Lake fun

River

I’ve taken the kids down to the river a couple times. They love to swim and dig in the sand.

Nora’s trip

Nora and Justin went on her 13 year old trip to Orlando. They went to the Kennedy Space Museum and on a night kayaking trip to see the bioluminescence.

Helen missed Charlie

Charles was gone for so long and Helen missed him. He left without her! So she sits on him when she can.

Kitchen helpers

For once, I was able to let the little girls help me. We made biscuits for strawberry shortcake.

New glasses

Swim lessons

Bernadette’s first year!

Bath

Helen was in the bath so long that butterscotch took a nap on her towel

Splash pad

I want to be Parks

Does a super kitty help you put eggs away?

Hike

Justin took the kids not at camp or work to the hot springs. On the walk out, Helen yelled at Bernadette from the backpack she was riding in, “it’s not that hard, Bernadette!”
