July was a full-blown "summer" month for us!
This year we stayed close to home all summer (after our big May trip to Scotland--oops--didn't post any stories about that yet!!). We had mostly "typical" adventures, with a few new ones thrown in. Here are some photos from about half of July:
 |
4th of July parade on Main Street, with
friends and cousins |
 |
| We brought cinnamon rolls to share. |
 |
| Light-saber duel as a "half-time" display between fireworks |
 |
| Seaside weekend with cousins...8 kids but only 2 adults... :o) :o) |
 |
| more fun at Migrant Ministry |
 |
5 kids in VBS this year!!! Bunny was a leader, James was in
music, and Mariposa, Gemma, and Sedric were participants |
 |
| spa time at the Allison :o) :o) |
 |
Papa did lots of excavator work for us--
Sedric, too!! |
 |
3 kids went off to Camp Howard (Bunny, James, and Gemma)
and came home with lots of memories
(in this pic, James is with friend William) |
All 3 of my Camp Howard kids won the coveted "Cougar Award" for setting an excellent example for all campers. We had fun listening to Bunny and James' stories about Gemma's first year at camp--apparently, she was a BIG hit. :o) Everyone knew her name by the week's end, which isn't really surprising if you know Gemma. :o)
 |
Mariposa was a BIG helper with Bunny gone, so I rewarded
her with a shopping trip and a visit to Mod Pizza |
