Some Events at the Beginning of our Summer

I have had a very busy summer, so I haven't updated this blog as often as I should have. Here are some happenings from our home that were from the beginning of the summer. I'll update you on the rest of the summer later.


Here's Andrea and Rylan being really cute on the back deck.

Here's Rylan at our city's annual parade.

Andrea was putting more parade candy in her mouth than she was in her bag. Can you tell?



Alexa at the parade


Alexa took a tennis class this summer. She had never even held a tennis racket before these lessons and she got pretty good by the end of the two weeks. I was proud of her!









Here's our first campout of the summer. We just went about 10 minutes down the road from
our house just in case Rylan was just as much fun to take camping as he was last year. We wanted to be close to home so if Joe needed to take Rylan home at 4:30 in the morning like last year then it wasn't a far drive. He did much better, however, and we were able to enjoy many campouts this summer. Here's my psychopath husband enjoying his marshmallow. (And it appears that he is planning how he will attack us all while we sleep.)


Andrea can still be a cutie covered with smores.


Here's Alexa with a view of the campground behind her.


Good morning, campers! We are starting to get pretty cramped in our little camper, but we always have a good time.
