pool and hershey kisses to eat. what more could you want? mia (my hair helmut) outgrew her (aidan's) float ring about 3 years ago, but she figured she would squeeze in anyway. dj wasn't going to swim at first, then decided he was going to sit on the ladder with his clothes on (i did offer him swim trunks), then before you know it, he's in the pool fully clothed! kids! but what a fun day and a great way to kick off the summer! until next time.......

parks family dinner

so the 1st annual parks family dinner was held recently at the pasta house in st. louis. by far it was a great event. we were able to get together with family that we hardly ever get to see (which is really sad because jc and stl are not far apart). the matriarchs of the family were in attendance (as you can see below). i am so glad that i have these two beautiful women in my life! good company, laughs, food and wine were enjoyed by all! i hope this can become a tradition. family is so important and vital. now on to the bogee family reunion in july......

until next time.......
