August heat wave

Scrapbook time!  Here's a look at our August 2017:

Hops game with the family, to celebrate Marcus' 42nd birthday

Red Velvet Whoopie Pies - yum!!!!!

Parish Campout was so great this year!  Lots and lots of bike
trails...and kids old enough to go without a parent!!

Just some of the kids at the campout

A little dance performance at a local festival

Our 2nd $1 Summer movie of the summer...this time to see
Lego Batman--it was sooooo funny!!  Great to see it
on the big screen (and for $7 for all of us!)

Water fun day on Hagg Lake
Marcus was GREAT on the wakeboard!

I took the kids out to the Street of Dreams to see 5 GORGEOUS
brand-new luxury homes.  We had a such a fun time!

We loved the atrium in this home

Annual State Fair trip -- here we are at the
very end, eating giant elephant ears :o)

lots of chicken love

August was just a great month.  These photos only show some of the adventures.  One thing I forgot to add was the Total Eclipse which happened to be on our first day of school.  We'll see if I can get around to posting pics before moving on....  ;o)  After Marcus' birthday week, then the parish campout, then one week of school prep, we started school strong.  As of today we are in week 9 of 32 and we are on track to end before May!!  (Well...the young kids at least.  Older kids' online classes continue thru the 2nd week of May, but that's it.)  Homeschooling is so great because we can adjust our schedule for Maximum Fun.  ;o)
