Ahhhh summer, why do you have to leave us so soon? (Actually it's just starting to get to a temperature here where you can stand being outside for more that 45 seconds....think summer in the northwest.)
Out of respect for the season that is leaving us today....I'm going to take this opportunity to post summertime pictures that just never quite made it to this space (because of my time, not because of picture unworthiness).
Before driver's permit/after driver's permit... the smile says it all
These are from our anniversary in May. We went canoeing on a lake. It was a tad less stressful than our last anniversary.
Danny and Zachary had a great time fishing together. They competed in a fishing derby (Zach was Danny's coach) and Danny won a trophy. We got to eat the catfish for dinner. Bonus!
4th of July goodies
It was a summer filled with swimming. Every morning we were at the pool by 7:30.
Rach loved it.
Here she is on the "fly".
These next several are from the Smoky Mountain Invitational. It's the biggest swim meet in the country.
2016?
Okay, now THAT'S a slip n' slide. We were at our friends the Smith's house. A quote from the day, "Dude, that was aweome!" 'Nuff said.
Rachel and Clare.
The Dimock's were in Nashville for a conference and we had the pleasure of spending a day with them. It was so good to see some friends from WA in our neck of the woods.
We spent a day at the river with our friends the Henderson's. Super great family. We had such a fun time and found out that we have mutual friends. Fr. Paul Grala and Sr. Miriam James. Small world and all that.
Don't let him grab you by the toe!
Farewell dear summer. We enjoyed you and part with such sweet sorrow. Please come again soon to woo us with your loveliness.
