tuesday pool fun with the boones
kristen boone invited us to the pool today so we spent all morning getting ready and off we went. at first, isaac wasn’t a fan, but after a ball was introduced into the picture, he was all in. we had a great day. lunchtime: the partial boone clan (and calvin): a delicious cookie to end […]
the past 7 days…

party @ the park…
