| We camped out in the backyard one night. Ethan took the marshmallow roasting very seriously. |
 |
| My friend Niki worked with Andrew, Hannah, and Luca to plan, shop for, and make a meal for our families to share. They loved it! |
 |
| They decided on "breakfast for dinner" and made crepes, bacon, and fruit salad. It was delicious! |
 |
| I decided that summer is actually a good time for visitors to come visit us. Yes...it is very hot and humid but as long as you like the water there is lots to do. My kids have all fallen in love with water slides. |
 |
| Pizookie...too bad the kids weren't excited about it :). If you've never tried it, you must. Normally we use chocolate chip cookie dough but we didn't have chocolate chips so we put chocolate sauce on top instead. When it is still a little gooey you take it out and pile the warm cookie with ice cream then dig in. |

| Emily is showing the crawdads she caught at the river |
 |
| It is so hot during the day so we like to play outside in the evening. It doesn't cool down a lot but feels better without the sun on you. |
 |
| Picking peaches and blackberries |
 |
| Hannah, Emily and I took a trip to the butterfly house |
 |
| He wasn't feeling well so the girls were taking really good care of him. |
 |
| Johnson's Shut-ins |
 |
| It is a hard place to explain but seriously awesome |
 |
| Our friends invited us to go with them to take care of the farm of another friend who was out of town. The girls got to collect fresh chicken eggs. |
 |
| They also helped take care of the ponies |
 |
| ...and held the chicks |
 |
| The boys came too but weren't interested in the farm work |
 |
| They did all love playing in the pool afterwards though |
