It feels like we are settled into the sweet spot of summer. It's hot, sunny, and school is a distant thought! There has been lots of pool time, and finally a chance to catch our breath. Last week, Evie had cooking camp (which benefitted the whole family!), and Noah had a 2-day baseball clinic with the Vermont Lake Monsters.

| So fun! |
It was a fun week for both of them, with plenty of time for other summer fun in addition to the camps. Noah has taken a new interest in learning to skateboard, and he also had a blast mountain biking with Matt and Elliot. Evie and I opted for the more refreshing river outing with the dogs and other family members!

| Elliot is CRAZY-good, and Noah loved riding with him! |

| Noah is doing great, too! |

Here are some other glimpses of our summer fun from last week. Nothing wild, just simple fun - especially visiting with the most adorable sweet baby Eloise! She made our week!

Matt and I had the chance for a date night on Friday, and we opted to go without a plan, which made it very relaxing! After running some errands (how romantic!), we went down and had an awesome dinner at the waterfront at Farmers & Foragers.
We celebrated Carly and Grandpa's birthdays on Sunday night, and in addition to the excitement of the birthdays, we were surprised by a hot air balloon landing in Aunt Pea's yard! It was such a cool experience, and we all got to take a quick tethered ride in the balloon before they packed it up. There is something so magical about hot air balloons, and it was a perfect coincidence for it to happen on Carly's birthday!

| Here it comes! |
 |
| Happy 20th Carly! |
 |
| The whole fam piled in the balloon basket |
 |
| Ha! The burner was a little loud! |

| Cheers! |

| The whole balloon packed into that one bag! |
 |
| Happy (early) Birthday to Grandpa Zeke! We will keep the celebration rolling all week long! |
