Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's that we know!!!  The kiddos are glad to almost be DONE with school - Ayson has one more test to take (Spanish) on Monday and he does not have to stay at school after the test.  

Amy was away for work on the Buffalo and Niagara Rivers collecting fish to assess PCB and mercury concentrations for the human consumption advisories.  

Two "circle of life" fish pics (big fish eating small fish:)

A picture of fish gills for Addie

 

Flower pics interspersed throughout the week

Addie using the "wimpy" rake to gather up the weeds/grass Amy pulled from the red raspberries.

We found two garter snakes in our yarrow patch on Saturday afternoon.

Ayson teaching himself how to make a website

Hi test website is text from a book on snails.

Addie made Adam another cool Father's Day card.  Ayson split and stalked the remaining firewood that was on the ground as his gift to Adam :)  

Silly Stormy!

For Father's Day, Adam wanted to go for a hike on the west side of Labrador Unique Area (the non-hang gliding side).  It was a gorgeous day for a hike!!  

Slug pic for Addie.

Stormy was sitting in her cage and Ayson willingly joined her and he shut the door.

Puppy scritches after a late lunch of pizza and wings.

When will it (school) end?!

The kiddos are SO ready for school to be done for the year!  The weather certainly felt like summer with even Amy getting in the pool on Friday and Saturday.  

We are sending good thoughts to our family and friends and we hope everyone is taking care of themselves!! 

Addie insisted on getting this $5 unicorn floatie (for ages 3-6).

The traditional summer balance and throw challenge.

Ayson helping Adie with a math problem.

A boy and his dog.  Ayson went to Lake Bonaparte with Annie and Bob Friday afternoon through Sunday morning and did more yard work for a neighbor.  Ayson was tied when he got home!!  

We have lots of flower pictures from the week :)

Hello June!

We had a quick week with Ayson working each day after school either at the lavender farm or dairy farm (so limited photos of the big Guy).  Addie and Amy attended the school Art and Mental Health show and we checked out Addie's art work on display, played games, and made a calming craft in honor of Ella.  We hope everyone is doing well and we are sending good thoughts to all our family and friends.  Take care of each other!!

Addie brushed Stormi - LOOK at all the dog hair!

Stormi doesn't mind cuddles (Thunder only cuddles on his terms ;)

Lupine!

During walks, Jett is notorious for sitting in puddles to cool off.  He LOVED getting in the little pool on the hot Saturday afternoon.
