Afterwards the two girls posed in the shade, soaked and just thoroughly pleased with themselves. You’ve gotta love a hot day in the sun with a slip-n-slide and all your family!<\/p>\n
<\/a>Awww!<\/p><\/div>\n
Of course this was a graduation party and there were actually three girls who we were celebrating that day: Ashley, Heather and Brittany. I was appointed photographer for the day and ran around snapping a couple of hundred photos. I won’t include them all, but here’s a very nice shot of the three girls.<\/p>\n

Then Mira got down to business. That is the business of eating summer food and drinking soda. When I say summer food, yes I am talking about chocolate cake. Is there anything that chocolate cake doesn’t go with? Heat, cold, sun, rain, snow, whatever, it’s always better with chocolate cake. I love how when you get so wet in the summer that no matter of any time out of the water can dry your hair. That’s awesome.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Food!<\/p><\/div>\n
Heather wanted to get another nice shot with Mira. After a day of sprinklers, water, sun, sugar, chocolate cake, soda and who knows what else, I was surprised that Mira was feeling a little tired and shy!<\/p>\n
<\/a>So shy!<\/p><\/div>\n
And then we have our problem baby. Yelling and screaming as usual. Here’s Mark and I just hanging with Luna!<\/p>\n

Shortly after that, Erika got Luna in her jammies and we rushed her off to bed. The after party was happening at the local pool and Mira had a date with her green raft that we didn’t want to miss.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Ready for bed?<\/p><\/div>\n
Once she got acclimated to the water, we couldn’t drag her out. We threw her and towed her and generally had a great time in the water with all the teenagers celebrating the end of the year.<\/p>\n

By the time things started to wind down, we found Mira soaking wet and destroying this bag of chips in the corner. See her hair?!? I told you it’s impossible to dry ones hair after a certain amount of time in the water!<\/p>\n
<\/a>Chips!<\/p><\/div>\n
Erika got together with Mark for a quick shot to end the night. This daddy and daughter combo had a really fun time and I’m glad this looked so good. It’s a keeper in my book.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Daughter and Daddy!<\/p><\/div>\n
The next morning, everyone was on the road pretty early and we quickly set back on our 8+ hour trip back to beautiful Cleveland.<\/p>\n
The summer is in full swing now and I’ve got tons of stories and pictures to share. Check back in soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
When last we left our fearless group. We were visiting relatives of Erika in Virginia. After a way too long day visiting the Washington Zoo, we got ready for Heather’s big graduation party (Heather is Erika’s cousin). I was pleasantly … Continue reading
