happy summer...

it's been a long time coming, that's for sure,

but summer is here,

and we are well into the beautiful swing of it.

(*disclaimer: don't start thinking "i wish i'd been a teacher" just so you can have 3 months to yourself...

make sure you spend some time in a classroom, by yourself, with 25 kids, for 8 hours, and not having time to pee before you go back to school to get your teaching certificate... you'll thank me)

no, but really, i love my students and miss them,

so much so that i've taken on a tutoring job for 4 of them just so i can 

spend more time with my cute friends.

anyway,

back to summer.

here's what we've been up to as of late...

i had the chance to meet my favorite musician of all time.

i know, many of you are sick of hearing me rant and rave about Dave Barnes,

but people - He is a.may.zing!

I've attached a video below as proof and as a selling point for you to get on iTunes right now and download any of his CDs.

Kirk and I literally fell in love to Dave Barnes music 

and even had one of his songs as our wedding song,

so this moment for us to both meet him was pretty presh!

 okay, last thing i'll say about DB...

his concert was incredible!!!

 and den...

the Cracroft Crew partied it up at Lagoon last week and had the time of our lives. 

after spending 3 hours at Lagoon-a-Beach in the blistering sun,

we may or may not have worn ourselves out before jumping on the rides.

kinda set us up for failure at being able to handle all of the wild rides.

but we still lived it up.

i had to wear my swimsut under my shorts,

and it may or may not have been 100% dry...?

oops!

 takin' off on The Bat...

 gettin' our cool-down on...

 preppin' for the Rocket

 creepy Medusa, creepier Kirk...

 the prizes my studly boyfriend won for me...

 the Speee-i-der...

 you can't tell, but we kinda-sorta got drenched on Rattlesnake Rapids...

 and lastly, Jon and Kirk (and Daddy-O)

braved the freaky Catapult. 

okay,

here's the incredible Davey B...
