The lazy mornings of summer are coming to an end.
Here are some highlights of our time together.
I think we found the perfect mix of learning,
playing and working this year!
I even got a few book reports from them. Ha!
Pool side with Audrey
My attempt at planting indoor herb plants.
It failed but looked so pretty for the first little while.
Although the lemon thyme is still doing great...go figure?
My basketball girls. Had a fantastic camp and can't wait to do it next year!

Took a trip up to Rocky Mountain National Park with fun friends.
It was pouring rain up in Estes Park so bumper cars
weas the thing to do after RMNP fun.
It was hilarious to watch!
12 hours later Henry was admitted to the hospital for a 24 hour antibiotic for an infection. He was a good patient.
He ordered grilled salmon and felt special.
I wish spiders didn't like him so much.
Lucy crowned me a mother of a teenager by turning 13.
Some of her friends after her party at Chipper's Lanes.
Then the 4th of July arrived and the Coons came over ready to celebrate along with Paul and Janet.
Thanks for the fireworks Dan!
We did not catch the bridge on fire this year.
No more amateur moves from us!
Teaching the girls to sew.
I was pretty methodical about it which paid off.
We have another lesson to fit in tomorrow
but I hope this will be something they will want to do for the rest of their lives.
That brown blob hanging there in the tree is a swarm of bees waiting for the scouts to find a new hive for them.
Seriously crazy and fascinating. We kept our distance though

Last event was getting ourselves to Elitch Gardens in Denver.
The kids had a blast.
And they rode every single rollercoaster there.
I made them.
Including the baby one.
I'm glad my kids are funny.
I love summer.
They are smart and funny and it is just so nice to spend down time with them.
Here is to many more!
