Last Hoorah of Summer

We spent our last day of summer at the Wood River water park with the Lairds.  Unfortunately, it was a chilly day, but we still had fun.

Monroe's friend, Lexee, came with us

Going Away Party

I have the best group of friends in the world!  They threw our family a going away party before we moved to Hastings.  We had it at Matt and Abby's new house.  They have the most amazing backyard!

Between the nine of us, there are 23 kids.

The guys

We had the best time having a little photo shoot.  

I love these girls and miss seeing them everyday!

July Fun

First Burger King Crowns

Taking my school stuff to Hastings

First ice cream cones of their own

Swimming at Lincoln pool

Monroe jumped off the high dive.  Zach and I agreed there's no way we would have done that at the age of seven.  We were really proud of her.

 Fireworks and much needed headphones

One of my very favorite pictures of my three!

We went to Hear GI one Friday night.  One of my students was there.  Pierce and Graham really took to Elli and Emmy.

And they love Monroe's friend Grace

We went out to the Hall County Fair for the first time ever.  

Another thing I never would have done.  I love her bravery!

Quinn and the boys on the trampoline

It's sold, finally!

There is a new waterpark in Wood River that we tried out with friends one afternoon.  We loved it!

Being girls

There is a new minor league baseball team in Hastings, so we had to check them out.  It was a great family atmosphere.

 One morning we went out and played/explored at the state fair play area.  It was fun until Pierce got stung by a wasp :(

Crafts at VBS

Playing in the rain

Our first trip to the Hastings Museum

They were showing the Greatest Showman on the iMax.  The boys sat through the whole movie!

What a fun month!
