June-July

So it seems that once per month posts is about all I can manage... and now I've slipped to every other month...  But, give up on blogging I will not!!  So, here's a summary of June and July, which I can hardly believe are already in the past.  It's been a full summer.  Most of the season's bucket list items have been checked off - vacation, camps, 4H fair, swimming, garden (fail) - and now it's time to get in gear for the school year.  The goal is to begin on Monday.  Joy has one more week of ballet intensive, and we're sneaking in one more week at the beach, but school books are traveling with us.  Grades 11, 8, 7, 5 and pre-K, we're ready for you!

Spike turned 15 (what!??) and threw out the first pitch at our local minor league game to commemorate the occasion.

Receiving trophies for reserve champion projects at the 4H fair. Yo-yo is particularly enthralled with her first ever trophy.
