Campfire

This was the first summer that we had a fire pit and enjoyed a few campfires! 

This was the day before our 10th anniversary! :)  

Jello Cells

Back to school..... we're studying the human body this year for science.  We're making jello cells here. :)  

Stay-Cation!

The first week in August, we took some time as a family and had a staycation. Dan had finished up working the construction job that he had this summer, and decided to take a week off before beginning to get things ready for the school year. It was a wonderful week!  We went to the fair, had a hot dog roast, went swimming at a friend's pool, and went to the dinosaur museum. 

At the fair!

Silly Joshua! 

Hi Grace!  

One day while Dan and I were picking raspberries, Joshua decided to feed the cats. :)
Dan had to come by and "unfeed" them later. :) 

Grace loved helping to pick (and eat!) the raspberries too!

One of Grace's favorite places! 

I love Joshua's tinker toy box "shirt"!
