July Randoms

We had to have a little get together for the 4th of July!  Food, fireworks, Freeze's, games and sidewalk paint!  It was a fun night and I love when cousins are able to build their friendships.
Shayden & Caleb gave scaring the kids their best attempt.
On a whim one Sunday we headed to Porcupine Dam.  Casey and Shelby and I use to go there ALL OF THE TIME! But, life got busy and we stopped!  It is such a pretty place.  I really hate the drive though!  Right when we got there it started to pour rain!  We ate our lunch in the van and watched so many fair weather parties pack up and head out.  We ended up with a fantastic spot to play.
Shelby & Casey had some dirt to clean or whatever you say when you are looking for gold.  So they ran the gold cube and the kids played.  Then those brothers decided to swim across the dam and cliff jump.  Boys will be boys!
We had a family swim day at North Shore in Harrisville.  It is such a fun pool!
My strawberry plants gave us 6 beautiful, delicious strawberries!  Seriously - so much tastier than at the store.  Sweet, not sour.  Tiny though.  Hopefully next year we will have a plethora of strawberries.
Rylee and Taylor took tennis lessons for the 2nd year in a row. They really enjoy it and look so sporty!
Camp Bartlett! Before the church washes it's hands of scouting, Caleb was able to go to camp. Casey joined him too which made my mama heart happy.  Gaga ball was the big hit of the camp.  Caleb loved it!  He also came home with quite a few scary stories from his tent mates!  Memories that will last forever.
At the end of July we had a 90th birthday party for my Grandma Babe!  90?!?  My mind can't even begin to comprehend what she has seen and watch unfold the last 90 years.  I'm very lucky to have my grandparents still!  I'm glad my kids have had the oppourtnity to get to know them too.
It was a great day for a party.  There were so many dragonflies out!
