What Have We Been Doing All Summer?

Where has the summer gone?  We have been busy, but enjoyed lots of lazy days playing at the pool.  

In early June we visited the Louisville Zoo.  Alexander then spent a week visiting Mimi.  While Alexander was away we went to the preparty for the Moonlight Ride.  We celebrated our friend Ben and his successful treatment at St. Jude.  

Alexander also celebrated his friend Merrick's birthday at Holiday World.  We went to Frankfort for a wedding, but Alexander stayed with Nana.  We enoyed visiting with Jessica, Derek, Addie, and baby Asher.  Audrey stayed with Mimi that week while Mommy, Owen, and Alexander went to Bible School.  Owen loved Bible School and Mrs. Pam and Mrs. Abby.  Mommy and Alexander enjoyed our time together in the kindergarten class. 

 We also celebrated at Ellen's wedding.  The kids had a blast dancing and hanging out with some of their favorite people, Madeline, Trey, Ellen, Jake, Allie, and Emily.  

We had another great day picking blueberries.  We picked and ate more than 6 pounds of blueberries.  Once again Owen was the champ at eating them right off the bush.  

 















We often visited the library to participate in Fancy Nancy Tea Parties, Paw Patrol Days, or see the penguin from the Newport Aquarium.  

Audrey was thrilled to see Madeline try on her wedding dress and make a new bear at Build a Bear Workshop.  This was her reward for learning to swim.  Her new bear is Little Bear.  Audrey treasures her girl time.  What a fun day with Nana, Manny, Mommy, Ellie Jelly, and Miss Jill.  

We also dressed up like cows in order to get a free meal at Chick Fil A.  We have enjoyed playing in the sprinkler, watching fireworks, eating plenty of ice cream, and hanging out with friends.  Why does summer have to end?
