The Peak of Summer

We bid our goodbyes to the Colorado Zehnackers last week after an awesome visit.  We had to squeeze in some final photos, soccer games, and Irish Dance before they headed out to the airport. So many great memories were made during the week...including the boys hitting a wiffle ball into the bowl of salsa during happy hour.  Ha ha!







We cheered ourselves up with some yummy ice cream cake for Grandpa Zeke's birthday!


After all the festivities, it was time to get back to normal life.  Noah had art camp for the rest of the week, and Evie seemed to be living her best life as an only child while Noah was gone to camp every day!  She spent time drawing, reading, sewing, practicing violin, as well as doing fun one-on-one things with each of us - rock climbing with Daddy and berry picking with Mommy.  We celebrated the end of the camp week with an ice cream date at Sweet Scoops!  

We are amazed at Evie's climbing skills!



She made it to the top!

Pool Happy Hour is our favorite

Night out for Mommy and Daddy at an outdoor concert

Evie was very pleased we brought a snack home from the concert

The weekend FINALLY brought us a sunny Saturday, and we had a free schedule!  Evie made crepes for breakfast (she had learned to make them at cooking camp), and then we spent a few leisurely hours at the pool, and then another couple hours playing at the river with Frankie.

I hate that we are already at the end of July, and my brain automatically starts thinking about school when we turn the calendar to August.  Not yet - we will enjoy the rest of summer first!

SO GOOD

Pool day!

Such a beautiful place for everyone to enjoy!



Frankie loved playing in the river


The kids had as much fun as Frankie did at the river!

Special treat on Sunday after church - a trip to the donut bus!

Drool-worthy

This guy has been pushing our buttons a lot lately, but he still makes us smile!
