Summer Adventures

We have had a wonderful summer.  I can hardly believe it is coming to a close.  We will have one last hurrah this week as we take our family vacation at the beach.  Here is a recap of our summer fun:

We played with the chickens...a lot

We went to the Grange Fair

We did some stuff with paint, but not as much as we would have liked because Mommy has a hard time with messes.  She's working on it...

We had a great time relaxing by the pool with family

We spent a lot of time exploring the outdoors

Nora is getting around so well with her walker!  Our family walks are a lot longer than they used to be.

Snuggling cousins in the sun

We spent a week in Virginia with good friends.  They have a 4 year old boy.  We learned all about "boy:" toys.

We went to the beach with friends

We visited some farm animals...

...and gave them all hugs

We played with Daddy.  He is wonderful.

Oh how we love to go up in the swing!

Lucy started walking around her 1st birthday and she said her first word "ball" two weeks ago.  New words emerge daily.

We did some home improvement projects - chicken stuff, vegetable garden beds, painted exterior doors

the help

We went to the zoo with Grammy

We spent time with our wonderful "Poppi" (my Dad) who is doing well and who continues to be a tremendous blessing to us.  (I don't know why I can't make this bigger!)
