Summer Days

The week was filled with lots of swimming, berry picking, and keeping cool plus a few fun activities on the weekend.  We could not ask for more.  We hope everyone is doing well, making time for what is important, and not being too hard on themselves. 

Addie and Amy helping a neighbor friend with plant watering while our friend was away.  Addie loved using the hose and the nozzle set on "mist".


Crazy cat!  Shadow sleeping on the cool wood stove...with his head hanging over the edge. 


Amy went for an early morning kayak with a friend on Tuesday - gorgeous!


Friday evening bike ride to check out Adam's black raspberry picking spot :)

Ayson wanted to make pancakes on Saturday morning so Adam walked Ayson through the pancake making process (and the clean up)!  Yum and THANKS Ayson and Adam!!!


Ms Annie (our friend that was away) stopped by to give us a few thank you gifts for watering her plants during one of the hottest and driest weeks of the summer.  We were glad to help!

Addie LOVES the kitty statue in Ms Annie's garden and now Addie has her own:)   Thanks so much, Annie!!!


Lego fun (or frustration - hahaha)

Yay, the garden is looking fabulous and in addition to tomatoes ripening and pumpkins growing, we have sunnies and purple coneflowers.




It poured at our house Saturday night with about 2 inches of rain!!
Which led to a cool Sunday morning - perfect for a kayak on Labrador Pond with the family!!!
Addie paddling...we will be getting another kayak this summer as Addie is too big now to sit with Amy in the same kayak.  Ayson paddled the entire time  - the kids are growing up!
