Summer Days...

John is working on a project building a retaining wall and leveling our hill into tiers so we can have a garden. It's looking good! Carter went to his 1st Father's and Sons Camp out with his dad. He loved it! His favorite part was reading books in the tent before they went to sleep. He took a whole backpack full of books, but he told me he needs MORE books next time. He didn't have enough. He was sick the day of the camp out but he mustered up enough strength to go anyway. He didn't want to miss sleeping up on the mountain with dad. He was so excited!The kids are enjoying fun days with friends and having picnics in our fort.Even Matson is trying to join in the fun these days.Emily and Carter love setting up a pool for the polly's outside. I'm sure Carter is going to LOVE this picture when he's a little older!






The girls formed a "Rescuers" club with their neighbor friends. Their mission was to rescue insects that needed them. They went around the neighborhood looking for bugs and even had a scripted chant they sang as they walked around. It was pretty adorable and kept them very entertained for several days. They were able to rescue a grasshopper that had been run over and was missing legs. They named him "Striker" and cared for him but ended up having to bury him the next day. So sad. :(
