Happy Birthday, Amy!

Happy birthday to Amy and kayaking, berry picking, pies, and pool time during the weekend!  We hope that everyone is enjoying summer and time with family and friends!!

A fuzzy bumble bee spent the night on this hosta flower!

On Tuesday, friends came over to swim - it was too cold for our kids to swim but our friends did not mind!!!

Gorgeous full moon on Wednesday morning!

A little badminton practice

Making mac and cheese to take to Ms Annie and Mr Bob's Thursday for dinner.

A funny kitchen towel at Ms Annie's!

Friday night fun and we got to meet a new friend: Gordy - a new puppy for Kate's son, Emmett.  Emmett is holding Grody while Gordy doggie paddles in the pool :)

Amy's birthday activity was to go kayaking at Labrador pond early in the morning - so we went Saturday morning!  

Fog on the water.

Ayson checking out a patch of pitcher plants that Amy discovered for the first time ever at Labrador!

Very cool

A great blue heron was fishing while we were on the water.

Gorgeous morning!

When Ayson was getting off the water, he accidently caused his boat to move away from him and out into the pond.  Addie and Adam to the rescue!

After kayaking, we picked blue berries - yum!

The rows of berry bushes along the side of the hill.

Two monarch caterpillars on our front garden milkweed!

Looking for more caterpillars...

The kids picking apples so we could make two pies: a blueberry pie AND an apple pie!

Peeling - Addie wanted to try.

Yum!  Pool time and pie with friends!!!
