Living to the fullest until school starts

A banner summer day.  My heart exploded with happiness multiple times.  A day at the beach with my favorites.  The boys after being buried in sand.

Brothers play date

Summer play date for the boys, brothers the same age and friends from preschool.

Skate park fun

Shawn discovered this skate park near our house with the kids.  A fun change on a summer morning.

Nebraska Trip

The end of July/early August we made a trip to Nebraska.  Our first stop was to Mick and Sue's new home in Omaha.  They gave us a place to stay over night on our route to Wood River.  It was so nice to see Sue and the girls, Mick was a way for work.  Celia and Audrey shared a midnight snack of french fries.

The next day we drove to Wood River to stay at Grandpa Dennis and Grandma Jane's house.  Deanna and her kids were there and cousin Julia too.  Lots of fun cousin time.

We celebrated cousin Ryker's birthday.

The trip was a good one.  See you in the winter Nebraska.

New Do

Baseball

Noah played baseball this summer.  I don't think it is a favorite, but he enjoys it.  Time will tell if he chooses it for next year.  The last game each season they play where the high school games are held AND under the lights.  It is exciting and we get to cheer the team on from the bleachers.
